Book Club (n): A gathering of people, created for the discussion of books.
UCITE Book Club (n): A group of like-minded educators, gathered for the purpose of the informal discussion of an interesting book about (good) teaching and learning in higher education.
You are invited to join UCITE's Fall Book Club, a small and laid-back group of people meeting regularly (see dates below) to engage with one another about the contents of this semester's book, Inclusive Teaching Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom, by Kelly A. Hogan and Viji Sathy. Copies of the text will be provided, free of charge, and participants will be able to keep their books at the end of the semester.
In this book, the authors:
...[P]rovide tips and advice on how to make all students feel welcome and included. They begin with a framework describing why explicit attention to structure enhances inclusiveness in both course design and interactions with and between students. Inclusive Teaching then provides practical ways to include more voices in a series of contexts: when giving instructions for group work and class activities, holding office hours, communicating with students, and more. The authors finish with an opportunity for the reader to reflect on what evidence to include in a teaching dossier that demonstrates inclusive practice.
We have space for 10 readers, who are able to meet in-person on the following dates from 11:40 AM to 12:30 PM:
- September 16
- September 30
- October 7
- October 28
- November 11
- November 25
- December 2
The venue is to be decided.
Preference will be given to those who commit to at least 5 of the 7 meetings--book clubs can only be successful if there is a committed cohort who interact on a regular basis.
