Green Guide: Enhancing the learning experiences of students from equity backgrounds

This practical guide helps educators support students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds. It provides evidence-based strategies for engaging equity students across teaching, learning design, assessment, and support structures. Drawing on perspectives from students, staff, and experts, it serves as a starting point for equity-focused teaching.

The book is built on four principles: valuing diversity, embracing strengths-based approaches, removing structural barriers, and grounding interactions in relationships. While based in Sydney's educational context, the strategies apply to all university educators seeking practical steps to enhance equity student engagement and success.
