HEA works with individual academic staff, discipline groups and senior managers in institutions to identify and share effective teaching practices in order to provide the best possible learning experience for all students.

Embedding Equality and Diversity in the Curriculum is a three-year programme of work which focuses on equality and diversity in the curriculum in Scotland. It is led by the Higher Education Academy in partnership with Scotland’s Colleges and the Equality Practitioners Network.

The programme works with institutions in both the higher education and college sectors to further embed equality and diversity within curriculum design, delivery and assessment. It builds on the diversity of experience and current practice in Scotland to further the development of inclusive institutional cultures which promote the success of all students.

The programme offers a wide variety of activities and resources to those involved in learning and teaching at institutional, departmental and individual levels.
