Goals, Objectives and Outcomes

Goals, objectives, and outcomes at this stage of the process are based on the following assumptions:

Equity and inclusion efforts will be institutionalized within the mainframe for CEHS. Subsequently, these efforts are not localized, but intended to extend across the entire social, political, and educational fabric of CEHS.
The goals, objectives, and outcomes will be based on the development of an equity and inclusion infrastructure for faculty, staff, and students.
The initial development of this infrastructure is designed to establish long term success over the next 3-5 years.

Goals

CEHS will build an infrastructure by which the following will be achieved:

Resources will be instituted for the development, advancement, and furthering of equity and inclusion policies, practices, programs, and initiatives across the College of Education and Human Sciences.
CEHS will foster strategic thinking and planning on equity and inclusion efforts via the collection of data through surveys, intergroup dialogues, focus groups, and one-on-one meetings across the College.
E&I strategic plan will be developed that will inform equity and inclusion efforts across CEHS.
Interdisciplinary learning environment will be established, by which different academic units work across and between their disciplines to generate equity-oriented scholarship/research, teaching and learning, and community engaged advocacy.
CEHS will foster a pedagogical environment of inclusivity to promote student engagement, development, and success.
