Picture of Estela Bensimon and title of webinar

A syllabus is much more than a contract. It is an artifact through which classroom culture can be deciphered, and which can help students feel welcome, represented, and valued. A syllabus reflects how a faculty member views students as learners and the efforts that the faculty member will make to support their success. In this session, you will learn six features of equity-minded syllabi: Welcoming, Creating a Partnership, Representing, Deconstructing, Demystifying, and Validating.
