|RED| Inclusive Teaching Certification

The RED Inclusive Teaching Certificate Provides opportunities for faculty and teaching graduate students to reflect on multiple facets of inclusive teaching, encompassing the creation of a welcoming, equitable course climate, the design and implementation of accessible and inclusive classroom practices and assessments, and the selection and implementation of inclusive, diverse course content.

Participants will engage with key concepts in inclusive teaching and learn from various stakeholders on
our campus and other institutions of higher education who share their important research on student
development, Universal Design for Learning, intercultural competence, global learning and more.

Participants will develop the resources for applying inclusive course pedagogical practices that support
all learners.

  • There is no cost for the certification
  • Taught 100% asynchronously
  • Applications for certification are submitted online and accepted in August each year
  • Participants have one year to complete the certification from the time of enrollment

Who is eligible to participate?

Open to all NC State faculty, full- and part-time faculty, as well as teaching graduate students and postdocs.

Through satisfactory completion of this certification (ITC), graduate students and postdocs can apply 20 hours toward their Teaching and Communicate Certificate.
