Decolonize Teaching and Learning

• Acknowledge your positionality (e.g., race, settler/Indigenous, gender) and consider its relationship to your work
• Consider your responsibility to creating a just and equitable learning environment
• Understand learning is a life-long journey and embrace humility in that process
• Identify opportunities to use the privilege within your positionality (e.g., amplify oppressed voices and knowledges)
• Empower student agency (e.g., allow for different forms of knowledge dissemination or assessment, or allow students to investigate new knowledge forms to share with class)
• Employ collaborative activities within course time to support critical reflective learning
• Provide avenues for anonymous student experience feedback throughout the course
• Identify opportunities to engage Indigenous communities in the development and/or delivery of course content
• Identify opportunities for inquiry-based instruction where students engage knowledge with communities to address social and environmental issues
• Provide alternative methods for lecture or seminar participation and allow time for students to reflect upon and demonstrate knowledge
• Use multiple, low-stakes assessments to provide formative feedback to students
