Equity and Inclusion Assessment Project Guide Example Plans

Example 1
You want to ensure your curriculum reflects the diversity of the field, for example. Conduct a review of course syllabi, especially readings and objectives, to take stock of where you are, and identify goals for improvement.

Example 2
Your unit wants to adopt a new program objective related to the skills of equity and inclusion as essential to the discipline.

Example 3
Your unit wants to better define and develop their efficacy in implementing inclusive teaching practices. Engage faculty in talking about what inclusive teaching means in their context. Create a plan to further develop inclusive teaching practices in the department. This work could also inform unit-level modifications to departmental teaching evaluation criteria.

Example 4
The cost of textbooks and course materials is too high for many students. Your unit wants to identify the exact cost for students in your major and cut the cost by 50%.

Example 5
You already have a mechanism for collecting assessment data, but you haven’t disaggregated data. Make a plan to disaggregate student data to identify possible disparities in outcomes or opportunities for different groups of students.
