Integrating Prerequisite Concepts into the Current Course to Increase Equity & Inclusivity 

In many courses, disparate prerequisite knowledge levels pose challenges and hinder inclusivity and equity. Offering dedicated prerequisite courses may not be feasible due to various factors (delayed graduation…). Then how can we ensure students possess equitable preparation for their current courses? For example, how do we equip student with “equity of precalculus skills” to learn Calculus? By taking Calculus course for example, this presentation talks about strategies incorporating prerequisite concepts that are accessible to all directly into the curriculum, to foster a more inclusive learning environment, bridge knowledge gaps and promote student success.
