Delivering on the Promise of Higher Education Through California Community Colleges Curriculum
The Academic Senate invites you to attend the 2023 Curriculum Institute - Hybrid Event on July 12-15, 2023, held at the Riverside Convention Center! Join ASCCC, curriculum enthusiasts, faculty, classified professionals, administrators, and students to learn, share ideas, build connections and transform institutions through curriculum discussions.
This event provides opportunities for in-depth conversations, collective voice, leadership and empowerment. Participants will work together to discuss collaborative strategies for implementing current legislation, innovations in curriculum, equitable educational opportunities, pathways for student success, and more.
Curriculum Institute 2023 is currently planned as an in-person and virtual (hybrid) event. Pre-session workshops on July 12 will provide training and resources for those new and newer to curriculum.
WELCOME LETTER
On behalf of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) and its Curriculum Committee, it is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to each of you for your attendance and participation at our 2023 Curriculum Institute. Whether you are joining us online or here at the beautiful Riverside Convention Center, I hope you enjoy the intentionally designed hybrid general and breakout sessions intended to inspire. While the deliberate sessions are designed for structured interaction, the program also has built in round table in-person mixers to allow attendees the opportunity to talk with curriculum enthusiasts, ask questions, share stories, and meet new colleagues.
The Curriculum Institute is a place where thought provoking educators, leaders, researchers, advocates, and practitioners join to build connections, learn within communities of practice, and empower one another through shared knowledge to transform institutions and ultimately students’ experiences. This year’s theme Delivering on the Promise of Higher Education through California Community Colleges Curriculum speaks to ASCCC’s commitment to the largest system of higher education in the nation to continue efforts to provide affordable education, support for student success services, protection of academic freedom and the advancement of inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, and accessibility. During hybrid general sessions the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, Student Senate for California Colleges leaders, Chief Instructional Officers and ASCCC leaders will discuss transformational change and provide updates in our system around legislation and curriculum.
Thank you for your commitment to issues related to the development, review, implementation, and assessment of all aspects of student-centered curriculum. The success of the Curriculum Institute would not be possible without overseers of our higher education promise, and the collaborative efforts of you and this community of champions who help steward ASCCC’s mission to advance student access and student success.
Sincerely,
LaTonya Parker Ed. D., ASCCC Secretary
ASCCC Curriculum Chair 2022-2023

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that this important work is taking place throughout the unceded territory of California, home to nearly 200 tribal nations. We acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of our various regions. A land acknowledgment is a critical step towards working with native communities to secure meaningful partnership and inclusion in the stewardship and protection of their cultural resources and homelands.
We begin today by acknowledging that we are holding our gathering on the land of the Tongva (Gabrieleno), Payómkawichum (Luiseño), and Cahuilla Nations who have lived and continue to live here. We recognize the Tongva (Gabrieleno), Payómkawichum (Luiseño), and Cahuilla Nations and their spiritual connection to the ocean and the land as the first stewards and the traditional caretakers of this area we now call Riverside. As we begin we thank them for their strength, perseverance, and resistance.
We also wish to acknowledge the other Indigenous Peoples who now call Riverside their home, for their shared struggle to maintain their cultures, languages, worldview, and identities in our diverse City.
Mission, Vision and Values Statements
Guidelines for Dialogue
- Be true to yourself. We want to create an atmosphere for open, honest exchange.
- Commit to learning from each other. Listen to each other and acknowledge that we all come from different backgrounds, skills, interests, abilities, and values. We realize that it is these very differences that will increase our awareness and understanding through this process.
- Acknowledge each other’s experiences. We will not devalue people for their experiences, lack of experiences, or differences in interpretation of those experiences.
- Trust that others are doing the best they can. We will try not to ‘freeze people in time’ but leave space for everyone to learn and change through our interactions with one another.
- Challenge the idea and not the person. If we wish to challenge something that has been said, we will challenge the idea or the practice referred to, not the individual sharing this idea or practice.
- Speak your discomfort. If something is bothering you and you are open to sharing, please share it with the group. Often our emotional reactions to this process offer the most valuable learning opportunities.
- Step Up, Step Back. Be mindful of taking up much more space than others. On the same note, empower yourself to speak up when others are dominating the conversation.
