Co-Creating Equitable Teaching and Learning

Drawing on more than twenty years of experience developing student-teacher partnerships in higher education, Alison Cook-Sather demonstrates how pedagogical partnerships give students the tools to advocate for their own learning while giving educators the feedback they need to improve classroom experiences. Offering actionable guidance, she shows how the co-creative model helps to bring about inclusive spaces and equitable teaching practices that better foster student success, especially among underrepresented and minority student populations. This wise and generous work calls for readers to reimagine the higher education structure and to cultivate an environment in which all stakeholders can work together to advance inclusivity, accessibility, and equity. Alison Cook-Sather is Mary Katharine Woodworth Professor of Education and Director of the concentration in Peace, Conflict, and Social Justice Studies at Bryn Mawr College, as well as Director of the Teaching and Learning Institute at Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges.
