Tips, Tricks, and New Ideas for Approaching Diversity and Inclusion in the Classroom

Session #10333

Friday August 7, 2:00 – 4:00PM EDT (UTC-4)

Due in part to growing heterogeneity in student populations and important societal events such as #BlackLivesMatter, #MeToo and #Time’sUp movements, this session aims to foster ideas for teaching “hot topics” related to D&I. Participants will learn how to translate D&I research for classroom materials, create teachable moments from current events, and gain tips on transferring D&I topics from the physical to the virtual classroom.
