This is a key resource for course development and syllabus creation. It is a must have document to support teaching and learning in alignment with program standards. This resource can be obtain through the American Occupational Therapy Association's website.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) should be embedded within course objectives, content, assignments, learning activities, and measures. Access the AOTA DEI Toolkit which includes learning modules and faculty case studies to provide professional development. Educators can access the NBCOT Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) Reflection Points for professional development to better prepare for the embedding of these concepts within course objectives, content, learning activities, assignments, and measures.

This framework is an integral part of teaching and learning. It is a representation of the learning and teaching trajectory. Visit Vanderbilt University’s Center for Teaching for a full guide to Bloom’s Taxonomy.
