There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Instructors are increasingly asked to teach large classes and create active, learner centered environments. In the process, instructional opportunities that ensure both equity and diversity in large classes can be overlooked. This interactive workshop will explore some of the causes of unintentional inequity in large classes and their consequences on student learning. Through case study, discussion, and engaging activities, participants will discuss practical teaching strategies that promote equity and diversity for all students and improve student learning as well.
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to: (1) describe the opportunities in teaching large classes to promote equity and diversity; (2) identify connections between the challenges of teaching large classes and the challenges of equity in the classroom; (3) explain examples of unintentional classroom inequity from student-written case studies; and (4) generate practical teaching strategies to create equitable classrooms that promote student learning.
