Are you passionate about making academic librarianship more inclusive? The ACRL Instruction Section Inclusive Pedagogy Committee is looking for presenters for an upcoming webinar. We're planning to highlight the resources made available through the ACRL Inclusive Pedagogy Toolkit and elevate the work folks are doing around inclusive pedagogy in their libraries. In Spring 2023, we hosted a panel introducing the toolkit, and now we want to learn about how librarians have implemented these resources.
The Inclusive Pedagogy Committee invites you to submit proposals for 10-minute lightning talks. We'd love to learn about your work!
🎯 Aim of the Session
The purpose of these talks is to share practices and ideas about inclusive teaching, specifically focusing on library instruction and the Inclusive Pedagogy Toolkit. By sharing these practices, we aim to cultivate a community of educators committed to inclusion and equity.
📝 Topics of Interest
We welcome proposals that cover but are not limited to:
-
Tools for Instruction: Share your tips and techniques on self-reflection, recognizing implicit bias, and using sample lessons or tutorials.
-
Universal Design: Talk about how you make your learning environment accessible to all, regardless of ability.
-
Classroom Engagement: Share activities, games, or methods you use to keep everyone active and included in the classroom.
