Faculty & Staff Resources

These sites offer examples of pedagogical strategies used by faculty at James Madison University for inclusive course instruction. For easy reference, the strategies are grouped by the diversity topic that the instructor targeted (such as race/ethnicity, age, or socioeconomics). Many of them, however, can be modified to fit other topics, so please feel free to browse. The second site provides additional inclusive teaching resources.
