The educational landscape is currently experiencing a growth in the diversity of the student population. Concomitantly, the scientific community continues to work toward increasing the diversity of its workforce while ensuring equity and inclusion for all. However, there is a pressing need for educators to promote these values and aspirations and embed them into their classrooms to continue to increase the diversity of the next generation of scientists. To explore this very topic, we developed and co-chaired a symposium at the 2022 Experimental Biology meeting entitled "Innovative Techniques for Developing an Inclusive Teaching Environment." This paper will share the philosophies, approaches, findings, and suggestions from the symposium speakers and will provide recommendations for educators to consider when designing new courses or evaluating and revising current courses.
当前，教育领域的学生群体呈现出多样化的发展趋势。与此相应，科学界也在不断努力，以增加其劳动力的多样性，同时确保所有人都能享有公平和平等的机会。然而，教育工作者迫切需要宣传这些价值观和愿望，并将其融入课堂，以继续增加下一代科学家的多样性。为了探讨这一主题，我们在 2022 年实验生物学会议上组织并共同主持了一个题为“创新技术以营造包容的教学环境”的研讨会。本文将分享研讨会演讲者的理念、方法、发现和建议，并为教育工作者在设计新课程或评估和修改现有课程时提供一些参考。
