Inclusive Classroom Practices
- Gender Balance Assessment Tool. It gives an indication of the % women, and % authors
of color on a syllabus https://jlsumner.shinyapps.io/syllabustool/
- 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.
- 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. If you're interested in learning about or participating in future Inclusive
