Promoting LGBTQIA+ Student Success in the Classroom
Join us to learn how you can support LGBTQIA+ student academic success in the classroom. Despite reporting a higher rate of experiences which negatively impact their academic success, LGBTQIA+ students are as likely as their non-LGBTQIA+ peers to indicate a desire to seek an advanced degree. During this workshop, participants will explore strategies to help LGBTQIA+ thrive in the classroom.
A variety of classroom formats will be discussed including traditional, face-to-face, virtual, synchronous, asynchronous, and active learning.
Participants will be able to:
- Explain why inclusive practices in the classroom are essential to LGBTQIA+ student success
- Describe at least two barriers which could negatively impact LGBTQIA+ academic performance
- Identify strategies to support LGBTQIA+ student success in the classroom
