Students are introduced to you and your course through the syllabus. A syllabus that emphasizes and transparently articulates inclusive and equitable student learning experiences can set a positive and welcoming tone for the semester. In this webinar, you will learn about the learning-centered syllabus rubric and the equity-minded syllabus review guide, two syllabus design tools that you can use to self-assess and improve your syllabi. The facilitators will also present sample syllabus language and formats that exemplify these best practices in syllabus design.
