Curriculum Appraisal Tool:

Faculty are encouraged to use the DRIVE Curriculum Appraisal Tool as a guide to reducing bias in lectures and learning materials.

One-Slide Summary Recommendations:

This One-Slide offers high yield strategies and resources to support presenters as you mitigate bias and enhance inclusion in teaching and materials. It is based on the DRIVE Curriculum Appraisal Tool and workshop and includes links to our website with additional resources.

Institutional Partners:

The Library Guide, managed by our colleagues in the Lamar Soutter Library, is designed to support the primary goals of the DRIVE Initiative:

• To promote a representative and bias-free curriculum across our learning environments 
• To enhance the accuracy, representation, and inclusion of diverse populations in all our educational activities 
• To make space for critical conversations about diversity in teaching and learning across our community.

The Diversity and Inclusion Office (DIO) is the primary vehicle for guiding the diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts of the academic health sciences center.
