About

The Faculty Cultural Curriculum Teaching Institute (FCCTI) is an expanded opportunity for instructional faculty to address the completion and retention rates of disproportionately impacted students in their classes by interpreting data and using culturally responsive practices to enhance their classroom pedagogy and materials.

The Faculty Cultural Curriculum Teaching Institute (FCCTI) grant proposal arose from the newly proposed Regulatory Action Amending Title 5, of the California Code of Regulations, to include DEIAA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism) in the evaluation and tenure review processes for District employees: § 53602

Outcomes

The expected outcomes of the Faculty Cultural Curriculum Teaching Institute will include: 

  1. Sustained access and training of course-specific, disaggregated demographic data through the use of student data dashboards.
  2. Culturally responsive pedagogical training for faculty to apply to their class syllabi, assessments, and activities. 
  3. Access to resources that support faculty with strategies for continued self-reflection and revision of curriculum in their courses.
  4. Implementation of disaggregated student data and DEIAA (diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and anti-racism) responsiveness into the faculty evaluation process.
