Inclusive Classroom Practices
 

  1. Gender Balance Assessment Tool. It gives an indication of the % women, and % authors of color on a syllabus https://jlsumner.shinyapps.io/syllabustool/
     
  2. The School of Social Sciences is continuing to generously support the hosting of Professor Heidi Hardt and her colleagues' website https://gradtraining.socsci.uci.edu/. It includes a free, publicly-available, user-friendly searchable database of citations that are coded by gender. Anyone is welcome to diversify their syllabi, if they wish to do so, by searching for a topic and finding readings authored by scholars of a given gender.
     
  3. Extended guide to creating accessible learning environments and a 1-page checklist for everyday habits of accessible teaching--are meant to help instructors and TAs engage in practices that increase accessibility by serving a wide-variety of learner needs.These (and eventually other) resources can also be found at Inclusive Instruction website.
