The feedback from the Friday, Aug.19, 2022, Learn at Lunch session entitled How to Create a Welcoming Syllabus for All Students included follow-up questions for the panelists. CTEI is delighted to welcome the panelists back for round two of sharing inclusive teaching practices. This session will set the foundation for our three-part inclusive teaching series, primarily unpacking what inclusive teaching looks like in practice.

One of the most empowering and compassionate practices that we can integrate into our classrooms is scaffolding, an instructional strategy that provides students with a framework to guide and support their learning. Scaffolding can offer a weekly structure that supports student growth, creates autonomous learners who are responsible for their own learning, and gives learners more confidence in acquiring new skills. Through Mehmet Dede and Julie Sochacki’s collaboration, they co-authored an article, “Scaffolding as a Roadmap: Guiding and Supporting Student Learning” and wish to share their experiences in the classroom.

This workshop is an introduction to integrating and incorporating active learning strategies into your STEM courses such as cooperative group activities ("jigsaw"), flipping the classroom, and activities to enhance critical thinking skills and active reading. The results of several research studies show that underrepresented students in active-learning classrooms experience narrower achievement gaps than underrepresented students in traditional lecturing classrooms, averaged across all science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and courses.
