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.

10. 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 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 *https://postsecondaryreadiness.org/developmental-education-faqs

12. The Importance of Disaggregating Data Advantages Considerations • 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

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

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

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)

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

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”

18. SEAP Development How does your college reach hidden students, who are suffering in silence before they end up on academic probation? Please place your responses in the chat

23. Student Comments about Transfer

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

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

31. Integrating Students into Pedagogy

32. SEA Planning • Currently waiting for more clarity on expectations and data • For now align your plans
