Positive! Supportive! Guided! Non-evaluative!
Three remote full-group meetings determined by a poll (one in Week 2, Week 4, and one in Week 10)
Two or three one-hour observations of synchronous online or on-ground classes
Deadline to register is April 8.
How can inclusive pedagogy promote greater participation and engagement from students with different abilities or backgrounds? How do you ensure that every student feels included in your lessons? What strategies do you use to accommodate students with diverse learning needs? During this teaching square, you will implement principles of inclusive pedagogy in the classroom. This teaching square will introduce ways to support all of your students by creating an inclusive classroom. Through this non-evaluative opportunity, you will learn theory and activities and have the opportunity to apply what you learn by observing others and having others provide you with feedback.
What’s the Commitment?
- Participate in a kick-off meeting to meet your Teaching Squares peers and learn about inclusive pedagogy. – Week 2
- Participate in a second meeting to discuss a strategy that you are using or will apply to create an inclusive classroom. – Week 4
- Participate in two or three reciprocal observation rounds. Each round will take approximately two weeks. You will teach, observe, and provide feedback during each round.
- Participate in a Teaching Squares group sharing session at the end of the quarter. – Week 10
Please note in order to provide enough flexibility for others to observe your teaching, you must hold regular synchronous sessions in your online or on ground class.
12 PD hours and $350 stipend depending on the size of the group, for eligible faculty who attend the meetings, complete the rounds, and write a final reflection
