包容性教学实践
The 看看中心 considers inclusive teaching to be the intentional use of course design and teaching methods to create equitable learning environments where all learners can be successful, regardless of differences in identity, background, ability. Inclusive practice involves an explicit commitment to recognizing and minimizing the potential for exclusion, in everything from syllabus design to assessment methods, 从教学策略到教室布局. 我们相信，承诺是包容的 教学以大大小小的方式不断进行.
