Vendor training from the Online Learning Consortium:
In this webinar, Dr. Teshell Ponteen Greene from HHMI Biointeractive and Dr. Matthew
Hall of Curio Group will showcase HHMI BioInteractive’s Inclusive Teaching Course,
a freely available, asynchronous course for those in service of student success. Using
Brian Dewsbury’s Deep Teaching Model (2019) and the work of Kayon Murray-Johnson and
other scholars featured, the course aims to deepen the practitioner’s knowledge and
implementation of inclusive pedagogy in every course and support the varying needs
of learners.
Learners in North America come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Educators
must be ready to meet the needs of their student body, regardless of their institution
type (small, large, research-focused, teaching-focused, etc.). Incorporating inclusive
teaching practices and techniques into their courses helps all learners.
Although it was originally designed as a professional development course for life
science educators and administrators, the Inclusive Teaching Course can benefit instructors
across all disciplines in higher education. Given HHMI BioInteractive’s commitment
to creating Open Educational Resources, Inclusive Teaching is freely available through
open access courses on Canvas Commons, through the HHMI BioInteractive site, and deployable
in multiple LMS formats.
In this presentation, Teshell and Matthew will also discuss the origins of the relationship
between Curio Group and HHMI BioInteractive. They will discuss their co-design practice
and utilization of The Learning Journal to guide learners through their unique, personal,
contextual journey toward pedagogical transformation. This course is designed to be
put into action, and the Inclusive Teaching Action Plan is a learning experience designed
to drive learners to greater equity-minded practices and foster continuous learning
in all education spaces.
