Blackboard's Fix Your Content Day

Year of Learning (with IEHROD)

For the 2026–27 academic year, CCRI invites faculty and staff to participate in the Year of Learning: a college-wide professional development experience designed to help us explore how our Guiding Principles shape the way we lead, collaborate, innovate, and support student success. 

Student success isn't owned by one department, one initiative, or one person. It is built through the everyday actions, decisions, and relationships of every employee across the college. Throughout the year, we'll learn from one another, gain new perspectives from higher education leaders, and discover practical ways to bring our Guiding Principles to life in our daily work.

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.
