Description
Do you have an idea for a course? Are you hoping to integrate principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) into your design process? In this learning community, participants will use methods of backwards design to develop a course that fully integrates an intersectional approach to teaching. Backwards design is an evidence-based approach which prioritizes the meeting of overarching learning objectives. This community will meet for six week. Participants will develop their individual courses by working through the components of backwards design in guided asynchronous exercises. Once a week, participants will also meet synchronously on Zoom to exchange peer feedback and consult with facilitators. By the end of the community, participants will leave with a completed course centered on DEIJ principles. Applications due Friday, May 20.
This learning community is targeted towards Graduate Teaching Associates.
Synchronous meetings will take place on Tuesdays from 2-3:30 pm on Zoom, from 5/31 to 7/5.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
