“Incredibly rich and textured and nuanced.” “Re-energized me to continue working on my teaching.” “Really wonderful and empowering.”
These are some of the phrases past attendees have used to describe the Notre Dame Inclusive Teaching Academy (NDITA). To learn more about what makes it so special, Designed for Learning host Jim Lang talks with Horane Diatta-Holgate, one of its organizers, and 2024 participant Dana Lashley, who is an associate teaching professor of chemistry at Notre Dame.
NDITA combines keynotes, interactive sessions, and structured work time to allow participants to reflect on their teaching practices and learn practical strategies for promoting inclusivity in their courses to the benefit of all students.
Hosted in Chicago by Notre Dame Learning’s Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence, NDITA is open to educators from both Notre Dame and other institutions, with the Kaneb Center covering much of the cost of attendance. Applications for the 2025 NDITA are due by March 10.
Key Topics Discussed:
Guest Bios: Horane Diatta-Holgate is an assistant teaching professor in Notre Dame Learning’s Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence, where he develops and coordinates programs to support instructors with designing courses and classroom environments that foster critical thinking, meaningful engagement, and effective interpersonal communication. He earned his MSEd and Ph.D. in educational psychology and research methodology from Purdue University.
Dana Lashley joined Notre Dame’s Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry as an associate teaching professor in 2024 after 10 years on the faculty at William & Mary. She holds a Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry from Auburn University and teaches both semesters of the organic chemistry sequence at Notre Dame, among other courses.
Resource Mentioned:
Designed for Learning is hosted by Jim Lang, a professor of the practice in Notre Dame Learning’s Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence and the author of several influential books on teaching.
