| Oct 31, 2019 at 19:25 | comment | added | Zach H | Harvey Mudd is often held up as an example of a CS department with an inclusive curriculum - there are several news stories about it from a couple of years ago. You may want to read them. | |

| Oct 30, 2019 at 22:00 | comment | added | user97709 | @Battle from several United Nations program documents (as an example as to quite common understandings of inclusivity): "Social inclusion is the process of improving the terms of participation in society, particularly for people who are disadvantaged, through enhancing opportunities, access to resources, voice and respect for rights." | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 21:57 | comment | added | jvriesem | @Battle: Inclusive practices allow everyone to participate and learn to their maximum ability. Certain things prevent certain people from being able to participate fully, so being inclusive is one way of maximizing the effectiveness of my teaching. Inclusive practices may not directly benefit everyone, but they do directly benefit certain students a LOT. (Can support with research if desired.) | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 21:19 | comment | added | TaliesinMerlin | Universal Design for Learning might be an interesting read for you. UDL guidelines emphasize (1) multiple means of representation (delivering course content in multiple ways - varying class activities with lecture and providing powerpoint slides); (2) multiple means of expression (students can demonstrate knowledge in multiple ways - discussion, deliverables, appropriately scaled tests); (3) multiple means of engagement (tasks fit learners' interests and try to motivate all students appropriately). And no, inclusivity is not any more ideological than focusing inefficiently on lecture alone. | |

| Oct 28, 2019 at 18:31 | comment | added | jvriesem | @AzorAhai: I saw some of the "things" you refer to recently, but I am optimistic that we can build a supportive and inclusive community regardless of imperfect efforts on the part of the company that owns this site. The SE community does not consist only of the SE company. We make it what we want. I choose to be inclusive regardless of those around me. If SE follows suit, they get me as a user. If they choose to not be inclusive (not just small mistakes due to individuals, but repeated, serious mistakes on the corporate level), they lose me. I'm small, but there are others like me. | |

| Oct 28, 2019 at 18:22 | comment | added | darij grinberg | @xLeitix: The question is broad and vague even if it sounds precise. What kind of curriculum? Major or minor? Intended for what careers? (These are important questions; e.g. the answer by deags silently presumes that the students will go into big data, or at least that the part of the student population that does not is negligible.) | |

| Oct 28, 2019 at 13:30 | comment | added | xLeitix | I don't get the downvotes on this. OP clearly asks for a "curriculum" point of view, which is highly relevant and absolutely non-trivial. | |
| Oct 28, 2019 at 2:27 | comment | added | jvriesem | @DmitrySavostyanov: Alas, I have attended several workshops and have read a few articles, but haven't really delved into the literature about inclusivity in the classroom. From these workshops, I am quite comfortable being inclusive in the classroom (lectures, interactions, etc.) -- but I'm looking for ways to have that reach to homework, projects, and so on -- and specifically for computer science as far as possible. | |
| Oct 28, 2019 at 2:23 | comment | added | Dmitry Savostyanov | Have you read the existing literature on inclusivity in a classroom? Which ideas can be applied in the computer science lab as well? | |
