The Institute for Excellence in Teaching & Learning provides resources for faculty and academics who are committed to inclusive teaching. While there are many definitions, in brief, inclusive pedagogy means deliberately creating learning environments where all students feel valued and supported, have equal access to learning, and are treated equitably.

When faculty and learners embrace inclusivity as an asset, we create inclusive environments that foster a deeper understanding of the ideas and skills at the heart of a course.
