Equity-Focused Teaching Practices
At the Core: Inclusive Teaching
In any discipline or field, a key goal as well as challenge is supporting the learning of all students. Through programs, consultations, and resources, the Academy for Teaching Excellence supports teachers in creating learning environments where students of all identities and backgrounds can flourish. The resources on this page are intended to help faculty expand their toolkit for providing a learning environment and related activities in which all students can be successful.
Applying Equity Matrix (AEMy)
The Applying Equity Matrix is an interactive tool that allows instructors to review inclusive and equitable classroom practices in six categories: accessibility, belonging, engagement, flexibility, humanization, and transparency. Try out AEMy.
Enacting Equity Guidelines
The Enacting Equity Guidelines may be used to evaluate professional development programs and resources to better serve a diverse range of learners and reduce equity gaps in success outcomes. There are 20 prompts in four categories: Facilitator, Introductory information, Content, and Assessment & Evaluation. Each prompt is intended to encourage reflection on a program or resource. Contact our Academy’s own Inclusive Instructional Design Specialist Dr. Rob Hill to learn more about these guidelines.
Equity Teaching Academy
A series of Graduate Equivalency Courses called the Equity Teaching Academy was developed in partnership with faculty from Roosevelt and City Colleges and informed by research from faculty development programs throughout the country.
