Inclusive Teaching

Do you have an example of an inclusive teaching practice, assignment, assessment, or other strategy that you would like to share with instructors across the State University of New York system?

The SUNY FACT2 Inclusive Teaching Task Group is interested in learning more about faculty engagement and experience with inclusive teaching and learning practices.

They are looking for faculty who are using inclusive teaching techniques and are willing to share their success across SUNY, so that other faculty might be inspired to engage in new inclusive teaching techniques in their own courses. The Task Group will be creating an online repository of these examples and highlighting a few in the FACT2 Inclusive Teaching Webinar Series coming in Spring 2023: April 6, 13, 20, 27 at 1-2 p.m. ET.

 Some examples of this could be:

  • Inclusive Syllabus – examples of faculty on campus using the syllabus to set the tone for diversity and inclusion to create a welcoming environment for students.

  • Teaching the Controversy – examples of faculty on campus integrating diversity-related controversy in the field/discipline as part of the course content and/or learning activities.

  • Social Justice Assessment – examples of faculty on campus that are using social justice platforms for assessment techniques to determine student learning in the course.

This is by no means a comprehensive list. We are really looking for any innovative ways faculty are incorporating and assessing inclusive teaching practices into their students’ learning.

Please complete the Inclusive Teaching Survey and/or share the names of 1-2 faculty on your campus who are using innovative methods to be inclusive and, where appropriate, forward this information to individuals who are champions of inclusive teaching.

While it is anticipated that this form will remain running, if there is interest in being considered as part of the FACT2 Spring Inclusive Teaching Webinar series, please respond to the survey by Friday, March 3, 2023.

Thank you for your time,

Carlos R.A. Jones and Audeliz (Audi) Matías,

Co-chairs of the FACT2 Inclusive Teaching Task Group
