Description:
The District Council on Antiracism - Curriculum Work Group engaged with a broad representation from all three campuses including the district around curriculum needs, assessment, program planning and ways to sustain and enhance practices. Come learn about the key themes gleaned from our inquiry. Engage in dialogue around next steps for getting involved in the work of racial equity in curriculum practices. During this workshop, we’ll introduce a framework (Long Beach City College’s Eight Equity Precepts) for looking inward to examine racial equity precepts to inform your practice. Let’s roll up our sleeves and foster communication, collaboration, and resource sharing within the District to leverage strengths.
You are invited to join us on opening day to learn more about our work and experience the advancement of antiracist curriculum.

SMCCD recognizes the continued high cost of textbooks as a barrier that impacts student success. Inability to afford textbooks and course materials is an equity issue and it can be addressed through Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) & Open Educational Resources (OER) adoption. As part of our College’s Redesign, the primary goal of Textbook Affordability Solutions is to reduce educational costs for students by providing free or low-cost learning materials that are available from day-one of their class and customizable to fit their learning needs. Participants will engage in a very informative and interactive opportunity to explore how your department/division can address textbook affordability for all students.
