The Kugel model of educator development emphasizes that the journey of inclusivity in education transitions from focusing on the educator to fostering independent learners. In this session, we will discuss the challenges of Inclusive Teaching and how we can design flexible learning environments that accommodate individual learner differences. We will also touch on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how it provides a more effective strategy, ensuring all students have equal learning opportunities.

The Graduate School invites doctoral students, MMs, MFAs, and postdocs interested in joining the 2025 Certification of College Teaching Institute (May 7 and May 8 ) to attend the Information Session which will give an introduction on how to acquire your Certification in College Teaching and what you can do now to start preparing.

As educators, we are continuously learning and improving our teaching practices. This continuous improvement relies on feedback. In this session, we will share ways instructors can collect feedback from students about teaching. Furthermore, you will learn about how you will get your Student Perceptions of Learning Survey (SPLS) feedback at the end of the semester. You will walk away with an example for collecting feedback during the semester and discuss how to use this feedback for effective instruction.
