Inclusive Teaching Institute

A page within Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning (CATL)

The Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning and the Institute for Social Justice offers an institute on inclusive teaching practices. This one-week immersive experience will allow participants to explore inclusive teaching practices and social justice pedagogies as they 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. 

To apply, please use the forms linked below.

The form will ask you for the following: 

  • Name, department/college affiliation
  • Course (name & number) for proposed redesign
  • 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; 
  • A brief paragraph describing the goals for the redesign of this particular course and why you feel it would benefit from adopting more inclusive teaching practices.

Decisions will be made based upon:

  • Instructor availability (must be available to join work sessions during the week of *dates TBD*) 
  • Interest in redesigning a course to be taught in the following semester
  • Impact of proposed changes on student learning
  • Representation across disciplines and Colleges
