Engaging in Inclusive Practices amid Challenging Times Learning Community

An individual stands at the front of multiple rows of desks. Six individuals sit behind the desks with computers and notebooks.

Aspects of inclusive teaching can improve the experiences in and outside the classroom for all students but particularly for those that are underrepresented. Many faculty indicate that they do not have enough time or tools to engage in these practices that can support student success in the classroom. 

The Engaging in Inclusive Practices amid Challenging Times Learning Community is bringing together a group of educators to explore topics on inclusive practices in order to create more positive learning environments for students so that they can persist in their majors and toward graduation. Participants in this learning community are working to learn about inclusive practices so that they can acquire knowledge and tools to take to their respective colleges and departments to continue this work.
