Application Deadline

The Inclusive Teaching Institute (ITI) is a one-week immersive experience that will allow participants to explore inclusive teaching practices that enhance student success and sense of belonging with a focus on accessibility and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Participants will work independently on redesigning one course for an upcoming term. Limited enrollment.

Participation carries a $500 stipend and those who complete the Institute receive an "Inclusive Teaching Certificate" badge on their UWL profile.

  • A short description of some of the concerns you struggle with in this particular course that you are hoping to address with your participation in the institute;
