Building a Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
11:30 a.m.鈥�1 p.m.
Online via Microsoft Teams
.
In this workshop, facilitators will introduce the pedagogical competencies and frameworks of Intercultural Teaching Competence (ITC) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), reflective tools that help guide instructors in designing courses and creating safe,
interactive, flexible, and culturally responsive classroom environments.
The workshop will centre on a (virtual) 鈥渉ands-on鈥� activity where participants in small groups will arrange the 鈥渂uilding blocks鈥� of culturally responsive teaching by identifying the connections and overlaps of UDL and ITC. Then, together, we will reflect on, discuss, and strategize ways to incorporate these concepts into our course designs and teaching practices.
Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, we hope that you will be able to:
- articulate the main ideas of ITC and UDL, and how these intersect to form culturally responsive pedagogies (CRP)
- identify ways in which you are already using ITC, UDL, and/or CRP in your courses
- feel inspired and invested in continuing to embed CRP into your course designs and teaching
