The Diversity Inclusivity framework can be used as a rubric by faculty to self-assess the level at which they are incorporating diversity into their teaching. The framework evaluates how the different elements of a course are more or less inclusive of diversity. On the left is a list of nine elements that are key to course design and delivery. To the right of each element is a continuum that illustrates how the element can vary from not inclusive to fully inclusive.
