In an effort to advance the values of equity and diversity in real-world situations, the UW–Madison-based Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) released the new instructional resource, “Ethical Dilemmas in the College Classroom: A Casebook for Inclusive Teaching.”
CIRTL is housed in the School of Education’s Wisconsin Center for Education Research.
Co-authored by Rosette Cirillo, a UW–Madison doctoral student and CIRTL graduate assistant, and Sarah Silverman, formerly with the Delta Program at UW–Madison and now an instructional designer at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, the casebook serves as a valuable resource that calls on current and future faculty to discuss and think deeply about their inclusive teaching practices. The casebook, created with support from the National Science Foundation, takes a contemporary look at dilemmas instructors face in today’s classrooms and offers strategies for facilitating difficult conversations around each case.
