Inclusive pedagogy in the humanities: a workbook

This workbook is designed for hands-on use by college teachers in humanities subjects who wish to make their pedagogy more inclusive in all ways. It thus focuses not only on the content students encounter (whether they include diverse voices in the culture or discipline under study) but on routine classroom practices, class climate, assessment, and the lenses through which the teacher views and approaches everything that takes place in the educational setting. The workbook is designed as a series of steps any teacher can take when preparing for a semester, beginning with analysis of the teacher’s own attitudes and dispositions; proceeding through adoption of inclusive pedagogical practices across all classes, and ultimately focusing on details of course design. In course design the workbook assumes a backwards-design model, beginning with objectives and learning outcomes and proceeding through class assignments, activities, and assessments.
