With support from the Office of Community College Research and Leadership’s Pathways Collaborative Equity Partners Fund, the Community College Research Center has developed two tools to help colleges identify equity gaps at the program level and reflect on current policies and practices that may be contributing to inequitable outcomes, with the goal of helping change them. This webinar will discuss the design, purpose, and utility of both tools.
The first tool is a data template and guide to help colleges examine representation of historically marginalized groups in programs leading to relatively more opportunity after graduation. The second tool is designed to help colleges use insights garnered through the data tool to interrogate current practices and policies and how they may contribute to inequities, with the goal of designing new practices that lead to more equitable access, progress, and success.
