Inclusive Teaching Fellows Program

Inclusive Teaching Fellows Program

The Inclusive Teaching Fellows partner with CATLR as we advance teaching practices promoting inclusion and a sense of belonging across Northeastern. Each Fellow works with a CATLR staff partner as well as the other Fellows to identify inclusive practices that they want to incorporate or expand in their own teaching, document the results, and draw on their experience as well as evidence in the research literature to develop materials and experiences to help other faculty adopt those practices themselves.

Inclusive Teaching Fellows work together toward the following goals:

1. Collaborating with a CATLR partner across the year as they adopt or expand specific inclusive practices in their teaching
2. Documenting their practice with a focus on gathering data to assess its effectiveness
3. Exchanging insights and effective practice at collaborative monthly meetings
4. Identifying a network of other Northeastern educators interested in similar aspects of inclusive teaching
5. Co-developing and co-facilitating a University-wide event to help others adopt an inclusive teaching practice
6. Generating a substantive evidence-based resource for educators to include in the CATLR website and newsletter
