Hogan and Sathy, Inclusive Teaching Strategies: Chapter 6 (Inclusive Practices Outside the Classroom)
All too often, educators focus exclusively on what happens inside the classroom without considering ways that we can promote inclusive learning environments before our students ever begin our classes. Chapter 6’s emphasis on “Inclusive Practices Outside the Classroom” provides a great perspective on how we can convey the kind of welcome and support that is so crucial when creating those relationships that help students learn more effectively.
