Welcome to Equity and Excellence in Higher Education 2002 - 2005

Equity and Excellence in Higher Education focuses on building the capacity of faculty to utilize a Universal Design for Learning approach in their classrooms through training and Reflective Practice. Equity and Excellence in Higher Education is entering its fourth year of funding from the US Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education. In its first three years, four colleges in New Hampshire worked with the project to create an effective professional development strategy for faculty.

Equity and Excellence has engaged New Hampshire Community Technical College at Manchester, Plymouth State College, New Hampshire Technical Institute, the University of Massachusetts at Boston, Fitchburg State College, Quinsigamond Community College and the University of Southern Maine as model demonstration sites. Equity and Excellence in Higher Education is designed to compile and field test training materials at each of the model demonstration sites listed above, to refine those materials based on the feedback from the sites and then to publish a comprehensive faculty development program that supports faculty in their quest to create an effective curriculum for diverse learners.

Equity and Excellence is a project of The Institute on Disability (IOD) in collaboration with The Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI) and is funded by the United States Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education - Demonstration Projects to ensure Students with Disabilities Receive a Quality Higher Education.
