C Interactive Q&A with ACCESS 6-160
Presenter: Grace Hanson
Faculty are faced with a myriad of classroom issues, which can become challenges as well as opportunities to enrich the teaching-learning experience. One such opportunity is successfully engaging students with disabilities, medical conditions, and other "barriers" in the teaching and learning process.
Do you have a burning question about ACCESS services, instruction, and students? Attend the Q&A with ACCESS! In a moderated panel and highly interactive session, ACCESS professionals will be on hand to answer your questions about students, services, and issues.

E Safe Space Training – Affirming Practices for Supporting LGBTQIA+ Students 11-2402
Presenters: Melinda Bowen, Erin Pollard, Madison Stute
During this workshop, we will have a presentation by Erin Pollard, a Gender Affirming Therapist in private practice as well as an Adjunct Counselor at Irvine Valley College. This presentation will describe the difference between gender and sexuality and will teach respectful communication around gender and sexual diversity. In addition, Erin will delve deeper into the effects that our society can have upon our LGBTQ + youth in education as well as the mental health impacts of gender, sexuality, dysphoria, transitioning, and experiencing acceptance or rejection from family and friends. We will then introduce a teachers’ toolkit that prepares faculty to help the LBGTQ + community be safe and successful in the classroom. We finish up by sharing the resources available through the Pride Center for faculty and students.
F Developing a Cross-Campus Approach to Addressing Basic Needs Insecurities at Mt. SAC
61-2319
Presenters: Pauline Swartz, Koji Uesugi, Eric Lara
A growing body of literature reveals that many college students do not have access to affordable, nutritious food, stable housing, and other basic needs. The lack of access to food and housing goes beyond romanticized or nostalgic notions of couch surfing and eating instant ramen. These problems are serious, widespread, and impact student success and retention.
To address how hunger and other basic needs insecurities manifest themselves in our classrooms, centers, and throughout campus, we must recognize that these problems exist in all of these locations. We must also recognize that they permeate all aspects of students’ lives including their health, wellness, and academic performance. Bringing about transformative, sustainable, and effective networks of support requires that we work together and outside of our silos.
This presentation will summarize major findings from recent studies to provide the scope of basic needs insecurities among college students. We will discuss ways faculty and staff can recognize when students are experiencing basic needs insecurities and how to address them. Presenters will also share what the Homelessness and Basic Resources Committee and Student Equity projects have accomplished thus far and brainstorm ideas for ways the campus can address basic needs insecurities through cross-campus collaboration, communication, and individual actions taken in our daily work.
G Conversation with the President 61-2315
Presenters: Dr. William Scroggins
Changes in state and federal policies and funding continue at a rapid pace. This session will give participants the opportunity to hear how Mt. SAC is adapting to those changes and to answer questions on matters of concern and interest.

H Working with Foster Youth on Campus: Trauma Informed Care Best Practices 61-2320
Presenters: Jeze Lopez, Rigo Estrada
The purpose of this training is to offer faculty some best practices to follow when they have foster youth students that have been trauma impacted, in their classroom. Training will offer tips on how to better serve these students, improve the classroom environment to make it more welcoming for those students and how trauma may express itself in certain classroom behaviors.
I The Minority Male Initiative: Addressing Mt. SAC’s Most Significant Equity Gap 61-2316
Presenters: Audrey Yamagata-Noji, Clarence Banks, Francisco Dorame, Jeremy Hart, Tony Rivas, Felix Ricarte, Sectino Bradley
Mt. SAC's equity research reinforces what most of us already know: Latino, African American and Polynesian males have the lowest success rates at Mt. SAC. The Minority Male Initiative was developed to focus on strategies to address these unacceptable equity gaps. This session will present the work that has been done to date and will provide faculty with insights on what can be done to bridge these gaps. Specific strategies include: student development (code switching, locus of control, social capital, imposter syndrome), student success intervention (career direction, student leadership development, in-reach, mentoring, Fale Fono and Indaba), academic support (math boot camp, study support, overcoming math anxiety).
J Guided Pathways & Equity: Upward Mobility and the Elusive “Underground Pathways” for Today’s Community College Students
11-2406
Presenters: Mica Stewart
In this workshop, I will discuss the book, the Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, and connect the book's major themes to contemporary issues that still limit the ability of many students to follow our "guided pathways" into better economic and educational circles of society.
K Digital Stories: Student Narratives from a Cross-Section of Student Equity Programs 61-2311
Presenters: Aida Cuenza-Uvas, Kare'l Lokeni, Patricia Asuega, Marlene Gallarde, Chan Ton
Equity draws attention to the disparities in educational experiences and outcomes among a diverse group of students. The selected digital stories for this presentation give insight to how our students' educational experiences may have been impacted by life events and people. This third cohort of Digital Storytellers represent ACES, Arise, Aspire, DREAM and REACH; each student participant has worked diligently to share their powerful narratives. Be prepared to critically reflect on how their story informs us about their humanity and more importantly encourage us, in our role as educators, to humanize their higher education journey as Mt. SAC students scholars. Consider how it may transform your teaching pedagogy, contribute to your professional development, and enhance your knowledge in your role as an educator. Together, we are responding to social disparities among our local communities, which are a part of our mindfulness of a dynamic student equity agenda.

L Considering Teaching Online? DL Start to Finish 6-263 POD Loft – Smart Lab
Presenter: Carol Impara
Faculty have been urged to increase online course offerings in their disciplines. Although some faculty have been teaching online for years, the process seems opaque to many.

It will include a brief orientation to SPOT Canvas, an introduction on how to submit a course through the DL Amendment process, and a discussion of how evaluations for online courses differ from face to face course evaluations.

D SI’s, TC’s, Coaches, and Tutors – What’s the Difference?
61-2315
Presenters: Christina Estrada, Eva Figueroa-Morales, David Charbonneau, Beta Meyer, James Reed, John Cardenas, faculty panel
Mt. SAC offers students leadership opportunities and academic support, and in our tutoring and support centers they get just that; some are tutors and mentors, and others receive the tutoring and mentoring. This comes in the form of supplemental instructors, tutors in the classroom, coaches, peer tutors and professional tutors, but what are the differences between these services and just how do these services collaborate with faculty to support our students’ success? This presentation serves to inform faculty and staff on the relationship between these employees, students, and faculty in and outside the classroom. Each resource will designate a lead presenter to explain the details of the service, hiring process and qualifications, and if applicable relate the resource back to specific programs and/or departments that use that resource.

J Navigating Unchartered AB 705 Waters: How to Manage Writing for Our New Wave of English Language Learners in Content Area Classrooms
61-2310
Presenters: Elizabeth Casian, Evelyn Hill-Enriquez, Barbara Mezaki
With the implementation of AB-705 and multiple measures, in the Fall of 2018, content-area professors may encounter English Language Learners (ELLs) whose language skills may not be as well developed as in the past and who may have had limited exposure and experience with academic college English coursework. This workshop addresses a number of issues that faculty may experience in these post-AB-705 waters, including applying pedagogical best practices for NNES students, highlighting Mt.

Our goal is for all faculty to feel more comfortable when working with DHH students. The last two years have been a learning experience for all of us and we would like to share that journey with you.
