Pedagogy of Equity (POE)

Course Description

With increased access to higher education, our classrooms and workspaces include multiple dimensions of diversity, which necessitate the intentional design of courses and work spaces to create an atmosphere where students and staff are more likely to thrive and persist. This course will focus on intentional inclusive pedagogical design and building critical communities that embrace diversity and engage students in course work that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible. Participants will examine their own practices and learn how to apply concepts and strategies from the course to their own work and learning environments. This is a pass/fail course that requires weekly discussions, reflection, analysis, and creating an action plan, based on course concepts, for implementation.
