Equity In Teaching
Brandeis’s distinctive leadership role in higher education requires that we apply the principles of access and social justice upon which Brandeis was founded in the present educational context.
Because equity gaps are more pronounced in an online educational environment [Gavassa et al. 2019, Howard et al. 2019, Verschelden 2017, Xu et al. 2014], members of our Brandeis teaching community can best provide a high-quality Brandeisian education by intentionally adopting evidence-based practices that reduce equity gaps in a partially or completely online educational context.
