We provide professional development opportunities to help faculty learn how to better ground their writing and reading pedagogy in justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. Encouraging faculty collaboration and co-learning are critical to these efforts and the resources shared below reflect our goal of cultivating a community of faculty mentors and leaders. In addition to courses and programs designed specifically for supporting student success and learning WAC curricula, there are also other available courses that offer opportunities for continuing professional development in pedagogical theory, equitable and inclusive online course design and faculty community building. The courses are provided below to assist faculty with course design and developing best teaching practices, but do not require completion. These resources below reflect our goal of cultivating a community of faculty leadership and mentorship.
