Teaching and Scholarship Hub

Join the Faculty Hub for an interactive workshop on inclusive syllabus design. In this session, participants will learn how to craft a course syllabus that makes space for all students, promotes student engagement and agency, and provides students with the tools they need to succeed. Throughout the session, we will identify strengths and areas for improvement in our own and others' course syllabi, critically reflect on the beliefs and assumptions that we communicate through our syllabus design, and collaborate with colleagues to revise a syllabus to more clearly and intentionally support equity and belonging. We hope participants will leave this session with a variety of strategies for creating a course syllabus that lays the foundation for an inclusive classroom.

Participants should bring a draft syllabus with them to the session. They will be invited (but not required) to share their syllabus with colleagues for feedback.

*Note: Participants can choose to join this session virtually (via Zoom) or in-person at the Faculty Hub (Tower Room, Boatwright Library). Registration will be capped at 20 participants. Coffee, tea, and light breakfast will be provided at 9am for in-person participants. Those joining virtually will be sent a Zoom link prior to the session.
