With the United States' changing demographics and an ever more inclusive university system, students of diverse cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds are making American education both more exciting and more complex. Inclusion of new groups not traditionally found at the university has led to increased interest in promoting multicultural understanding.
Unfortunately, college teachers do not always receive good information on how to address such issues in their classrooms. Many new teachers at UNC must learn how to promote an inclusive classroom by trial and error, rather than by preparing for it before they start to teach. This can lead to unfortunate situations, for both the students and the teachers. This handbook provides college teachers with an easy-to-use source of ideas and teaching techniques to help create an inclusive classroom atmosphere.
The consultants at the Center for Teaching and Learning, located on the ground floor of Wilson Library, are available to consult with UNC teaching staff about their particular classes and to suggest other useful resources on campus.
