In this multi-session institute, participants will have the opportunity to develop skills for intentionally designing and implementing instructional strategies to support inclusive learning environments for a diverse student body.

The concepts, tools, research, insights, and materials gained through the institute will help participants integrate justice, inclusion, diversity, equity, and access practices into the learning environments they create. This institute will suggest ways to welcome and leverage differences for the benefit of all learners.

Participants will experience and consider a range of learning activities, including exploring personal identity, unpacking privilege, and creating accessible materials and activities for class. By the end of the institute, participants will gain foundational knowledge to continue to cultivate a community committed to inclusive practices.
