Inform your department chair/unit leader as tracking and reporting occurs at the departmental level.

Then, complete AY20-21 by engaging in the three online modules in the Canvas course.

Each module includes self-guided exercises that mirror what your colleagues completed in AY20-21. Once completed, follow the steps outlined in the How do I create a record of completion of the AY20-21 training in the FAQ section below.

First, email celt@iastate.edu with your name, department, college and request to be enrolled in the Inclusive Classroom canvas course.

A module represents each academic year of the annual inclusive classroom training. The units in each module include readings, tasks, and self-reflections for faculty to engage in before their departmental CELT facilitated training (face-to-face or online synchronous).

All data gathered will be pooled and reported in an aggregated form for use in the training. With this in mind, use netiquette, view the Netiquette at ISU page.

Once you complete a reflection, you will automatically receive full credit of 1858* points. *1858 represents when the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm (now Iowa State University) was officially established on March 22, 1858, by the legislature of the State of Iowa (Iowa State Sesquicentennial: History of Iowa State website).

In 2020, CELT facilitated the face-to-face/synchronous AY20-21 program, curated resources, and the learning modules. Participation tracking, and organizing the actual training was at the local departmental/unit level.

Therefore, we hoped that the hosting department sent a notification to the chair of the participation completion. 

As an additional record of your completion of the face-to-face component, we encouraged participants to take a photo or selfie of the experience to record their attendance.

Contact the leadership listed in the table below.

Feedback regarding AY20-21 Training was very positive. Over 1,300 faculty participants responded to the post-workshop survey: 98% strongly agree/agree that they “recognize why teaching inclusively is important,” with 93% stating that they have “identified course-specific improvements to foster inclusive excellence in the classroom” (Hengesteg et al., 2021).
