To better learning success for all students, UIC presents instructors and teaching assistants with CATE and CIRTL, an internal and external network of teaching materials and strategies. We have also compiled specific pedagogical resources relevant to DEIJ efforts within Biological Sciences in our Education Resources tab.
All students deserve respect and to feel welcome in academic spaces. When students have a sense of belonging they have improved health, academic, and engagement outcomes.
We can show this support through welcome statements on our syllabus such as the one created by our BioS faculty, staff and students.
Diversity and inclusivity STEM posters created by Sammy Katta can be used to display on own or lab website.
As educators, the most important part of creating an equitable and inclusive learning environment is to be open and willing to do our own personal education and self growth. UIC is one of the most diverse institutions in the country, with 54% of first year students stating diversity was the most important factor in their decision to attend. Fostering an ideal learning environment includes learning about other perspectives and experiences than our own.
