State Equity Presentation

Emphasizes closing achievement gaps among the following student populations: African Ancestry, Latino, Filipino, EOPS, Foster Youth, Low-Income, Veterans, and students with disabilities.

Alignment with 3SP and requires collaboration between Student Services and Instructional areas.

Strong recommendation that where possible colleges integrate student equity planning into college and/or district accreditation, educational master planning, program review, and basic skills planning processes.

Implementation plans now due to State Chancellor’s Office January 1, 2015.

Comments/Suggestions:

  • All departments should be giving the same message to students.
  • We need to find out what is working and what is not in each area.
  • We are still working as individual units, not together as a group.
  • We need to take initiative to really discuss the requirements and how
    to go about implementing them.
  • A retreat should be set up to bring the groups together.
    • Bring an initiative to DARE for the retreat.

SSSP Team Coordinator

Mieso went over the coordination Objective and Goals of our SSSP Teams.

Objective: To provide a coordinated approach for the implementation of the 3SP in order to ensure efficient and effective delivery of mandated services: Assessment, Orientation, Ed Plan, Counseling/Advising, and Follow-Up.

Mieso will be meeting with teams individually to find gaps, any duplication, and the positives.
