The Peralta Equity Rubric is a research-based course (re)design evaluation instrument to help teachers make online course experiences more equitable for all students. The rubric’s criteria include: addressing students’ access to technology and different types of support (both academic and non-academic); increasing the visibility of the instructor’s commitment to inclusion; addressing common forms of bias (e.g., image and representation bias, interaction bias); helping students make connections (e.g., between course topics and their lives; with the other students); and following universal design for learning principles.

In this article from The Chronicle of Higher Education, Beth McMurturie shares advice from experts on how to discuss race and racism in the classroom this fall and points you to some articles and other resources on teaching about racism.

The Social Change Wheel 2.0 Toolkit from Campus Compact Minnesota includes updated visuals, definitions, and planning resources with the goal of helping their network think creatively about how to sustain partnerships and expand community-engaged learning. The Social Change Wheel centers on anti-racism, equity, and co-creation, and has two rings: the outer ring focuses on ways to make social change broadly, and the inner ring focuses on the variety of campus-based strategies. This new design showcases a variety of possible alignments from center to campus-based strategies to ways to work toward broader social change, which they hope will activate your imagination and help to bring new perspectives and ideas to the table. 

To support instructors in creating inclusive learning environments, Association of College and University Educators is offering a set of free resources, including 10 inclusive teaching practices that can be immediately put to use to benefit both faculty and their students.
