Strategies for Inclusive Classrooms: Supporting Students with Various Backgrounds, Experiences, and Identities
Want to learn more ways to create a supportive learning environment? Motivate and engage learners? Get to know your students? Design an inclusive lesson? This 90-minute workshop offers faculty an opportunity to reflect on what they're already doing to promote inclusive excellence in their classes while exploring new strategies they can try. Come share your ideas and help us plan our next steps. You'll leave with practical strategies you can use in your own classroom to enhance learning by leveraging the diverse perspectives of our students.

Teaching analysis
The premise behind this series of workshops is that we cannot simply assign analytical tasks for our students; we have to teach students to analyze, often in more structured and scaffolded ways than many of us experienced as students. While this is being coordinated through the Communication Across the Discipline with support from the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment, the leaders of individual workshops will be bringing perspectives from the various intellectual skills in our Institutional Learning Outcomes: information literacy, oral communication, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and written communication.
May 6, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. ~ Building 2 - Conference Room 151: Teaching Analysis Through Building Images ~ Facilitator: Swarup Wood, Critical Thinking Assessment Coordinator
