Teaching for Belonging: Inclusive and Identity-Responsive Instruction
To ensure Humber faculty had a “roadmap” to guide their process to integrate EDI into their professional practice and to create a guide for Humber community members who are at different stages in their understanding of EDI, an EDI Guide entitled, “Teaching for Belonging: Inclusive and Identity Responsive Instruction” was developed. The author of “Teaching for Belonging: Inclusive and Identity Responsive Instruction” is Professor Shara Stone.
