Creating an Inclusive Syllabus

The syllabus is often the first point of contact between your students and your course. How can you ensure that this important document is inviting, not discouraging? In this session, we’ll review strategies to make your syllabus more welcoming, transparent, and supportive of all students. Plan to bring an existing syllabus to evaluate and begin to revise.

Learning objectives:

• Identify recommendations and resources for developing inclusive syllabi
• Evaluate an existing syllabus for inclusivity
• Begin to revise your syllabus to make it more accessible and usable for all your students
