Crafting an Inclusive Course Outline

An inclusive course outline often means starting with a mindset of creating a learner-centered approach that focuses on the needs of students. An inclusive course outline makes all students feel welcomed and communicates to students that they are active participants with valued perspectives in the class. Therefore crafting an inclusive and learner-centered course outline takes time and thoughtful language. It also means that your course outline needs to be reflective of your inclusively designed course.
