Registration Open for Inclusive Teaching 4-Part Webinar Series (Free!)

The SUNY Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology (FACT2) has opened registration for a 4-part webinar series focused on inclusive teaching. The webinars are free and run through the month of April. 

Inclusive Teaching 4-Part Webinar Series

The incorporation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the curriculum and pedagogical approaches has received considerable attention in higher education as a way to help break down systemic barriers. We must regularly ask ourselves: What biases am I carrying as an instructor, and how do I counteract their effects? How does my teaching approach affect learning outcomes? What can faculty do in the classroom to support an inclusive learning environment that fosters a sense of belonging, minimizes systemic barriers, and holds a point of access for all. The practice of embracing student diversity and designing courses to create inclusive learning environments that reach all students is not a new concept. The pandemic highlighted the urgent need to act now. This symposium is created with the intent on addressing this critical need.
