#CheckandReflect tip to improve inclusivity in your practice:

Affirm professional inclusion: for many subjects, there are several inspiring role models in senior positions that can be included in your slides. Think about showcasing a variety of protected characteristics.

5. Provide clear guidelines for group work including expectations for participation, deadlines and communication

Do you want to create a more collaborative and inclusive classroom for your students? Incorporating low to no stakes group learning opportunities can help. Here are five tips to get you started 👉 🧵

3. Encourage collaboration: this can help students learn from each other and gain new perspectives

4. Provide feedback on group work: focusing on the process and how well students worked together, rather than on the final product

#CheckandReflect tip to improve inclusivity in your practice:

Create an open resource list to help include more representative materials in the curriculum. Having an online word doc open to students to add materials can create a diverse knowledge bank for future cohorts.

Higher education should be a safe space for all students and faculty, regardless of their race. Steps such as making data more accessible to all staff, and understanding overt and covert forms of racism are all helpful in kickstarting an #antiracist journey in higher education

🎓🔑 Power imbalances in academic advising hold students back ⚖️

We can change this by helping students recognise they are experts too, experts of their own experience.

Whatever they have to share is valuable in the learning process 🌟💪

Students want to see more diversity in the staff who are teaching them. Whilst sector recruitment catches up, what can you do?

- Ask alumni to share their journeys
- Invite diverse practioners to talk
- Use videos from diverse experts speaking on your topic
