Making the classroom inclusive

The University of Chicago is dedicated to creating an environment where every student feels fully included in the classroom. It is a key component of Diversity & Inclusion and centers around the ways in which classroom activities, curricula, and assessments are designed and delivered to engage students in learning that is meaningful, relevant, and accessible. We do this through a partnership with the Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning. 

The Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning

The Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning (CCTL) provides resources to help faculty develop more inclusive teaching strategies and navigate issues connected to bias and inclusion in the classroom. The CCTL currently offers workshops, a reading group, and other programming designed to make the classroom more inclusive for all. 

In addition, the CCTL supports the Race and Pedagogy Working Group, develops resources, and creates other opportunities for learning and practicing inclusion. 

Inclusive Teaching Services at the Chicago Center for Teaching

Brown Bag sessions provide opportunities for participants to discuss their concerns with colleagues in a low-pressure, exploratory manner. Inclusive teaching brown bags are meant to focus on what it means for classrooms to be inclusive spaces and how UChicago’s community can enhance learning for all students. Students, postdocs, and faculty are all invited to bring a lunch and participate in these informal gatherings.

In addition to the ongoing workshops and seminars the CCT provides on inclusive teaching, we are happy to develop programming tailored to individual campus units.

Developed by the Chicago Center for Teaching in partnership with the Office of the Provost, the inclusive pedagogy website serves as a central resource for academics who are committed to inclusive teaching.
