Equity in Practice

Equity in Practice is professional development for all Seattle Central College employees. This program is designed to support Guided Pathways by developing knowledge and skill in three focus areas: 1) Foundations of Guided Pathways; 2) Equity in Teaching; and 3) Equity Across the College. A stipend is offered to faculty for completing the program. 

Equity in Practice is a Title III funded project and a Guided Pathways work group, including Julia Buchans, Carolina Forero, Dave Ellenwood, Lynn Kanne, Ves Mahanian, Tracy Cook, Ryan Youell, Wendy Rockhill. Team support from Seth Daphne Esmeson and Julie Randall.
