Inclusive Teaching & Learning
CATE's Commitment to Inclusive Teaching and Learning
In support of the diversity, equity, and inclusion goals of Moody College of Communication and the University of Texas at Austin, the Center for Advancing Teaching Excellence (CATE) is dedicated to supporting inclusive teaching among all members of teaching teams.
Inclusive teaching benefits all students by fostering a welcoming environment where every learner has equitable opportunities to optimize their learning, to feel equally valued, and to achieve their goals. At CATE, we lead with an inclusive teaching approach that permeates all aspects of the resources and services we provide. We take a “small steps” approach to identify and advance strategies for faculty to incrementally implement in their teaching practice.
What can you do?
Inclusive teaching benefits all students and can be incorporated into any and all new and existing courses. There are many small things that you can do to make your classrooms and your teaching more inclusive that don't require a lot of additional time and work.
