Inclusive Excellence Learning Communities & Book Clubs

May 2, 2021

Sign Up For A Learning Community or Book Club To Support Inclusive Excellence in Your Classroom!

  • What does inclusive excellence in teaching look like? What are the core considerations?
  • How does campus racial climate affect my classroom or my students’ learning experiences?  
  • How can I best strategize for equity and student success in an era of shifting demographics on U.S higher ed campuses? 
  • What actual steps can I take to make positive, sustainable change?

Our Book Clubs feature multiple small groups of faculty who meet for critical conversations, shared learning and reflection. There is no more opportune time to address many of the real concerns that face us around such issues – and to find solutions that move us toward equity and an increase in every student’s sense of belonging.
