We work hard at CSI to build an environment where all students feel respected, valued, and supported in their personal learning journey. CSI's Teaching & Learning Center works with instructors to promote student achievement and belonging in the following ways:
- Training and 1:1 Consultations to Create Accessible Learning Environments: we help to promote critical thinking and perspective taking, encouraging instructors to consider multiple points of view and engage critically with course content from a student view. We know that instructors play a significant role to broaden horizons and promote empathy and understanding.
- Curriculum Development Support: we foster a learning community as one significant opportunity to assist in the design of classroom curricula that reflect the perspectives and experiences of our students. This learning community supports instructors in reviewing course content, selecting learning materials, and integrating important topics such as empathy and belonging into curricula.
