Teaching Guides

Inclusive teaching happens when your teaching strategies and interactions with students convey transparency, community and engagement. How is this achieved? When you inclusively Design, Deliver and Reflect. How you choose to craft your assignments, your delivery methods, and your pursuit of personal reflection and growth are examples of inclusive teaching in action.

Clemson's Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation (OTEI) offers a variety of services and resources to ensure your success as an educator prior to and throughout each semester. Browse our guides, templates and other helpful teaching tools to learn more about the importance of inclusive teaching practices.
