Equity at the Helm: Guiding DEIA Integration in Faculty Evaluation and Teaching Practice

Christine Phillips and Flavio Medina-Martin, Ed.D. 

State Center Community College District

Professional development leaders are key navigators in steering their institutions toward equity and inclusion. This session anchors around the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office requirements for incorporating Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) into faculty evaluations, while equipping PD practitioners with tools to support faculty in embedding DEIA into their pedagogy. Participants will chart a shared course for scalable training, reflective practice, and strategic alignment with evaluation criteria—ensuring DEIA isn’t a one-time initiative, but the prevailing wind behind professional growth.
