We will focus on building effective communication through dialogue and our experiences, discussing how to empower students when building ground rules (class norms), and exploring strategies for facilitating conversations, including the O.T.F.D. (Open The Front Door) and A.C.T.I.O.N. communication frameworks.

Explore ways to create a welcoming learning environment (no matter the course modality), brainstorm what we can do to build an inclusive environment, share campus resources and programs, and extend your learning about teaching inclusively.
