Program Abstract: Centre College is using faculty learning communities and other faculty development workshops to promote implementation of inclusive teaching practices as we work towards institutional change. Our ultimate goal is broad institutional integration of equity and inclusion throughout our curriculum, faculty evaluation system, and all aspects of student life. To facilitate this long-term process, our short term goals are to develop faculty knowledge and proficiency in the integration of inclusive practices in their teaching spaces. The initial response to our HHMI IE3 funded interventions has been strong, with significant numbers of faculty participating in workshops and learning communities. We look forward to continued progress and inter-institutional collaboration.
