Actionable Education Initiative
An educational portfolio for learners, staff and faculty that infuses principles and competencies to move from awareness of internal biases and external forces of marginalization and oppression into learning about their historical and psychological origins and effects and on to growing into equity allies who actively work for and prize diversity, equity and inclusion. The resources are available in four domains: health equity, implicit bias education, from bystander to upstander and history.
