*Raise Awareness of the Opportunity

==='''Using Inclusive Language to Increase Diversity in Innovation'''===

=== '''Using Inclusive Language to Increase Diversity in Innovation''' === '''-Primary Contact: [[AVITAL WULZ|Avital Wulz]]'''

#'''''Create a "Tip List" for ways to use inclusive language for organizations, companies, departments and individuals who hope to increase diversity within their programs, activities and/or courses'''''

##Evaluate the training and added standard by incorporating added questions related to cultural humility and inclusion to the Course Evaluations.

=== '''-Primary Contact: Avital Wulz''' === #'''''Create a "Tip List" for ways to use inclusive language for organizations, companies, departments and individuals who hope to increase diversity within their programs, activities and/or courses'''''##''''''''''Premise: Increasing diversity of ideas and perspective will increase innovation. While there are various I&E initiatives around University of Georgia, a major challenge for these programs and initiatives is how to increase the diversity within these activities. Often, the biggest barrier to attracting different people who may not see themselves as “innovators” is the use of language.##Distribute “Tip List” to three or four stakeholders and evaluate their implementation of the resource##Meet with stakeholders and individuals who utilize the “Tip List” to improve the quality and content of the resource on a quarterly basis.##Evaluate whether the “Tip List” has increased diversity among the various initiatives and program around UGA.~~##If successful and helpful, disseminate “Tip List” across campus.~~#'''''Add an “inclusivity and cultural humility” standard to UGA’s Online Learning standard requirements'''''##Premise: Currently, UGA’s Online Learning courses are required to meet eight general standards to be approved as an online course. While one of the standards includes “Accessibility and Usability,” there is no mention of ensuring inclusivity or cultural competence. Both inclusivity and cultural competence are essential ingredient to promote a classroom environment with diverse ideas and voices. Additionally, Online Learning is a way of increasing diversity by making courses more accessible for remote, working and non-traditional students.##Determine the current “general standards” and their respective components to better understand what is presently being used for Online Learning courses.##Collaborate with the Office of the VP for Instruction and other stakeholders in the Online Learning space to develop and implement the new standard.#'''''Develop and train staff and faculty teaching online courses on cultural humility and inclusivity'''''##Premise: If the “inclusivity and cultural humility” standard is added to the general standards required for Online Learning courses, it is imperative to train the instructors of these courses in these skills.##Collaborate with School of Social Work, students, and other departments who have experience in cultural competency and inclusivity trainings.~~##Develop training with interdisciplinary partners.~~##Pilot training with small focus-groups from various backgrounds, including student focus-groups.##Add the components of this training to previous trainings for online instructors or create a separate online and/or in-person version of the training.##Work with the Office of the VP for Instruction to require this training for all instructors of Online Learning.##Evaluate the training and added standard by incorporating added questions related to cultural humility and inclusion to the Course Evaluations. === '''- Primary Contact: [[Shalin Jyotishi|Shalin Jyotishi]]''' ===
