Empowering Data Infrastructure for Culturally Relevant Education

Welcome! GP 2020-2021 Budget

Land Acknowledgement We acknowledge that we live and work on the ancestral lands of the Cowlitz and Lower Columbia Peoples. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We pay respects to the indigenous elders, past and present, as we respectfully consider the many legacies of violence, erasure, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together today. We also acknowledge that our nation has benefited and profited from the free enslaved labor of Black people. We honor the legacy of the African diaspora and Black life, and the knowledge, skills, and human spirit that persevere in spite of violence and White supremacy.

Culturally Relevant Curriculum Miles Jackson Culturally responsive teaching is using the cultural knowledge, prior experiences, frames of reference, and performance styles of ethnically diverse students to make learning encounters more relevant to and effective for them (Gay, 2010, p. 31). Goal: Integrate culturally relevant curriculum and teaching practices into high-demand transfer and CTE courses Outcome: Culturally relevant curriculum and teaching practices are embedded in high-demand courses in multiple departments; equity gaps in student outcomes are reduced Assessment: Evaluate the number of class sections in which the culturally relevant content and teaching practices are implemented and track impact on equity gaps in course outcomes Proposed cost estimates, stipends and benefits: Faculty mentors (8-10) $20,000 Department faculty teams (8-10) $55,000 Reference: Gay, G.

Open Educational Resources (OER) Dr. Michael Brown Plan Overview Marketing Outreach Create and OER webpage to increase awareness and application to inform faculty, staff, and students. Create a student success workshop through ASCC to inform students of OER and zero cost materials. Support Hire seasonal bookstore support staff to correctly code to ensure students can ID when OER materials are available. Hire OER accessibility specialist to review OER materials to ensure OER materials meet disability guidelines and are equitably accessible by all. Faculty/Staff Development Create a Faculty Showcase in collaboration with the Teaching and Learning Center to highlight early adopters. Faculty Development - OER Institute. Provide an in- house faculty development OER institute. Emphasis on pedagogy, not just open materials. Participants (faculty) will learn innovative ways to create and implement high- quality OER instructional materials. Successful training and development would focus on using OER/Zero-cost materials in tandem with: Culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogies Trauma-informed pedagogies, Open pedagogy, Asset pedagogies ; incorporating OER/ZTC materials with backwards design/pedagogical purpose. Upon completion of OER training, faculty who agree to convert one course to becoming zero textbook cost (ZTC) will receive a stipend. Outcome: Clark students will have access to more affordable education through less expenses in textbooks and materials.
