“…strategies must constantly be changed, invented, reconceptualized to address each new teaching experience” (hooks 1994: 10–11).

“…there must be a setting for folks to voice fears, to talk about what they are doing, how they are doing it, and why” (hooks 1994: 38).

We hope that the practices outlined in this section of the Teaching Guide will help you develop your own inclusive pedagogy. How will you apply these practices in your own section, studio, or lab? How will you adjust them to fit your teaching style? And how, as bell hooks suggests, will you continue to re-conceptualize them for each new teaching experience? We encourage you to answer these questions in community with other GSIs—in the 375 Pedagogy course in your department, GSI Center Workshops on Teaching, and confidential teaching consultations with GSI Center staff. Your efforts can directly reduce the exclusion that students experience at Berkeley.
