3. 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. If these codes are not updated at your colleges, funding and success measures will be affected. 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

4. 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.

10. Who Do We Mean When We Say Equity Gap?
Pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section , 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!

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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.

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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”

29. 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

30. 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
