Students arrive in the classroom with a wide range of abilities, as well as things that can hold them back if the instructor isn’t aware of both. This session will give TFs concrete strategies for planning inclusive sections. In addition, the speakers will explain the idea of universal design and show how designing an inclusive course—from the syllabus and readings to technology and assessments—is the best practice for all students’ learning.

“Inclusive Teaching & Diversity in the Classroom” is sponsored by the Bok Center and American Studies, with major funding from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and additional funding from African and African American Studies, Anthropology, History, Study of Religion, the Graduate Student Council, and the History Graduate Student Association
