Description
The purpose of this project is to move the discussion in international education away from coping mechanisms and assimilation strategies toward a more inclusive classroom environment. Using long-form qualitative interviews, this project analyzed current FYEX 100 and KSP 106 instructors’ methods to facilitate an inclusive classroom environment. The presentation will highlight both success and barriers to an inclusive classroom that emerged from the interviews in four key areas: 1) Course structure and outcomes, 2) Building community and belonging, 3) Instructional strategies, 4)Instructor development related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
