This dimension describes how instructors foster a supportive, inclusive, and equitable learning environment for all learners.
Sample indicators are organized into three levels: Involved, Engaged, and Leading. Levels are not dependent on the length of time instructors have been teaching; Lethbridge College instructors begin their teaching careers with varied professional and academic backgrounds. Instead, as instructors move from Involved to Engaged to Leading levels, the complexity of demonstrated skills and tasks increases.
Instructors at the Involved level focus on creating a supportive and collaborative environment for all learners and begin identifying potential barriers to learning and issues of inequity within their learning space(s).
Instructors at the Engaged level ensure an inclusive environment for all learners by mitigating barriers to learning and instances of inequity in their learning space(s).
Instructors at the Leading level mentor colleagues in creating inclusive environments for all learners and look for opportunities to promote decolonization, anti-racism, and other attitudes necessary to creating and maintaining equitable learning spaces.
