The Office of Inclusion Education and UW–Madison Libraries partnered to develop two online micro-courses to expand your knowledge about inclusion and leadership.  These non-graded, self-paced, and interactive professional learning objects aim to expand learners’ knowledge of inclusion, such as race in the classroom and facilitating discussions around racial topics:

• Reflecting on Inclusion Foundational Concepts – This micro-course focuses on some of the foundational concepts helpful for fostering deeper self-awareness and understanding of other inclusion topics. This developmentally sequenced course is intended as a place for reflection on one’s own experience at a pace that feels manageable to each person who completes it. Lessons include social identity, socialization, implicit bias, and micro-messaging. If you are already familiar with some of these concepts, challenge yourself to consider them from new angles or identities.
• Including and Navigating Race in the Classroom – This micro-course focuses on the importance of diverse representation in classroom materials, integrating materials into courses, and facilitating conversations around racial topics. This developmentally sequenced course is intended as a starting point for an iterative process of continuous development on best practices for inclusive classrooms. The level of content in this micro-course is appropriate for graduate students and staff.
