Creating an inclusive classroom climate may be a clear goal for a university classroom, but the reality can be difficult to enact. In this seminar, the CRLT Players, an interactive theater troupe, will depict problematic or ambiguous classroom interactions relating to race and ethnicity in the classroom. After each scenario is presented, participants will discuss the teaching issues involved and suggest practical strategies which the actors can then incorporate into the original scenario. This format is particularly useful for clarifying complicated classroom dynamics and exploring the concerns and strategies most relevant to those in attendance. Who we are as instructors, and who we think we are, affects our teaching effectiveness.
