Listen Later

Norma Montague shares of her experiences going from awareness to action, interrupting bias in the classroom on episode 618 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

One thing that my work on inclusive teaching focuses on, is really being able to understand your learner’s motivations.

-Norma Montague

One of the ideas that I learned from a colleague who had recommended a book was the idea of rebranding office hours as student hours.

-Norma Montague

I think it’s important to help students understand what those student hours are for and how they can get the most out of them.

-Norma Montague

When students feel safe in the classroom, then they’re going to contribute, invest. That’s when I find that I can really increase their rigor and challenge them more.

-Norma Montague
