Teaching Inclusively Series

As educators, we strive to create diverse, equitable and inclusive learning environments in clinical and classroom settings, because of the positive impacts on our students’ learning. Often we do this without any training in how to effectively do so. In addition, sometimes we observe inequitable situations occurring between students, between instructors and students, and between colleagues, and don’t say anything for fear of not saying the “right” thing, or of making the situation worse. During these sessions, attendees will engage in hands-on and experiential activities including: individual reflection of clinical educational setting and identity; small group improvisation and discussions mapping identity salience and issues of privilege and marginalization and their impacts on learning; reflection and group discussion of inclusive teaching strategies.

NOTE: There are 2 sessions in this series

noon-2:00 pm

Provides a concentrated opportunity to explore and practice responding to multiple scenarios across the landscape of dominant and subordinate identity groups in different situations in the clinical and classroom learning environment.
