Participants complete course development activities and work toward redesigning a course based on principles for effective, equitable, and inclusive teaching. Participants complete a short orientation and eight, 2-hour modules (one per week) with readings, videos, reflection questions, learning activities, and online discussions. Adjunct faculty are compensated 16 hours for this course. The course begins May 31 and runs through August 1.
