3. Next Steps
You have almost reached the end of this module!
Throughout the module, you have had opportunities to think about how to integrate considerations of equity, diversity and inclusion. These final reflection questions are intended to cement some of these ideas by helping you translate your learning into some concrete ideas to take forward into your teaching.
If a colleague asks you why inclusive teaching matters in your discipline, what would you say?
What are 3 specific things that you will try or change in at least one course next term to make it more inclusive?
In conclusion...
Inclusive teaching is not a quick checklist that you can run through regardless of your discipline, teaching context, etc. Instead, bringing a lens of equity, diversity and inclusion to your teaching means noticing individual and social differences in your classroom, being attentive to your own identity and assumptions, and remaining curious about what you can do to continue learning and improving as an instructor.
You have only just begun to build inclusive teaching into your classes.
In the ”Additional Resources and References” section that follows you will find multiple links to videos, additional reading, and UBC-specific tools and campus locations designed to help you learn more about and apply the principles of inclusive teaching that we have introduced in this module.
This module is part of a five-part course focused on equity, diversity and inclusion. We invite you to visit our other four modules on Canvas.
