Welcome to the º£½ÇÂÛ̳ resource page for inclusive teaching! This page was developed by the º£½ÇÂÛ̳ School of Education to help faculty across all courses and programs (at USC and at other institutions around the globe) better teach the concepts of diversity.
Diversity is one of the four pillars of our school’s mission and values, and is intended to be integrated across all curriculum and student experiences.
Teaching diversity can be challenging, particularly concepts like privilege, identity and consciousness raising. Our goal is to unpack these sensitive topics and identify ways to address them.
How to this page
The resources on the Tools for Inclusive Teaching page help faculty provide readings for courses, and can also be used as activities and resources in class.
This page is organized around different facets of diversity – gender, sexual orientation, race, social class, disabilities and the like. We hope that these resources help provide a platform to highlight the complexity of diversity in all of its various forms.
