Responding to Racial Bias and Micro-aggressions in an Online Environment
From Cora Learning "The transition to online instruction and student services in response to COVID-19 presents a substantial challenge for most post-secondary institutions. Among the most pervasive challenges are issues with racial bias and racial microaggressions that serve to impede the student. "
University of Michigan, Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. “The Research Basis for Inclusive Teaching.”
"How do we know inclusive teaching is effective teaching?"
Vanderbilt University "Difficult Dialogues"
"For most teachers, leading classroom discussion on difficult topics is a perennial challenge. Part of the challenge lies in the fact that we never fully know which issues will be “hot buttons” for our students. Conversations can become heated very quickly, and before long, it can feel like the class is careening out of control. This guide seeks to help teachers feel more confident leading difficult dialogues by encouraging reflection on how such discussions connect with larger learning goals, and by providing specific strategies and resources that teachers can use to create more productive conversations in their classrooms."
