This is a workshop designed to help members of the MIT community improve their teaching skills by learning to foster inclusive environments for their students. Attendees will be asked to consider how their own identities influence their roles as instructors and mentors, and reflect upon how preparations for the first day of class can set the tone for an inclusive classroom year-round.
In this interactive 3 hour workshop, you will learn how to:
- articulate the intersectional identities you hold,
- identify how different teaching practices can be received by diverse audiences,
- assess strategies that promote inclusivity starting with the first day of class, and
- create an action plan to address inclusivity in your classroom.
This workshop is supported by qtPhDs, in collaboration with the Postdoctoral Association, the Committee on Race and Diversity, and the School of Science Quality of Life Program.
