EiPLC Scope and Sequence

This document is designed as a curricular overview of the AISP Equity in Practice Learning Community. Each site is working for data equity in different ways, yet there are broad categories of the work that we think are important to consider when working to center equity throughout the data life cycle. We do not expect this document to be used as a linear guide or a checklist for completion. Our goal is to support an iterative approach, where the components build upon and strengthen one another.

The EiPLC is a 30-month cohort-based learning community. All EiPLC Sites are selected through a competitive RFA process and are also invited to become members of the AISP Network.

Cohort 1: June 2022–December 2024

Cohort 2: June 2023–December 2025

This curriculum overview can also be referred to as a scope and sequence. The scope refers to the broad areas addressed by the curriculum—planning, data collection, data access, use of algorithms and statistical tools, analysis, and reporting & dissemination. Planning includes subcomponents that align with the GARE approach—visualize, normalize, organize, and operationalize. All other parts of the data life cycle include subcomponents that align with the AISP Quality Framework—governance, legal, technology, capacity, and impact. The sequence includes:

Essential questions—designed to encourage further questioning about big ideas. They’re intended to spark inquiry rather than lead to conclusions.

Learning activities—what the sites will be doing and focusing on as they work to incorporate equity across the data life cycle, and

Learning outcomes—describe what the site team will be able to do as a result of thinking through the big ideas and activities. Ideally, these are measurable, and often include a tangible outcome such as a list of principles or an updated process.
