Strategies for Inclusive Teaching and Learning

Resource Overview

Strategies for inclusive teaching and learning at WashU and beyond.

Inclusive teaching and learning refers to modes of teaching and learning that are designed to actively engage, include, and challenge all students. The practice of inclusive teaching can also help instructors broaden and expand their understanding of their own disciplines and of what they hope to accomplish in teaching and in research. The Teaching Center’s strategies for inclusive teaching and learning are developed in collaboration with the Washington University Standing Committee on Facilitating Inclusive Classrooms, and with campus partners such as the Center for Diversity and Inclusion, the College of Arts & Sciences, Cornerstone, the Office of the Provost.
