Inclusive Pedagogy

In addition to Inclusive Pedagogy events designed specifically for faculty, we also offer collaborative workshops aimed at bringing educators and students together to discuss inclusive teaching and learning at Vassar.

Faculty Learning Communities

The LTRC offers support to anyone currently teaching through a variety of opportunities. Faculty and instructors are welcome to explore Teaching Tips addressing a variety of topics related to inclusive pedagogy.

As practitioners of inclusive pedagogy, faculty are also invited to take part in various cohort experiences: 

  • Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) bring together small groups of faculty to read a book about a topic related to evidence-based inclusive pedagogy and try out related practices in their respective teaching environments.
  • Student Teacher Engaged Pedagogical Partnership (STEPP) is a partnership program that centers intentional dialogue about teaching practices in a semester-long faculty-student collaboration. 
  • Teaching Pairs is a semester-long program in which faculty pair up to observe each other in their teaching across disciplines to gain new insight on their teaching through a guided non-evaluative process.

Furthermore, instructors are welcome to get involved in the projects and working groups coordinated through Engaged Pluralism, which is open to everyone—students, staff, faculty, and administrators—and collectively focus on building communities of belonging, inclusion, and equity across campus.

Students are invited to consider taking part in the STEPP program as partners who consult with faculty on their teaching, and in the broader initiatives and working groups of Engaged Pluralism.
