Strategies for Inclusive Courses

Linse, Angela R., and Suzanne Weinstein. Strategies for Inclusive Courses, Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence, Penn State, State College, PA, 2020.

This three-page document includes tips about (1) designing an inclusive course curriculum, (2) providing varied opportunities for success/achievement, (3) motivating Learning and establishing relevance, (4) meeting students as individuals and creating opportunities for students to do the same, (5) creating an inclusive course environment, and (6) teaching inclusively. It is not a ‘checklist’. Using these strategies does not guarantee an inclusive learning environment. Creating inclusive courses requires effort, attention, and intention.  Creative Commons Licenses
