Diversity & Inclusion in the Classroom: Addressing Stereotype & Identity Threat
Diversity is an essential component of our personal and professional lives. Yet, so many of us shy away from embracing and addressing the full diversity that our university has to offer. In this workshop, we will discuss the impact of stereotype threat and identity threat on student learning and explore tools/strategies that can help us create a more inclusive classroom experience for all.

Supporting Success for All Students
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an instructional theory and design practice that enables diverse students to engage with subject matter while also enabling faculty to teach more efficiently and effectively. UDL not only promotes a more inclusive learning environment, but also preserves the privacy of students who require learning accommodations.
This series of workshops will illustrate how UDL principles apply to instruction in face-to-face and digital environments. This workshop examines the way UDL principles inform the use of classroom space.
