Overview
How do curricular modules within broader courses effectively address diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging (DEIJB)? This workshop guides participants through a process of designing curriculum that incorporates DEIJB curricular components for use within an overall course. Effective DEIJB curriculum engages learners in diagnosis of intersecting systems, and it must also guide our ability to consider, evaluate, and apply problem-solving strategies as “systems thinkers” who simultaneously consider complex challenges from many angles. This workshop includes and goes beyond common approaches, guiding participants through a structured process of applying best practices. As a result of completing this structured curriculum design / re-design workshop you will gain an initial working plan for a DEIJB curricular component to integrate into your course(s), and examples of other curricular models to adapt as needed.
This workshop takes place in one single 3-hour (180 minutes) instructor-led session. Throughout the workshop, there will be numerous opportunities to interact with the facilitator and other participants, with ample time provided for questions, discussion, and reflection.
