What is the Cultural Curriculum Audit?

The Cultural Curriculum Audit is a three day intensive workshop for faculty. The goal of the audit is to redesign a course (individually or as part of a team) with a focus on increasing equity and student success. The audit includes presentations on a variety of topics as well as time to collaborate with discipline partners and small groups of faculty across disciplines. Because of the three-day time commitment this is a stipended workshop that generally occurs outside of the semester during the summer and winter intersessions.

The Cultural Curriculum Audit is now available completely online with an emphasis on online teaching! The online CCA provides a combination of synchronous and asynchronous components over the course of three weeks. Auditors meet once a week on zoom for presentations and to discuss the highlights and challenges of each week's material.

Key topics include:

Understanding Success and Equity Data
Principles of Student Equity
Thinking About Identity
Implicit Bias
Redesigning the Syllabus
Creating a Welcoming Canvas Homepage
Modifying a Course Outline of Record
Redesigning Course Content
Creating and Inclusive and Empowering Zoom Classroom
101 Active Learning Strategies
Making Assignments More Transparent
