Syllabus Review Guide

Resource Description

“A syllabus is a powerful tool for course planning and development. Conducting a syllabus review provides instructors with a framework for creating a course that promotes equity in students’ experiences and outcomes in its structure and content throughout the term. By ensuring that the messages, policies, and practices included in course syllabi communicate a growth mindset about student potential, and promote a sense of belonging, course instructors have a powerful opportunity to support student achievement, foster well-being, and contribute to equity in education.” This resource is a guide to help instructors evaluate their course syllabus and identify changes that promote equity in student experiences and outcomes.
