Inclusive Education

Illustration showing three groups: accessibility (all can reach a board), equality (same opportunities, but not all can reach), and accommodation (a ramp lets a wheelchair user access the board).

To support the full participation of all students and provide every student with an equitable opportunity to succeed in their courses here at UIC, we need to be intentional in the design of the learning environment to ensure it feels welcoming, accessible, and inclusive of everyone. The Inclusive Teaching Toolkit provides faculty resources for building an inclusive syllabus and adopting teaching practices that help to create a positive classroom climate supporting our diverse students. It also serves as a resource hub to enable instructors to find additional resources on campus and in other organizations who study and develop resources supporting equity-minded teaching and a culturally-relevant curriculum.
