Be the Architect of Your Inclusive Classroom
Based on the authors’ collaborative work with K–12 public school teachers, this practical book offers an invitation to create dynamic learning opportunities in classrooms designed to challenge and support to ALL learners. Because teaching contexts are always unique and shifting, we cannot rely primarily upon scripts, recipes, “best practices,” and prescribed curriculum. Rather, based on teachers’ analysis of their own contexts, the authors describe and show how today’s educators can curate strategies, curriculum, and methods to design a sustainable classroom architecture that maximizes student engagement, learning, and belonging. Attending to principles of culturally sustaining pedagogy, Universal Design of Learning, and “backwards design,” the text focuses on curriculum design, classroom behavior, and building relationships with students, colleagues, families, and communities. Readers will come to understand why this kind of teaching is both complex and inherently rewarding. Book Features: Provides actionable tools to create classroom curriculum and practice that will improve learning and equity outcomes for all students.Stimulates collaborative dialogue through Fearless Inventories that invite teachers to examine their own practices that promote belonging and student success.Uses a lens of critical inclusivity, offering a bottom-up and collegial approach to designing instruction. Focuses on learning rather than compliance and belonging rather than ranking and sorting learners. Includes numerous examples of teachers creating inclusive classrooms as central teaching points.

This powerful, practical resource helps faculty create an inclusive dynamic in their classrooms, so that all students are set up to succeed. Grounded in research and theory (including educational psychology, scholarship of teaching and learning, intergroup dialogue, and social justice theory), this book provides practical solutions to help faculty create an inclusive learning environment in which all students can thrive. Each chapter focuses on palpable ideas and adaptive strategies to use right away when teaching. The first chapter consider professors’ intersecting personal and social identities and their expectations for themselves and their students. Chapter 2 considers students’ backgrounds, including class, race, disability, and gender, and focuses on what students bring to the classroom, exploring their basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and belonging; their approaches to learning; and their self-doubts and uncertainties. Chapter 3 draws on universally-designed learning in combination with educational design rooted in social justice and multiculturalism to describe ways to design spaces in which students flourish academically. Two chapters focus on classroom dynamics. Chapter 4 primarily focuses on preparation for having difficult conversations in the classroom, considering how instructors can create a shared understanding between themselves and their students. Chapter 5 focuses on in-the-moment strategies to both create and manage discomfort about sensitive and controversial topics while supporting students of various social identities (such as gender, race, disability). In the closing chapter, the author integrates all the elements in the preceding chapters, and also presents more general college-wide programs to help faculty develop and improve their teaching.
