More Description

Inclusive College Classrooms provides instructors with research-based practices and tools to create an effective and inclusive classroom environment. This important book responds to the current obstacles facing higher education institutions by filling a visible gap in pedagogical training books, as well as in graduate pedagogy courses and new faculty pedagogy orientations, to help instructors improve the methods they are already using, identify new methods that could enhance their courses, and become more confident overall as they develop a discourse for talking about teaching. The authors' intersectional approach to teaching, which is informed by both critical and inclusive pedagogy, explains the systemic practices and attitudes in education that exclude oppressed groups and creates an accessible and equitable classroom, where students from historically marginalized groups can feel heard and represented. This timely volume is packed full of example lessons for across a range of disciplines, tips for moving classes online, questions to stimulate thinking about various methods, and appendices on lesson planning. With this book in hand, all instructors, even those who have been teaching for decades, can adapt their current pedagogy to be more inclusive and accessible.
