Inclusive Pedagogy Faculty Mentoring Network

Brought to you by

Visit Partner Group on QUBES

 

Goals

  • Increase understanding and implementation of inclusive pedagogy in ecology classrooms
  • Develop, implement, and assess effective materials and inclusive pedagogical practices for teaching data-intensive modules in the classroom
  • Join a diverse community of practice in small group virtual meetings over a semester to exchange ideas, effective tips and strategies in lecture/classroom/lab
