Equity Learning Communities

“The genius of this book is that Reinholz is an exemplar of excellent teaching. He provides numerous examples of how to teach with love and understanding. Every math instructor should study this book and put into practice his methods.”–Estela Mara Bensimon, University Professor Emerita and Dean’s Professor Emerita in Educational Equity, University of Southern California“College faculty are eager to create more inclusive classrooms, particularly for minoritized students, but often these change efforts focus on instructor mindsets or perspectives. This book, in contrast, centers equity transformation through actionable data that faculty collect and analyze in learning communities. Rich case studies of professors who have transformed their instruction provide a roadmap for anyone seeking to align their pedagogical practices with their equity commitments.”–Victoria Hand, associate professor of education in curriculum and instruction and program chair for STEM education, University of Colorado Boulder“Through vivid case studies, this volume offers a rare view of how instructional change works and why it is a pressing need in higher education today. With care and hope, Reinholz demonstrates how to scale up changes that make participation–a foundation of learning–truly available to all students.”–Cassandra Volpe Horii, associate vice provost for education, Stanford University, and coauthor of What Teaching Looks Like: Higher Education through Photographs
