This 5-part workshop series addresses key issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education classrooms, and supports educators to develop teaching strategies shown to foster equitable learning outcomes. The program requires completion of three projects related to lesson plans and syllabus design, and is organized around a learning community that explores the following topics: identifying common barriers to learning; teaching to cultural strengths; implementing Universal Design for Learning; embracing identity and difference in the classroom; promoting active and collaborative learning; and scaffolding assignments to benefit student success.

In this 5-part workshop series supported by the CITL and The Humanities Institute’s Expanding Humanities Impacts and Publics initiative, graduate students explore and experiment with a variety of resources for integrating digital methods into the classroom. Participants develop creative, technology-driven approaches to enhance student learning around a set of key competencies, including critical reading, data analysis, working with primary sources, annotating objects and collections, and translating knowledge and findings for a public audience. Each participant is expected to develop a digital assignment to be used in a future instructional setting. In this way, the program helps participants develop pedagogical practices that can inform their future career search.
