Spring 2022 Inclusive Teaching Practicum
This past Fall, the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching launched the inaugural Inclusive Teaching Practicum at Northwestern, and over 200 faculty, staff, and graduate students participated! Based on the University’s Principles of Inclusive Teaching, this three-week cohort-based online program is designed for instructors of all levels, backgrounds, and teaching contexts to deepen their understanding of how their identities, positionality, and practices (as well as those of their students) impact course climate and student learning, and to reflect on how they may interrogate and de-center dominant perspectives and content.
The Searle Center is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the next session, taking place from Monday, April 11 – Friday, April 29. To secure your spot, please register by Wednesday, March 30.
Who can participate?
Faculty of all levels, staff who teach, graduate instructors, and teaching assistants are welcome to participate. We do recommend that you have been a TA at least one time (or have had some experience teaching) before participating.
What is involved?
For three (3) weeks, participants will attend four (4) hours of synchronous sessions per week. Each week includes two (2) core sessions (1.5 hours each) and one cohort meeting. Some sessions include brief pre-work. There are also opportunities to learn from and consult with experts and peers. Please see the program schedule and description here.
If you have any questions about the Inclusive Teaching Practicum, please email inclusiveteaching@northwestern.edu.
The Inclusive Teaching Practicum is a collaboration of the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching, AccessibleNU, the Office of Equity, Social Justice Education, University Libraries, Human Resources, The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project, Teaching and Learning Technologies, The School of Professional Studies and the Office of the Provost.
