Teaching and Learning for Social Impact

Inclusive pedagogy

What it is: An overarching framework for creating an engaging, motivating and welcoming learning space for students of all backgrounds. It starts with backward course design by first developing learning goals and achievable outcomes for the course. Embedding opportunities for transparent assignments and active learning through sharing, collaboration, reflection, inquiry, and interdependence allows students to co-create knowledge and deepen one’s learning. Inclusive pedagogy draws from educational, psychological and cognitive research on stereotype threat, belonging and mindsets and provides strategies on what inclusive classrooms look, sound, and feel like.
