Equity-Based Teaching in Higher Education: The Levers That Institutions Can Use for Scaling Improvement

In this report, the Equity-Based Teaching Collective describes what we mean by equity-based teaching (EBT)–an approach that can support the academic success of Black, Latine, Indigenous and Low-Income (BLILI) students across disciplines–and articulate an ecosystem approach of how different stakeholders can interact to produce equity-based teaching and outcomes for BLILI students. We identify policies, programs, and practices for EBT improvement for different actors in the ecosystem.

This report is funded by the Gates Foundation.
