About Us – Equitable Teaching

We are a small group of faculty and staff who are committed to supporting instructors in creating inclusive and equitable classrooms at the University of Michigan. We hope to address these needs by providing best teaching practices and activities in addition to expanding instructors’ knowledge. We are supported by U-M through the LSA Curriculum Office.

The Equitable Teaching Website team is a group of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to curating and developing resources that support instructors in creating inclusive and equitable learning environments. We offer a variety of activities and tools designed to help instructors address diverse needs and promote student success.

A visual representation of the Equitable Teaching at U-M Website. This website came to be due to student activism in fall of 2013 and the University's launching of DEI 1.0 in Fall of 2016, which was a five-year DEI strategic plan to promote an inclusive and equitable campus environment. First named The Inclusive Teaching Website, this website was created to aid faculty with creating inclusive classroom spaces. In 2021, the University of Michigan reassesed DEI 1.0 and created DEI 2.0 as a way to transition to actualizing education equity in classrooms; thus, rebranding the Inclusive teaching website to the equitable teaching website. The DEI 2.0 initative concluded in 2025.
