There are always unanticipated things that come up once a course has already begun, and many aspects of implementing inclusive practices can only be truly carried out during the course itself
Accessibility
Making specific and tangible changes in the classroom, online, in your course policies, with course materials and content, and much more can radically improve accessibility for everyone from students to TAs and instructors
Assessment & Grading
There are small changes as well as new grading methods that can dramatically improve student experiences, learning outcomes, and grading in general
Fostering Participation
Student participation affects everyone in the class and who participates contributes to whose experiences are centered, who is left out, and what is actually learned
Getting to Know Students
From start-of-term surveys to check-ins to built-in elements of the course, there are many ways to center student experiences and improve classroom experiences and learning outcomes
