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.

Whether conscious of it or not, instructors and students bring most of who they are to the learning environment, including their biases and stereotypes. Biases can emerge as (micro)aggressions during class discussions, student-student interactions during group or lab work, or between students and instructors. If left unaddressed, biases and microaggressions negatively impact the learning climate and hurt students' engagement, sense of belonging, and academic success.
