Faculty are increasingly called upon to engage in data-informed instruction, as well as to center equity in their pedagogical practices. There is a vast amount of student and course-level data available to faculty to better understand student learning and progress. However, knowing where to find appropriate data, how to interpret it, and how to act on it in meaningful ways that will support student success and create equitable learning environments can be both overwhelming and challenging. In this session, we learn from educational research leaders from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities and Digital Promise as they examine how faculty across the United States are prioritizing equity in their instructional and data practices, and empowering students to succeed.
