Inclusive Content for Diverse Adult Learners
Inclusion and belonging are at the core of National University’s vision, mission, and ways of working. In this workshop, faculty will share and explore effective inclusive practices for providing content that helps foster our students’ experience of belonging. Full-time and part-time faculty guest speakers will share their expertise, and NU librarians will preview an exciting grant opportunity for OER creation and adaptation by NU faculty, students, and staff.
Culturally Responsive Teaching
As we continue to discuss inclusion and belonging in the online classroom in our OTLS Workshop Series, the May workshop will focus on culturally responsive teaching practices. We will discuss our role as change agents to promote an equitable learning environment for our NU students and explore what it means to be a Hispanic Serving Institution. Please join us for this unique opportunity to explore this topic and share ideas with your NU colleagues as we advance inclusion through Our Ways of Working.

Faculty play a key role in providing holistic support for Whole Human Education. In this workshop, faculty shared effective practices, discuss ways to use available student data, and explore tools designed to help faculty quickly and effectively meet each student’s unique learning needs.
