Details of the Equity Scholars Program Option 3:  Sign Up for an Equity Coach or Become a Coach

The CTTL has been awarded a $300,000 grant to expand the Equity Scholars Faculty Coaching program.  This program runs for 2 years, with the first faculty peer coach training completed in February 2024 and an upcoming Equity Coaches training program in Spring 2025 in Oakland.  

The purpose of the Equity Scholars Faculty Coaching program is to expand faculty peer coaching that supports culturally responsive teaching work both inside and outside of the classroom. Equity Scholars will provide in-depth one-on-one peer coaching to allow for critical reflection and enhancements to the daily work of our faculty colleagues. The goal of the program is to work with faculty to actively implement an equity lens when developing pedagogy and facilitating curricula.
