Inclusive Teaching

This is a pretty good read: Want to Reach All of Your Students? Here’s How to Make Your Teaching More Inclusive. The authors emphasize the importance of structure and offer a nice analogy: "For example, say you threw a party to bring together your single friends. They are far more likely to meet a variety of people if you plan icebreakers and activities (high structure) than if you simply provide space and time for the event (low structure). The same is true of learning: More structure means more students will engage and learn from you and their peers...the extroverted party lover is going to mingle and meet people in either a low- or high-structure event. But the introverts (like us) who aren’t comfortable with random mingling won’t. Helping those who need the structure doesn’t harm those who don’t."
