Dear faculty,
Last week I was asked by Dr. Zach Justus to have a conversation with teaching assistants in Communication Studies about inclusive teaching practices and how equity and diversity can be brought into the classroom.
The request was both incredibly simple and incredibly complex!
My main concern was being able to condense information in a way that would be comprehensive and yet not overwhelming, and create a set of resources that could capture all the nuances of approaching EDI from a pedagogical perspective.
To be fully honest, I was surprised that I had not come up with such resources before. We have many tools about EDI in Faculty Development, they were just not collected in one place. So, this request was a great opportunity to explore some of our resources and organize them in a presentation that is easy to share. This is by no means an exhaustive and complete list, but I hope it is a good starting point for instructors that want to approach more inclusive practices in their courses.
You can access the slides here, and they will probably morph and grow into something bigger in the next weeks.
If you have used some of these practices, share your experience on our blog!

I love this whole post! In reviewing the slides, I immediately thought about the transferability of the concepts…how could my students in child development apply these ideals in an early childhood classroom? And it all transfers…it looks different, but all of the components of EDI are so applicable in many settings. Thank you for sharing!!!
