TI 0334 - Equity, diversity, inclusion, & accessibility

Course Description

This introductory course focuses on equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) within post-secondary teaching and learning. This course requires participants to reflect on their own positionality and its impact within the classroom, while also examining their pedagogical practice through an equitable lens. Participants will analyze exclusion and inclusion within their discipline and curriculum, actively working to identify inclusive and equitable teaching strategies to promote an equitable learning environment for all students. The capstone project involves drafting an EDIA Statement that encourages reflection on beliefs about EDI and how those values are enacted through teaching practice.
