Events & Calendars Workshop: Creating and Maintaining Inclusive Classrooms

Stephen John Quaye and Chris Linder will lead a hands-on workshop for faculty and instructional staff. Most educators have genuinely good intentions in supporting students from varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. However, sometimes we unconsciously engage in behavior that may stymie discussion or even cause harm to a student. In this workshop, Stephen and Chris will discuss building and maintaining inclusive classroom environments, specifically focusing on self-awareness and small, everyday strategies that can make a big difference in the lives of students. Through interactive discussion and activities, participants will gain tools and skills for considering ways to improve the climate in their classrooms. Advance registration is strongly encouraged.
