How would you describe your current level of inclusivity in your teaching practices? *

I’m just starting to incorporate inclusive strategies into my courses

I’m actively implementing inclusive teaching strategies and would like to refine my approach

I’m already applying inclusive teaching methods and would like to enhance them further

How important is it for you to get these challenges solved?

Very important- This is a priority for me

Important when it crosses my mind- I’d like to improve but haven't prioritized it yet

Not really important- I’m okay with things as they are

If you were given a proven strategy to solve these challenges in your classroom or teaching practices, how valuable would that be to you?
*

Priceless – This would make a huge difference in my teaching

Somewhat valuable- I’d appreciate it, but unsure how much impact it would have

Not valuable at all- I don’t see the need to change

Are you ready to commit your time, energy, and resources to receiving the support you need to create the results you desire in your classroom?

I have the time, energy, and resources to invest today!

I need to make some shifts but can access the resources needed

I don’t know how I would find the time, energy, or financial resources right now

Is there anything else you’d like me to know about your teaching experience or goals? *
