Teaching for Equity, with Empathy | Indiana University, Bloomington

The uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic are creating tremendous challenges for students, and especially students from vulnerable and marginalized groups. If we fail to support students through these challenges, we risk exacerbating inequalities on campus and making students' trauma worse. As educators, then, we have a responsibility to teach for equity and with empathy. This webinar highlights what that approach looks like in practice, with concrete recommendations for administrators and for instructors teaching on campus and online.
