The focus for our discussion:
We鈥檒l be chatting about how to use a racial equity lens in coaching for college reform along with how to talk about racial equity in coaching colleges.
One of our partners,聽Jobs for the Future (JFF) has recently posted CCRI鈥檚 briefs, tools and resource recommendations created on their . JFF’s publication of this treasure trove of materials is timely as they emphasize the critical role of racial equity in reforming community college education. These resources are directed at coaches who work with community colleges to implement guided pathways and reduce disparities in student success among racial groups, but they have valuable insights for any community college reformer.
Given recent unrest due to COVID-19 and police violence, constructive dialogue is more critical than ever to support a race-conscious approach to achieving more equitable outcomes for America’s Black and Brown students, and these tools provide guidance to accomplish this critical goal.
To prepare for the Twitter chat, here are the materials we invite you to read. Our team has published the resources listed below. Closer to the chat, we will also be publishing a blog with Community College Research Center (CCRC) focusing on these two briefs that weave together coaching, guided pathways and equity, and we鈥檒l link to it in our Twitter feed, LinkedIn and website.聽
