Inclusive Pedagogy at UD

The University of Dayton's religious and civil traditions affirm the inviolable dignity of each person. Recognition of and respect for the person are central to our life as a Christian and education community and are what allow us to pursue our common mission while being many diverse persons.

As part of its ongoing Commitment to Community, the University of Dayton has identified Ten things faculty can do to Advance Inclusive Excellence and Anti-racism in the Classroom, including #9, "Utilize Existing UD Resources." In addition to those listed on this page, relevant resources have been linked on subsequent pages. The UD community is welcome and invited to suggest additional resources, guides, or any other relevant information by contacting librarydiversity@udayton.edu.

Many of the materials in the Inclusive Pedagogy Resources at UD box below have been generously shared by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and the instructors and other members of the UD community who have shared their experiences and expertise through workshops.

Inclusive Excellence Academy
Each academic year the Office of Diversity and Inclusion hosts 15-20 Inclusive Excellence Academy (IEA) sessions. Sessions increase intercultural knowledge and identity awareness and equip attendees with knowledge and skills to develop long-term, sustainable initiatives for the creation of inclusive learning and working spaces. Workshop topics range from understanding cross-cultural interactions to creating inclusive classroom environments to understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion through a Catholic and Marianist lens.

In the Classroom

Inclusive Excellence and Teaching Remotely
This guide was developed by the Office of Diversity and Inclusive during the shift to remote learning. It includes a survey that can be used to allow students to anonymously identify any barriers to access or other concerns in the classroom.
Partners in the Classroom - MEC
Partners in the Classroom provides faculty the opportunity to invite MEC staff and other partners into the classroom to present on a variety of diversity and leadership topics. The workshops are designed to assist students in increasing understanding of their identities, systems of oppression and liberation, and implicit bias.
