About Learning through Diversity

Faculty and students bring an array of experiences, backgrounds, and skills to the teaching and learning process. Effective teaching capitalizes on these rich resources to the benefit of all, which we call “Learning-through-Diversity.” At the same time, CIRTL recognizes the reality that existing social and educational practices do not always promote equal success for all learners. Thus, creating equitable learning experiences and environments requires intentional and deliberate efforts on the part of present and future faculty.  Learn more about Learning-through-Diversity.

Somehow I managed to have good enough grades. I improved in high-school, mostly thanks to a much better teacher and the fact that by that time I was obsessed with having good grades and couldn't let a weird language screw up my marks.
