The Intercultural Development Inventory, or IDI, is a tool used to give a person an impression of his or her intercultural competence. Prior to this workshop participants will be asked to complete a 50-question online inventory. In the workshop they will learn about the theory that supports the IDI, and they will be presented with the group's results or 'IDI Profile'. They will also learn what the results indicate about the intercultural strengths they possess as well as the challenges they may face – and how to meet those challenges in a positive way.

After the session, each participant will have the opportunity to receive their personal profile electronically and to discuss it with the facilitator one-on-one.

Setting the ground for anti-racist practices in course design, this workshop is intended for instructors who are interested in expanding their knowledge and skills, but don’t know where to start. Thinking about what anti-racist and inclusive teaching can look like, participants will consider key pillars to creating change through learning outcomes, content, assessment, and classroom environments.

While this workshop will provide participants with core competencies to design new courses or re-envision current courses, we ask that you take the following module 30 min from the Human Rights and Equity Office.

Intercultural engagement such as group work has become more of a challenge in Queen’s classrooms with the continuous diversification of student populations on campus. On the contrary to the prevalent assumption that students interact automatically in the classroom despite of their diverse cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds, educators need to intentionally plan and support intercultural group work to enact meaningful and effective collaboration.
In this workshop, participants will explore the ‘intercultural collaboration for learning framework’ designed to promote engagement and collaborations in culturally diverse classrooms. They will work together to explore various instructional strategies and resources that help better navigate intercultural group work in their own practice.  

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to identify some (new) strategies and resources to enact meaningful collaborations amongst diverse student groups.

As culture and education are intrinsically intertwined, educators need to become aware of their own cultural orientations and positionality in teaching and learning to effectively respond to the needs and expectations of diverse students.

This workshop aims to help participants explore how their cultural orientations and positionality may shape their teaching beliefs and approaches, engender their interactions with students, and place impact on students’ learning experiences.

By the end of the workshop, participants will develop a better understanding of their own cultural orientations and positionality in teaching and learning in order to reinforce educational equity in their practices.
