In our 100th episode, we dive into “Teaching & Learning in the Diverse Classroom,” a Massive Open Online Course developed by Cornell’s Center for Teaching Innovation. Two of its creators, Melina Ivanchikova and Matt Ouellett, as well as contributing faculty member Giulia Friso, discuss the importance of incorporating diversity concepts into the teaching of any subject matter. They also provide suggestions for how you can develop these skills in your own teaching, learning, and life.
