| Abstract: | Supporting faculty in ongoing processes of professional development around culturally relevant pedagogy presents numerous challenges, despite the purported benefits of this educative approach. Though faculty may have a strong desire to enhance skills in culturally relevant teaching, factors including heavy workloads, lack of teaching skills, and sensitivity to receiving potentially uncomfortable feedback impede even well-intentioned faculty. One way we have attempted to address these challenges is through the Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Curriculum Development (FDICD) program. This program involves structured peer support and feedback to assist faculty who want to plan, implement, and evaluate culturally relevant teaching practices in their coursework. This paper reports on a mixed-methods program evaluation, describing the pedagogical changes participants made, as well as the outcomes achieved by students and faculty. Our evaluation suggests that this type of program provides a valuable form of professional development for faculty while also leading to improved student learning outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
