Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Assessment Conversations

Register for the DEI Assessment Conversations

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Assessment Conversations are monthly virtual meetings, designed as an opportunity for AALHE members to discuss challenges and solutions to barriers to conducting equity-minded assessment. To provide a loose structure for the meeting, participants will be encouraged to review a resource on a topic related to equity and assessment prior to the meeting, and members of the AALHE President’s Committee on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will facilitate the meeting by asking questions and encouraging interaction. The goals of these conversations are to serve as an informal professional development opportunity for AALHE members and to help inform the DEI Committee about how AALHE can better support assessment professionals in their work. 

Structure

1. Conversation facilitator(s) will briefly summarize the reading and then facilitate discussion, centering on these five questions:

1. Which ideas in the text do you find most valuable for your work and why?

2. Where are you encountering challenges in carrying out the suggestions from this text? 

3. What solutions do you have/what good practices do you know for carrying out the suggestions from this text.

4. What resources might you need to carry out the suggestions?

5. What challenges/issues do you need guidance on that the text has not covered? We can use this to include more resources for future conversations.

2. Conversation facilitator(s) will prepare a brief summary of the ideas discussed in the meeting, including recommended resources, and will provide a link to the summary in the registration page schedule.
