Presentation Transcript
Help while traveling: Frank Tuitt: Inclusive Excellence (IE) is the recognition that a community or institution s success is dependent on how well it values, engages and includes the rich diversity of students, staff, faculty, administrators, and alumni constituents, and all the valuable social dimensions that they bring to the campus, including but not limited to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, nationality, age and disability. More than a short-term project or single office initiative, this comprehensive approach requires a fundamental transformation of the institution by embedding and practicing IE in every effort, aspect, and level of a college or university. Stated differently, the goal is to make IE a habit that is implemented and practiced consistently throughout an institution.
Five dimensions Intrapersonal awareness/consciousness Interpersonal awareness Curricular transformation Inclusive pedagogy Inclusive learning environment
Keys to inclusive pedagogics Create positive working relationships with all students and among the students. Become aware of prejudices; your own and the group s. Work on self-esteem (self-image) of students. Work on self-motivation (acting on your own) of students. Communicate your high expectations of all students. Appreciate and use multiple perspectives. Stimulate and ensure student collaboration. Show students that you are also learning; be a reflective professional.
Interventions Push Pull Suggesting (present ideas, recommendations) Listen/ask questions (what is said and what lies behind, ask open questions to check your understanding) Explanations/arguments (present background or factors of an action) Be quiet & acknowledge Evaluating (assessing or sharing your opinion on the stand point of the other person) Creating shared visions (describe perspectives and options, formulate shared wishes and hopes, detachment, role of the elder , depolarized) Judgment (knowing better, polarization) Honesty/opening up (admitting mistakes and sharing insecurities) Pressure (offering rewards/threats) Summarizing/mirroring (showing that you hear what the other is saying, showing recognition, respect, taken seriously, slows down pace so there s space to breath and think)
Assignment Look at the keys to inclusive pedagogy Look at the pull interventions Try to come up with interventions/questions that you could use in your classroom: what can you do to make the environment safe, brave and accountable?
