for every student, faculty member,
approach that empowers

socially, emotionally, and
fairness or the idea of sameness.
Rather, it is much more complex,
politically by using

List words/phrases that describe our students from a deficit-mindset

Poster #2: The Re-imagined Student

List words/phrases that describe our students when viewed and re-imagined

BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!

Questions to Consider
Think about the importance of culture and
language. How can we bring this awareness into
our daily campus interactions?
How can we bring cultural competence and
equity-mindedness into our daily practice to
transform instruction, services, and our campus
cultures?

Equity Community of Practice Goals

IDENTIFY successful equity-minded policies and practices implemented to address disparate
impact, close achievement gaps, and support student success
PROVIDE professionals with training, tools and resources for developing an equity framework
to ensure equity principles are embedded throughout policies, procedures, strategic planning
initiatives, and all aspects of the college.
PRACTICE consistent dialogue, information sharing, and collaborative activities to increase
awareness, demonstrate the valuing of culture and diversity, encourage self-assessment, and
promote inclusion for building equity-minded institutions.
SUPPORT educators to integrate principles of cultural humility, culturally responsive teaching
and learning (CRTL), and other high-impact practices for instruction (face-2-face and online)
and student services to facilitate engagement, increase retention, and promote student
success.

Success breeds capacity

Purpose
Make it fun and

school

Set intermediate goals

Learning as Connectivity
To learn is to practice and
reflect
Capacity to know more is more
critical than what is known
Connections, not content, are
the beginning point of the
learning process
Learning is a network forming
process

Ideas from the field Part I: Etienne Wenger,

Communities of Practice

Reification and Participation as a binary in learning:

Participation combines doing, talking, thinking, feeling
and belonging. It involves our whole person, including our
bodies, minds, emotions, and social relations (56)
Reification: Any community of practice produces
abstractions, tools, symbols, stories, terms, and concepts
that reify something of that practice in a congealed form
(59).

A/lad/in/sane

Appreciation
The truth is of
course that there
is no journey. We
are arriving and
departing all at
the same time.

3CSN Golden Line from

Wenger
Social learning is enhanced by a dynamic
interplay of both community and network
processes. Such interplay combines
focus and fluidity as it braids individual
and collective learning. The work of
fostering learning needs to take
advantage of this complementarity
(Wenger 13).

Purpose of a Change Narrative

Defines purpose, direction, and goals for

Creates ownership and allies among other

What is a Change Narrative?

A story that frames how or why we want to

change our environment

Questions to Consider
Think about how the narratives were
framed in the breakouts you heard today:
How does this help you think about how
you will frame your narrative?
You will build one later today, so get ready!

Communities and Networks

Network
Relationships, interactions, connections
Info flows, knowledge, creation, joint
problem-solving
Community
Shared identity around a topic
Collective intention to steward knowledge
and sustain learning

Communities of Practice

Make room for recursivity

Create safety, connectedness for risktaking
Make room for growth
Shame resilience
Help us work productively with expertise

Communities and Networks

Where in the breakout narratives do you see
evidence of network and community
structures for learning?
Where in your professional learning pathway
do you see evidence of network and
community structures for learning?

Communities and Networks

Did you build in communities and
networking into your PL for SSI Golden
Circle?
If you didnt, how can you include them?
If you did:
articulate how your community networks support
the PL necessary for your SSI?
Can you deepen or enhance them?

Who Mapping
Consider the ways in which your participation in
networks and communities can support you as
you work on your SSI and the PL needed to
support it.

3CSN Theory of Change

If we provide training on networking and
we use action research methodologies,
community college professionals will
transform their environments and identities
to create communities of practice that will
produce powerful learning and working
across campuses. This will lead to greater
student success.

efforts to make this change?
3. Why is this professional learning critical for that
change?
