I-C: Practical politics of making excellence inclusive

Jose Moreno (California State University-Long Beach)

Sem II-B 2107

This session will explore the practical politics of Making Excellence Inclusive and how they can be shaped to further the goals of authentic and sustainable change within the principles of Equity-mindedness. In particular we will explore data-guided methods to critically examine general education reform and development in the context of student success and inclusive excellence. Through a case study approach utilizing data guided analyses, participants will further their understanding and skill of how multiple forms of data mixed with a discourse of equity can either hinder, limit or expand the possibilities for authentic and sustainable General Education work and reform that works for all students.  Participants will engage in interactive, reflective and critical discussions that seek to support General Education teams with embedding equity-mindedness in the development of an analytic plan for engaging campus constituencies.
