In any discipline or field, a key goal (and challenge) is supporting the learning of all students despite their many differences. Drawing from Georgetown's core mission of Educating the Whole Person, we strive to create learning environments where students of all identities and backgrounds can flourish. Inclusive Teaching refers to the ways in which pedagogy, curricula, and assessment are designed and delivered to engage students in learning that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible to all. It means creating a learning environment where students, irrespective of their backgrounds, can maximize their own learning and the learning of others. This session will provide a space to discuss and explore principles and practices connected to inclusive teaching and learning, share strategies for applying these ideas to the classroom or other educational spaces, and think about who our students are, who we are, and how that informs what and how we teach. We will focus on pedagogical approaches that productively engage student identity and experience in the learning process and incorporate active learning techniques. This session is for faculty and staff both new to inclusive pedagogy and those looking to engage more deeply and intentionally.
