Please register today if you plan to attend and have not yet had the opportunity or time to sign-up, since our first announcement on February 17, 2022.

Introduction:

*       Welcome to the 2022 Spring Guided Pathways Student Success Institute agenda. We really had the opportunity to listen to your feedback from the 2021 Fall Guided Pathways Retreat and the 2022 Winter Guided Pathways Cohort Retreat. In these past retreats, we and the research recognize there is a correlation between student, faculty, and staff success. Also, the deep connection SB 5227 and 5194 for the Guided Pathways (HB2158) Essential Practices. Thus, we are focusing on ways we can support continued and new faculty and staff in their access, access + success, and their success. *This is an advanced facilitation to the SBCTC Equity Diversity and Inclusion office conversations that took place in March 2022.

Learning Outcomes:

*       Engage leaders from Washington's community and technical colleges in conversations to consider the question: What does racial equity in student success look like as a mirror to faculty and staff success in the areas of outreach, recruitment, campus learning communities, onboarding, retention, and promotion?

*       Consider the depth of equitable onboarding in the faculty and staff experience through an action planning experience

Location/Room: Virtual. A zoom link will be sent before the event and through the Canvas shell for participants.
Closed Captioning:

*       Live transcription will be available in main Zoom sessions.

*       We will have (American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters present for all sessions. Please let us know if you require an ASL Interpreter during the breakout room activity.

*       Please email amontenegro at sbctc.edu<mailto:amontenegro at sbctc.edu> around March 24, 2022, so we might provide the best possible opportunity to support collective and individual learning.
