AB 705 Recoding Project for MATH/ Quantitative Reasoning and English/Reading/ ESL Is your college being funded correctly? Accountability reporting for many recent system changes, including AB 705, the Student Centered Funding formula, and the Adult Education Program are based upon codes that have changed as a result of Guided Pathways.

Join this webinar to find out how a Guided Pathways institution can make these data changes and use the process to clarify pathways. Noon – 1:00 PM March 27, 2019 Randy

Student Equity and Achievement Plans and Guided Pathways A crucial goal of the Guided Pathways movement is the closing of equity gaps for traditionally marginalized students. The new requirements of the Student Equity and Achievement plans are intrinsically linked to guided pathways reform efforts and they should be regarded as partners in equity. Join this webinar to learn how various elements of guided pathways support your SEA plans and your equity goals. Noon – 1:00 PM March 20, 2019 Randy

Who Do We Mean When We Say Equity Gap? Pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 78221, these are focal equity groups. Equity groups populated in NOVA must be disaggregated by gender. •Current and former foster care students •Students with disabilities •Veteran students •Low income students •Homeless students •LGBTQIA students •American Indian or Alaskan Native •Asian •Black or African American •Hispanic or Latino •Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander •White •Multi-racial •Some other race Jessica WE MEAN ALL STUDENTS MUST BE SUPPORTED TO SUCCEED AND COMPLETE THEIR GOALS!

Equity and Community Colleges Community Colleges enroll disproportionate numbers of students of color and low- income students* Closing equity gaps is one of several goals of the CCCCO Vision for Success Jessica *https://postsecondaryreadiness.org/developmental- education-faqs

The Importance of Disaggregating Data Considerations Advantages Generates small sample sets Facilitates college dialogue on issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and other important identifiers Use data to tell the story of students Use data to educate campus community about the college population as a whole Use campus experts who understand the data and the equity groups Student privacy issues Challenges college culture to engage issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and other important identifiers Professional development opportunities around issues of bias, diversity, and equity Don’t get lost in the data--the data is not the story Consider the “data coach” model for engaging data Randy

Invisible Pathways and Invasive Outreach Pillar 1 focuses on community colleges’ clarifying, developing, and mapping clearer pathways for students to enter employment and further their education. What if students want to go to college, but the outreach connection is not made in high school or the community? What if the pathway is invisible and the student is invisible? Non-traditional outreach strategies Agency and organization partnerships and collaborations More comprehensive counseling case management sensitive matters consider stigmas or privacy Jessica – nontraditional support for our populations and need for EARLY Intentional and continuity in outreach Disproportionately impacted groups do not always seek out education and non- traditional outreach strategies must be developed Collaborations and partnerships with agencies, organizations, and atypical groups for seamless transition and continuity may be necessary for sucessfull onboarding. Pathways may need to be explained in much more in depth, high-touch environments for some populations for sensitive issues

Packaging Support with the End in Mind Identifying students during onboarding Thoroughly evaluating their needs Bundling services and supports that will carry them through Semester Equity= completion without D, F or dropping with W First Year Equity= semester-to-semester persisting in first year Year-to-Year Equity= persisting from spring through summer to fall Closing Equity Gap= completion of educational or career goal Jessica – packaging support with the end in mind and intervention and student support services. A goal to get ahead and have a holistic perspective to bundle support. The idea is that students don’t get lost in transition between semesters.

Important Issues to Consider: Equity-Mindedness Academic Equity-mindedness Disconnected courses Unclear program requirements Lengthy developmental education sequences Basic Skills Challenges Need more time on campus for success (services) Socio-cultural Equity-mindedness High rate of first generation Navigating hierarchy of institution Isolation Deficit-minded messages (internal and external) Jessica and Jeffrey

Important Issues to Consider: Equity-Mindedness Economic Equity-mindedness Facing unaffordable housing and homelessness Hunger and food insecurity Challenges of working and qualifying for special programs Choosing college over the pressure to work full-time Institutional Equity-mindedness Counseling and advising difficult to access Difficult navigating institutional processes Inflexibility of programs, requirements, etc. Lack of customized support Jessica and Jeffrey

Independence VS. Student Support While many students would like support and are happy to find out about services, some see visible student services support as a mark of difference or deviance from their peers. Integrating all aspects of equity-mindedness Invisible Disabilities Homelessness Food Insecurity Foster Youth Ward of the court Vet suffering with PTSD LGBTQIA student who is not “Out” Jessica

Who’s Getting Equity and Guided Pathways Training? Classified Staff? Faculty? Students? Special Committee members? Guided Pathways cannot be successful if everyone is not included. Bias does not discriminate and Equity is everyone’s job Equity has to be more than a word we use and more than a funding stream we want Equity has to be HOW WE DO OUR WORK-inclusive of everyone Equity has to be WHY WE DO OUR WORK-so that every student succeeds Professional Development for administrators, faculty, certificated, classified, and personal development for students Jessica

Teaching and Learning Communities One way to think about integrating Student Equity and Guided Pathways is to develop Student Learning Communities (SLCs) and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Students learning with their peers and instructors going through continuous professional development with their peers. Integrating personal and professional development Classified and counseling faculty support built into instructional programs and pathways Students, instructional faculty, and student support staff engage each other in multiple environments for campus climate shift Jessica
