Strand
Faculty, Classified Professionals, and Administrators strive to foster an atmosphere of inclusivity and accessibility where individuals feel understood, valued, supported, and connected to the campus community. Acknowledging the unique backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and aspirations of our college community can develop more inclusive and equitable approaches. Let’s humanize together!
We welcome equity-minded workshops that cover key topics such as cultivating empathy, personalized learning, community building, communication, and accessibility. How are you centering the student experience in your work at the college? Share your and/or your department’s practices and tools to inform how we can further connect and support our students. These workshops will aim to provide practical insights and strategies for faculty, classified professionals, and administrators to create equitable, inclusive, and student-centered environments.
One Flex strand was identified to support these efforts, which is important for the success of the College in meeting the needs of our students by assisting in further enhancing student achievement and providing additional innovation opportunities for all. It is a goal of CCSF’s Education Master Plan (EMP), which serves as the College’s long-range strategic blueprint for all institutional planning and program development from 2018-2025.
INSTITUTIONALIZE EQUITY (IE): Institutionalizing equity requires intentional adoption of evidence-based, equity advancing policies and practices to provide support and resources to disproportionately impacted student and employee groups. Please reference the definitions here.
Consider how to address diversity, inclusivity, equity, and belonging in the following areas:
-
Promote culturally responsive communication
-
Improve accessibility
-
Gender and race-conscious evaluation
-
Design of institutional practices and systems, critical self-reflection, culturally relevant and inclusive pedagogy
-
Diversification of recruitment, retention, and hiring practices
