The Enacting Equity Series uses sections of the Enacting Equity Guidelines to direct professional development along four axes of inclusive teaching: self-reflection, introductory information, course content, and assessment and evaluation.

In each workshop, participants will reflect on how aspects of their teaching are shaped by various forms of inequity and apply inclusive teaching practices to address equity gaps.

There were four workshops offered during the Fall 2021 semester. Click on the toggles below to view the details for each workshop and watch the recording.

Setting Guidelines for Inclusive Discourse

How do students know how to interact in civil, constructive ways? Whether you set guidelines yourself or collaborate with students to build them, they serve students‘ understanding of how to engage with each other in your course and the real world. In “Setting Guidelines for Inclusive Discourse”, we’ll practice strategies for preparing students for productive dialogue in courses of all modalities.

 

Who is Represented in Your Course?

How are they represented – and how aren’t they? Representation in education – in textbooks, images, examples, and more – is a continuing challenge for many student populations.
