ABSTRACT

IV. Teaching and Academic Diversity

In the realm of teaching and academic diversity, the term "knowing and doing"
denotes the comprehension and effective implementation of inclusive and diverse
teaching methodologies. This requires educators to acknowledge the diverse
backgrounds, experiences, and requirements of their students, and integrate these
elements into their teaching practices actively.

B. Knowing and doing


Knowing comes from the intellectual part of our mind: Conscious Mind. This is
where we have been conditioned to live our lives by. Knowing or Knowledge will
usually be the starting point of our growth. This is where the second aspect comes in.
Doing comes from the emotional part of our mind: Subconscious Mind. This is
where a person's habits, beliefs, and emotions are held. It is this part of the mind that
controls the doing. It is said that having all the knowledge in the world is of no use if
nothing is ‘done’ from that knowledge.

 Building Inclusive Pedagogy


Inclusive pedagogy embraces cultural differences, constructs welcoming
environments for sharing cultural perspectives, and assigns writing that challenges
students to think critically about diversity and equity issues.

1. Create an Inclusive Syllabus


In addition to outlining the overall structure of your course, a syllabus
allows you to convey your expectations for inclusivity. Along with information
about texts and topics, the syllabus may also convey your expectations on course
interactions and what you want students to know, learn to do, and appreciate by
the end of the course. A comprehensive syllabus is important for students to have
to understand what they need to do to succeed.
2. Reduce Anonymity
Consider getting to know your students to help them better connect with
you and each other. (Introduce yourself)
3. Assess Student Backgrounds
Students enter our classrooms with varying skills, knowledge, values, and
social and emotional experiences that influence how they engage in learning. Try
to understand some of their starting points.
In addition, students arrive with various experiences that can impact the
way they learn and how they interact in the classroom.

 Developing the Goals and Skills for Inclusive Teaching


Inclusive teaching often referred to as equitable or equality-focused teaching,
is a method in which educators create a learning environment where all students -
regardless of ethnicity, disabilities, gender, sexual orientation, and background -
have equal opportunities to succeed. All students must receive equal treatment and
respect.
Students must also be afforded every opportunity to reach their full potential.
Educators must identify blockers, barriers, or boundaries preventing students from
partaking, completing assignments, and learning.
Moreover, educators may self-assess to remove bias from their teaching
method and appraise the source materials to ensure diversity.
To implement inclusive pedagogy effectively, educators must develop
specific goals and skills that promote equity and accessibility in their classrooms.

What are the main features of inclusive teaching and learning?

a. Creating a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment


b. Cultivating cultural awareness and sensitivity
c. Differentiating instruction and assessments
d. Encouraging critical thinking and reflection
