PHASE 02
Implementation & Data Collection
Once a program or department revises its curriculum to include DEI learning outcomes, implementation typically occurs in the following semester or academic year. Faculty will submit new assignment details and implementation plans as part of phase 1 deliverables. The IETC team will then engage with programs/departments to address implementation concerns and offer support tools like a tracking table and the Practical Measures toolkit for continuous improvement. Feedback will be gathered using student surveys and other practical measures to inform and guide the next steps in Phase 3.
Step 01
Implementation
Once a program or department revises the curriculum (outline, assignments) to incorporate the DEI learning outcomes, it is very likely that the revised curriculum will not be implemented until the following semester or academic year.
For any courses that you created an assignment (assessment), you will be asked to submit the assignment and information on when the assignment will be implemented (course, section, term) as part of the phase 1 deliverable.
The IETC team will contact programs/departments with completed/revised curricula the following semester or subsequent academic year to discuss implementation questions, concerns, and plans. Programs/departments can use a tracking table tool to specify which parts of the curriculum will be implemented, by whom, and in which course section(s).
Step 02
Feedback & Data Collection
Programs will have flexibility in determining the methods of feedback and data collection used. The IETC has developed sample DEI-related student survey feedback forms and questions that can be used to elicit student feedback and experience with the revisions to inform the next steps.

Practical Measures
Faculty will be encouraged to use the Practical Measures toolkit, which aids in developing practical measurement instruments for continuous improvement. The toolkit helps collect data to measure the implementation of changes and intended outcomes, guiding future actions. It includes tools like short surveys, checklists, rubrics, exit tickets, and quizzes to assess instruction and student learning.
Step 03
Enhanced Insight into Student Experience
If helpful, the IETC team will facilitate obtaining requested course data as one tool to monitor changes in student experience and success based on curriculum revisions.
This individualized step may provide the opportunity to identify other qualitative and quantitative data to inform the Phase 3 experience.
