the support of peers and be held accountable for continuing your work. Over five meetings
we will set goals and deadlines, share ideas, and support each other in our SoTL projects.
You will leave with a SoTL project or progress report to present at the CTE Spring
Symposium and elsewhere and a network of peers at CCRI who are interested in SoTL.

Disaggregated Data Requests
In February 2022, I (Rachel) was able to see my course data for General Psychology
(a course I have taught many times here at CCRI) disaggregated by race and ethnicity.
The results were surprising and difficult for me to face. Despite that, I’m very glad that I did it, and I’m looking forward to trying some
new strategies in my courses to try to close the equity gaps I found.
If you’d like to check out your own course data, request a meeting to get started.
This is a confidential process and is for your professional development only. Results
are not shared with chairs, deans, or the VPAA.
