Your Learning Roadmap

Course Outcomes

1. Applying DEI Theory, students will evaluate selected organization's programming, website, and other forms of digital media for exclusive and inclusive language, ADA accommodation, and representation. 

2. Using the results from their pre-selected Implicit Bias Test, students will discuss the potential DEI implications (and prevention strategies) through the power and privilege lens. 

3. Learners will put DEI Theory into practice by participating in two highly- complex, instructor-led case scenarios framed around varying levels and types of inequity. 

4. Using the Meyers DEI Spectrum Tool, students will use DEI Theory to conduct a high-level DEI needs assessment and how to analyze the results against current DEI policies and processes.
