Equity Action Plan
The classroom Equity Action Plan was born out of a collaborative effort across different offices on campus and will be supported and maintained by representatives from the Office of the Provost, the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI), Instructional Design, Engagement and Support (IDEAS), the Office of Academic Planning and Assessment (OAPA), University Analytics an Institutional Research (UAIR), and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). An interactive TEAMS channel has been created to provide you with the resources necessary to plan and execute these equity actions as well as to provide you with a community of practice and collaboration. The Equity Action instructional resources, including teaching examples and strategies, developed by CTL are included below and may also be found on the TEAMs site.
