Welcome to Practical Solutions for Faculty: Creating an Inclusive Climate and Culture. An inclusive classroom creates a supportive environment for all learners. An inclusive classroom respects people from all learning abilities, backgrounds, and cultures. An inclusive environment is one where everyone feels valued and that they are truly part of the community. Educators not only need to be mindful of their own assumptions but also of the quality of the social and emotional dynamics in their classes, because all these factors impact learning and performance. This Magna Online Course covers topics that influence classroom culture and climate including trauma sensitivity, intercultural competence, neurodiversity, disabilities, equity, inclusion, and conflict resolution.
