3/8/23 Warming Up the Syllabus Workshop

Three sections in the inclusive syllabus template provide great opportunities for establishing an ethos of care in the classroom, and promoting welcomeness to engage. Writing the course overview, how to succeed, and inclusivity statement sections allows instructors to reflect on ways to establish a positive classroom culture at the outset of the course.

During this hour, you will get to hear from our students’ perspectives what they value in each of these sections. Next, you can discuss with colleagues ideas for a section you’d like to work on. You will then have plenty of time to draft a section for fall on your own, which you can then review with a partner at the end of the session. Bring a syllabus from a course you’d like to work with!

Objectives:

1. Review student feedback on the value each of these three sections brings
2. Discuss and develop ideas for one (or more) sections with colleagues
3. Draft one of the three sections for your spring syllabus
4. Receive feedback on your draft from a partner
