Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Each student is an individual. Create an inclusive learning environment.
Recognizing the harm behind biases and stereotypes and the importance of creating an environment free from these so every individual student thrives.
Every student is different, and you must keep that in mind. Also, don't let you own bias cloud you judgement, don't assume.
Every student learns differently; therefore, making it imperative that instruction is adapted accordingly.
Diversity is very important in class. We as instructors need to pay attention on those facts to be able to help as many students as possible.
Providing a more inclusive learning environment sets students up for success in the classroom.
By providing an all-inclusive environment where every student feels they can be successful without intimidation of any type. Making each student feel accepted and valued.
Realizing tone can make someone feel less included.
Stereotypes can be harmful to the learning environment because they can lead students to feel marginalized and as though they are not fully understood within their educational program.
Fostering an inclusive environment in which each student feels empowered to bring their best, most authentic self to the table.
While instructing a cohort, it is vital to use inclusive language in order to connect with more students which will then help the instructor to learn more about their students and specific learning preferences.
DI is definitely not " cookie cutter". Everyone is different
I have learned the importance of not stereotyping, especially based on assumptions of others and your own personal experiences. Recognizing the importance of the individual is an important part of their learning process being achieved.
Every student has prior educational and personal experiences that will impact how they learn in class. Trying to get to know students as individuals will help understand their prior experience.
Every persons experience shape how they learn and what they value
everyone is unique in their own way, based on personal and life experiences
It is really important to know each student is unique and they have their own values, beliefs, culture and life history.
Each person is different and learn in different ways. Creating a learning environment where everyone feels included, respected, free from bias allows them to grow beyond what they may have felt possible when given the appropriate tools to be successful.
Creating an inclusive and welcoming learning environment where every learner feels valued ad respected.
