Practical Solutions for Faculty: Creating an Inclusive Classroom Climate and Culture

It’s been said that “you don’t know what you don’t know”. That’s why it’s so crucial to be aware of issues such as cultural differences, hidden disabilities, and trauma sensitivity, in order to reflect on one’s own implicit biases. Educators not only need to be mindful of their own assumptions but also of the quality of the social and emotional dynamics in their classes, because all these factors impact learning and performance.
