The revolutionary practice of inclusive teaching

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Inclusive teaching in its truest form requires teaching approaches that both recognize society's current inequities and cultivate students' agency to continue to shape and remake society in more equity-minded and just ways. Here, I identify the issues in our current approach toward pedagogical development, including the untethering of science teaching from the broader social realities of our students and society and the persistent aversion that higher education pedagogy still displays toward non-cognitive pedagogical approaches. I suggest here an acceleration of a paradigm shift of teaching praxis, focusing on the intentionality needed behind infusing sociopsychological contexts in our approaches. Such a shift can recenter humanism in the teaching process and relink our pedagogies to broader social growth.
