The RP Group’s EDI Resources
With our eye on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), The RP Group is committed to creating community resources to advance our mission and support institutional research, planning, and effectiveness (IRPE) practitioners and other educational professionals. With this goal in mind, we have developed and curated a collection of resources to help individuals and organizations incorporate equitable practices into their work and more broadly in their workplaces.
These robust materials include topic-based guides, tools, and position papers created by The RP Group as well as a curated digital library containing links to visual assets, handouts, and other useful materials. While some of our resources are specifically designed for the IRPE community, many are useful to a broader audience including professionals from educational institutions, nonprofits, and other organizations that share a commitment to EDI.
