The Open for Antiracism program supports US community college faculty to transform their classrooms to be antiracist by using OER and Open Pedagogy. Participants add underrepresented viewpoints and create inclusive content in collaboration with their students, while blending Open Pedagogy with Antiracist Pedagogy In this presentation, we will review lessons learned in the Open for Antiracism program and share research on institutional impact, faculty perceptions, and student outcomes. We will also ask attendees to discuss how they can adapt or adopt the overall program or components in their own settings. We invite critiques of the program and ask attendees to share how their institutions promote antiracist teaching practices to improve student success, particularly for traditionally marginalized and underserved students. The interactive discussion will conclude with the question of how Open Education can more effectively engage with antiracist pedagogy.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Make the case that OER and Open Pedagogy can support Antiracist Pedagogy
- Describe how inclusive and antiracist pedagogies can support student success, particularly for traditionally marginalized and underserved students.
- Summarize the outcomes of the Open for Antiracism Program
- Describe how they can leverage OER and Open Pedagogy in their own settings to support Antiracist Pedagogy
