Academic administrators, instructional designers, staff members, and undergraduates in instructional roles are also welcome.
Endorsement: Inclusive and Equitable Teaching
Facilitated by Beate Brunow, Associate Research Professor
Friday, 12/19/2025 to Monday, 12/22/2025
Canvas
This endorsement is part of the Provost Endorsement Program.
This endorsement engages experienced instructors in implementing inclusive and equitable teaching in their current or upcoming course(s). This program assumes participants already understand the need for inclusive and equitable practices. Eligible participants must have teaching responsibilities in the current or upcoming academic year so that they can most immediately benefit from the content of the program by applying program concepts to their teaching. Participants will revise a syllabus or assignments for future use, reflect on their teaching based on student feedback and peer interactions, and consider how they might cultivate belonging in their courses. Once participants have registered, they will be added to a Canvas course and connected with a SITE faculty consultant.
