The "Equity-Focused Teaching" page on the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) website discusses the importance of shifting from inclusion-focused to equity-focused teaching. This approach is centered on acknowledging and disrupting systemic inequities in education. Equity-focused teaching aims to provide students with equal access to learning, value their contributions, ensure parity in positive outcomes, and encourage shared responsibility for equitable engagement. The site details the definition, goals, and implementation strategies for this teaching method, and offers resources and training opportunities for educators interested in adopting equity-focused approaches in their teaching practices.
Inclusive teaching strategies refer to any number of teaching approaches that address the needs of students with a variety of backgrounds, learning modalities, and abilities. These strategies contribute to an overall inclusive learning environment in which all students are valued and able to succeed. Inclusive strategies aim to promote self-reflection and action for change.
The ACUE Toolkits webpage offers resources for effective faculty instruction, focusing on online teaching and inclusive teaching practices. These toolkits provide educators with downloadable resources, tips, and strategies for creating engaging and equitable online learning environments.
