The authors developed a training program for higher education instructors to help them reduce barriers to student success and create more equitable educational outcomes. The program provides a series of workshops in three competencies from a diverse array of educational development offices. The workshops focus on understanding ourselves and our students and how our identities shape learning, strategies for infusing inclusive teaching practices into instruction, and ways to make all course material accessible. As part of the program, participants submitted reflection statements in which they shared with the authors the strategies they adopted, along with the challenges they faced implementing these changes.

This chapter summarizes what the authors learned from participant reflection statements and provides examples of inclusive teaching practices that instructors were eager to adopt. These faculty approaches are grounded in research and organized from the simple and quick to implement to those that are more complex and time consuming. The authors also comment on the implementation and evaluation of the program.
