Summer 2023 Inclusive Teaching Practices

Call for Participants

The Vilas A. Prabhu Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) invites all faculty (pre-tenure, tenure, and part-time) to collaborate in an Inclusive Teaching Practices publication. We will be publishing this editor-reviewed collection as an Open Educational Resource (OER). 

To explore how the Inclusion Statement, DEI efforts, and Inclusive Teaching Mindset (from Inclusive Teaching and Pedagogy+ 2023) exists within the pedagogies and classrooms of Millersville University faculty, Drs. A Nicole Pfannenstiel, Emily Baldys, Jess Hughes, Ann Marie Licata, and Karen Rice invite chapter contributions from faculty at Millersville University. We invite faculty to share and publish a classroom/learning space lesson plan or activity that centers inclusive teaching mindset, DEI efforts, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Chapters will be template formatted to support cohesion within the publication, templates will be provided to participating faculty members.  

To accomplish this, we invite faculty to register to participate in Pedagogy+ and Spring 2023 workshops. Pedagogy+ Winter 2023 will introduce faculty contributors to the inclusive teaching mindset at the heart of our OER publication. Spring 2023 workshops will further the conversation and support faculty writing efforts so we can publish the work late Summer 2023.  

Faculty will be compensated with $1,000 summer stipend upon successful publication and completion of all deliverables.
