Did the Implicit Bias Test surprise you?
Has there been a recent teaching moment that intrigued you?
Teaching is not an easy task to master. I think that many people outside of teaching believe that teaching is easy and that anyone can do it. This may be true, but not just anyone can teach well. There are many things going through a teacher’s mind while they are teaching. Did I make my …
This week’s topics centered around the idea of Inclusive Pedagogy, a term I was previously unfamiliar with. However, after reading more I really like that it’s a all hands on deck, community effort. Both the students and instructor have to work together to ensure that inclusive pedagogy is possible and actively implemented. While I really […]
I have been thinking very deeply about inclusive pedagogy throughout my Ph.D. degree program in Rhetoric and Writing. My views of inclusive pedagogy is not just understanding that we have implicit biases or that we are complicit in the system that we aim to deconstruct. I was hoping to understand how I have implicit biases …
There seems to be an unspoken right for professors to call on students without warning. This I actually understand and sometimes do because volunteers sometimes take 5 minutes to push through silence (and there really isn’t time for that). While … Continue reading
Not Again. This is my second time taking two implicit bias tests in a row. Both times I took the disability test the second time. Both times my results indicated a strong preference for abled bodies of disabled bodies. How…
Inclusive Pedagogy is a new trend based on the increased diversity happening in the classroom. Nowadays, differences in races, origins, sexual preferences, and backgrounds enrich learning experiences and developments in the arts and sciences. However, although being beneficial for learning, the problem remains that these differences remain not clearly addressed in pedagogical approaches. Because ofContinue reading “Inclusive Pedagogy as a result of Increased Diversity”
The topic of inclusive pedagogy is a very important topic to me, as I try my best in all areas of life to be cognizant and inclusive of others. The Brave Spaces / Safe Spaces article by Arao and Clemens
This week in the Contemporary Pedagogy class, the topic for our blog is “Inclusive Pedagogy.” After reviewing the Georgetown University Center for New Designs in Learning & Scholarship website, which by the way, is a great resource whose mission is “to support teaching and learning at Georgetown means intentionally and explicitly supporting inclusivity in education.”Continue reading “Creating an Inclusive Classroom”
This week’s readings got me thinking a lot about a workshop I conducted a few years ago. The workshop focused on identity and culture – the idea was to get first-year students to understand their identity and how they can work with other people who may have identities that are different from their own. Discussion […]
Based on the definition, active learning is “an approach to education that does not consider students the passive recipients of knowledge transmitted from an expert, but rather, active agents in their own learning.” The approach of active learning offers two … Continue reading
Culturally responsive teaching and inclusion is one of the topics always on table for discussion. It has been incorporated in teaching strategies and preparations for years, yet there is an urging need to address it every time. I was watching the video recommended by Homero “Same differences: How microaggressions are like mosquito bites”. I think … Continue reading Inclusive Pedagogy
As I was reading this weeks’s material on inclusive pedagogy, I started reflecting on my own experience as a student through the undergraduate level until today. As I was processing the ideas in from Arao and Clemens [1] and from The Teaching Commons I found myself listing the most memorable classes where the classroom felt like … Continue reading Inclusive Pedagogy
Two years ago, when I heard the words “diversity,” “equality,” or “inclusion,” my mind immediately went to including people of minority backgrounds on the table, or reaching the “number” that would “solve” underrepresentation in any fields or settings, or focusing on accommodating minority to help them succeed. Only after I started reading about critical paradigms …
