Global Engagement Insights

Inclusive Teaching for International Students

Terra Dotta Season 1 Episode 5

Moving to another country for education comes with many challenges, including language and cultural barriers. But, even when one is fluent in English, as in this case, our guest Jean Choy says that the cultural shock is no joke. Given the success depends on students' success, it's of the utmost importance for institutions to eliminate bias and help students from different backgrounds assimilate at an appropriate pace. 

Jean Choy is the associate dean of Executive Education, Global EMBA & International Initiatives at the University of Washington, Foster School of Business. In today's episode of Global Engagement Insights, Jean and host Ron Carson discuss how to work with students from different backgrounds, the importance of acknowledging and eliminating bias, and the difference between an excellent researcher and teacher and how to be both. Finally, Jean discusses inclusive learning and how to practice it.
