Equity through Teaching Resources
At the Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning, many of our resources and initiatives are based on our belief that UofL can transform into a more inclusive and equitable environment in which we close achievement gaps and where all students can learn and succeed. This table focuses on the resources offered by the Delphi Center or the Health Sciences (HSC) Office of Professional & Educational Development that directly support this mission. Some offerings are tools and resources you can access now, while others are programs or initiatives that require registration.
