Sparkshop: Creating Inclusive Learning Environments for Gender Expansive Students

The Searle Center is hosting an online session on Wednesday, February 28 at 3:00-3:30 pm (CT).

Support Northwestern’s gender expansive students on February 28th with a Sparkshop to create safe, affirming, and inclusive learning environments. Efficient and engaging, Sparkshops are 20-minute presentations meant to spark curiosity around topics relevant to contemporary teaching contexts. The 2023-24 Series: Getting to Know Our Students focuses on advancing instructor understanding of rising demographic groups in the Northwestern student body, outlining evidence-based practices to harness common assets and overcome common obstacles so all students can thrive at Northwestern. 

The second Sparkshop in our series, Creating Inclusive Learning Environments for Gender Expansive Students, provides instructors with insight and pedagogical tools for the classroom. For instructors who would like to deepen their engagement, each Sparkshop comes with a comprehensive Learning & Teaching Guide to enhance instructor knowledge of effective techniques as well as an invitation for a one-on-one consultation with Searle Center staff.
