Join ASCCC Equity Diversity Action Committee to hear about how/why DEI is under attack nationwide and discuss how we can safeguard our California Community Colleges’ IDEAA work

Please join us to hear about these exciting equity centered professional development programs:

Are you a community college faculty member interested in participating as a Peer Review Team (PRT) member for the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC)? Join us for a panel discussion where former and current PRT members, including members of the ACCJC, will share their insights and strategies for serving on a PRT. Our panelists will discuss the role of a PRT member, the process of accreditation, and the benefits of participating in the peer review process. They will also provide practical advice on how to prepare for and conduct a successful peer review visit.

Trauma, loss, and grief impacts the lives of students and educators alike. From community violence at home to war abroad or the loss of a loved one or hard break up. Just like educators show up to work touched by a loss or heavy stress, so do our students. Additionally, the foundation of our country is rooted in historical trauma passed down from colonization and chattel slavery.

Students who enter our classrooms with mental health struggles or trauma often struggle with executive functioning, the part of the brain responsible for planning and learning. In this workshop, English instructor and Educational Therapist Amy Miles will share concrete teaching strategies and routines faculty can use to cultivate a caring, trusting classroom environment that strengthens students’ executive functioning skills and enables them to thrive in the classroom.

Join us for continued conversation about ways faculty and local academic senates can support efforts to destigmatize and decriminalize Academic Probation language, policies, and practices. This webinar will present some of the foundational work colleges can undertake to initiate changes to their systems and provide examples of how some colleges have begun this process. We will engage the audience in a discussion of how to change not only the language but also the underlying mindset of both students and practitioners related to the soon-to-be-renamed academic probation.

Join us for a conversation on the keys to accreditation success in the ever-evolving landscape of higher education in the first of two webinars focusing on the new 2024 ACCJC Standards. In this session, you'll gain invaluable insights into the latest standards set forth by the ACCJC, empowering your faculty leadership to participate in the accreditation process with confidence and precision.
