SUMMARY:Application Period for the Spring 2026 Inclusive Teaching Track
DESCRIPTION:About the Program\n\n\n\nThe Inclusive Teaching Track is a sequence of two interactive workshops focused on cultivating equitable and welcoming classrooms in which all students can learn and reach their potential. Participants will reflect on their own experiences and perspectives and learn evidence-based strategies to design structured and relational learning experiences. By the end of the track\, participants will be able to apply principles of inclusive teaching to plan a teaching practice or learning activity that will make classrooms more equitable in future teaching or education-related careers in higher education. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Schedule \n\n\n\nInclusive Teaching as a Mindset\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 2\, 1 – 3 pm \n\n\n\nIn the first workshop\, we will define inclusive teaching and use it to evaluate common approaches to teaching in our disciplines. By introducing specific strategies\, we will learn ways to invite students into the learning experience to be responsive to the diversity in the classroom. We will practice skills in evaluating a teaching practice to promote more inclusive classroom dynamics and to consider how your own identities impact your perspectives on teaching. \n\n\n\nPrinciples and Strategies in Inclusive Teaching\n\n\n\nThursday\, April 16\, 1 – 3 pm \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we will discuss research that informs students’ sense of belonging and delve into principles of inclusive teaching. We will work together to apply these principles by planning how to clearly communicate the purpose of learning\, build a sense of community\, and signal the importance of diverse perspectives. Through the application of key principles of inclusive teaching\, participants will identify concrete strategies to create a structured and relational classroom in which all students can learn and reach their potential.  \n\n\n\nHow to Apply\n\n\n\nAny graduate student is welcome to apply. Applications must be received by 11:59 PM ET on Sunday\, March 8\, to be considered. If you have additional questions or encounter difficulty with the application\, please contact Ben Hansberry. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the Apply button will not work until the application is open.
