我们描述了一种新型的教师工作组，部门行动小组（DAT），形成了一个更大的战略，对制定文化变革的一个组成部分，在高等教育。DATs授权一个部门内的教师团队在他们的部门进行重点，可持续的变化。DAT专注于部门发展，支持教师设计和实施结构，以解决共同利益和广泛的重要性，他们的部门（而不是试图“解决”问题本身）的教育问题。这与其他教师发展工作形成对比，如教师学习社区（FLC），通过对单独教育项目的反思，支持不同部门教师的个人发展。我们通过一组，专注于提高性别和种族平等的本科专业的案例研究的背景下DAT模型。
We describe a new type of faculty working group, a Departmental Action Team (DAT), that forms one component of a larger strategy towards enacting cultural change in higher education. DATs empower a team of faculty members within a single department to make focused, sustainable change in their department. DATs focus on departmental development, supporting faculty in designing and implementing structures to address an educational problem of mutual interest and broad-scale importance to their department (rather than trying to ”solve” the problem themselves). This contrasts other faculty development efforts like Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs), which support the individual development of faculty from different departments through reflection on separate education projects. We contextualize the DAT model through a case study of a group that is focused on improving gender and racial equity among their undergraduate majors.
