Session Description:

Using weather conditions as a metaphor, we will address the question, “What constitutes successful scaling of equitable teaching practices?” Is it the number of faculty who complete a professional development program, or the tangible improvements in outcomes for minoritized students? And why does scaling the same approach vary so much across institutions? In this engaging presentation and panel discussion we will explore the varied success of scaling our humanized online teaching model across 17 CCC and CSU partner institutions. You’ll hear firsthand from colleagues at our partner colleges as they share their individualized campus forecasts.

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

• Hear insights from drivers of educational technology in diverse institutional roles who spearheaded humanized online teaching on their campus
• Evaluate the impact of an intersegmental project designed to scale humanizing, an equitable online teaching approach, across seventeen CCCs and CSUs;
• Consider conditions that positively and negatively influence the scaling of equity-focused teaching innovations
