The Classified Professional Development Committee is making resources available to help classified professionals learn more about equity in education. Our Mt. SAC Leadership has united against racism and committed to doing our part to fight racism and promote equity. Take Action for Equity in Education by clicking this link to CORA training through Mt. SAC.
In the campus statement issued by Dr. Scroggins, we were reminded that, “It takes each and every person, working together, willing to speak, act, organize, and lend a hand. We must move forward with intentionality.” You can do this by engaging with your colleagues in meaningful discussions about how all Mt. SAC employees are called to create an equity-minded campus.
The classified Professional Development Committee would also like to invite you to join us this summer in participating in one of our two certificate-based modules:
Racial Microaggressions and Unconscious Bias offered in partnership with CORA (Dr. Frank Harris and Dr. Luke Wood). Visit the Mt. SAC Title V website: https://www.mtsac.edu/titlev/cora.html to sign up.
Racial Equity and Education Certificate Orientation provided by the California Community College Vision Resource Center. Visit the CCCVRC Website to sign up: https://cccpln.csod.com/samldefault.aspx?ouid=12&returnurl=%252fDeepLink%252fProcessRedirect.aspx%253fmodule%253dlodetails%2526lo%253d59c62663-a117-4ed2-9d98-06574891eb29
