Theme: Inclusion and Interactions

This set of online workshops focuses on raising awareness of the experiences of international students in our classrooms, as well as mindsets, approaches, and simple, versatile, low-stakes activities (things you can do!) that support meaningful cross-national interactions in our globally diverse classes. You will also learn simple, yet high-impact ways to intentionally establish and foster a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive learning environment. This is important because students do not enter our learning spaces on equal footing, and some feel marginalized, including many international students who have reported feeling  “invisible.”   

This package is part of the Teaching to Prepare Global-Ready Graduates professional development program that is open to faculty, instructors and instructional staff from outside the University of Minnesota.
