See the Teaching Guide for help developing inclusive teaching practices
If students are to develop their talents, they need an inclusive learning environment where they feel at home and can share their experiences and opinions. Leiden University aims to create a healthy, engaged learning community that prepares students to work in a diverse work environment and tackle society’s challenges Our Teaching Guide supports teaching staff’s ambitions to foster students’ development at our university, regardless of their background.

About the Teaching Guide
The Teaching Guide meets the growing need among teaching staff for tips on providing inclusive teaching. It was carefully compiled by a group of experts from different faculties and expertise centres, and contains information and practical tips on creating inclusive teaching materials.
Teaching staff are encouraged to think about their teaching materials and style before, during and after their classes. Each section covers a specific topic with questions, tips and sources, arranged in order of lecture design and delivery. You can start wherever you want and work at your own pace. It is a journey, not a competition.
