Welcome to the Innovative Teaching Showcase, a series publication created by WWU's Center for Instructional Innovation, featuring the work of several WWU instructors. In this Teaching Beyond Tolerance issue, we honor the work of several instructors, Carolyn Nielsen, Nicole Brown, and Jill Heckathorn. Here, we investigate how addressing inclusion and diversity in classes upholds WWU’s commitment to celebrating cultural diversity. For more on the theme, see Teaching Beyond Tolerance.
“Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. It is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication, and freedom of thought, conscience and belief.”United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
