Resources to Support Teaching During the Election

Global political instability, domestic polarization and an upcoming election, as well as ongoing injustices, contribute to a highly charged campus climate. As a result, you may wish to teach class online or asynchronously on Election Day or in the aftermath. Consider using our inclusive pedagogy toolkit as well as our resource on facilitating difficult discussions to help engage the issues and create as productive an experience as possible.  Click the Teaching Online link in the navigation bar above for techniques to move your class online.
