Purpose
The purpose of this reflection exercise is to give you the opportunity to synthesize your learning from the Inclusive Teaching Toolbox webinar series and consider how you have applied or will apply it in your teaching practice. This reflection exercise will help you close the loop on this professional development effort and articulate its impact on your growth as a scholarly teacher who engages in research-based, inclusive, and equitable teaching. We encourage you to use your reflection responses in your annual review documents and your teaching portfolio/philosophy.
Steps to complete and submit reflection
- This reflection exercise may take 60- to 90-minutes to complete and submit.

- What plans do you have for incorporating what you learned in the Inclusive Teaching Toolbox webinar series to enhance your teaching effectiveness? Please provide one or two examples to illustrate the change.

CTL consultants will review your submissions looking for complete, thoughtful, and clear responses to all three questions. Reviews will be completed and you will receive a letter of completion for inclusion in your teaching portfolio and dossiers.
