As leaders of teaching and learning, the SBCTC eLearning Council (eLC) takes a stand against systemic racism embedded in teaching practices, institutional policies, and the use of educational technology in the Washington Community and Technical Colleges.

We commit to listening and learning about the role of racial and other inequities. As agents of empathy and change, we commit to actively leading the promotion of equitable teaching practices, policies, and technology implementation.

As our next step forward on the path to justice in education, we ask SBCTC and all WA community and technical colleges to commit to using specific criteria that remove barriers and demonstrate a commitment to anti-racist practices when procuring and implementing educational technology. We commit to developing criteria that ensure not just equitable access, but equitable use and impact of technology.
