Overview
At UIC, our classrooms reflect a wide range of student identities, experiences, and needs. As teaching assistants, one of the most important ways we can support student learning is by creating classroom environments where students feel valued, supported, and able to succeed. In this workshop, we'll explore what inclusive teaching looks like in practice and discuss concrete strategies for supporting students across a variety of instructional contexts.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify common barriers that may affect student learning and engagement
- Respond to common classroom situations using practical strategies centered around accessibility, belonging, and care
- Develop a personalized toolkit of inclusive teaching strategies to support student success and growth across a variety of instructional contexts
WORKSHOP FORMAT: This workshop will be held in Lincoln Hall room 115 (707 S. Morgan Street)
