CaSES: Civic and Social Entrepreneurship Summit
California State University, Los Angeles
Dec 7-8, 2017
At CaSES, over 100 students presented innovative solutions to wicked problems in their communities. Students in the Race/Class/Gender course first conducted Needs Assessments of their communities to explore the connections between course themes and real-life experience. They worked in teams, analyzing qualitative and quantitative data to design solutions and considering the challenges of implementing big ideas for social change.
The final result is a set of presentations that help to define a model of entrepreneurship rooted in social research, community accountability, and practical innovation. For more: www.praxicalsoc.org/strategies

With traditional assessments unavailable, authorizers and schools are looking for new ways to measure quality. Join a session to learn about the Advancing Great Authorizing and Modeling Excellence (A-GAME) initiative on creating responsive goals based on student population. Focusing on alternative education campuses, 50 authorizers collaborated over the past year to develop a method for creating new measurements based not on averages but on population.
Achieving the Dream's OER Degree College Panel Una Daly
Last June, Achieving the Dream (ATD) announced the largest initiative of its kind to develop degree programs using high quality open educational resources (OER) at 38 community colleges in 13 states. The program is designed to help remove financial roadblocks that can derail students’ progress and to spur other changes in teaching and learning and course design that will increase the likelihood of degree and certificate completion.
Grantee colleges have been busy this summer and fall developing OER courses and planning the delivery of their OER Degree programs with cross-functional teams of stakeholders including faculty, librarians, administrators, and other staff.
Grant partners Lumen Learning, the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER), and SRI International are providing technical assistance, community of practice, and research support to grantees
Come and hear from a panel of four college leaders on their early successes, lesson learned, and challenges ahead in rolling out OER Degree programs to students over the next few years. Topics include fostering faculty and administrator engagement, effective professional development, creating awareness among students, measuring outcomes, and creating sustainable policies.
Panelists:
• Clea Andreadis, Vice-Provost, Bunker Hill College, MA
• Mark Johnson, North Campus Language Arts Department Chair, San Jacinto College, TX
• Cynthia Lofaso, Psychology Professor, Central Virginia Community College, VA
• Carlos Lopez, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, Santa Ana College,
Joan Lionetti, Executive Director, Trees for Tucson, discusses a program with the Pima County Juvenile court to that teaches youth job skills including tree care at the 2013 ACTrees Day.

Editor's Notes
Make this slide your own - it’s the first slide the audience will see. Feel welcome to change the colors and design of this and every slide to express your unique perspective. Specific notes: Title: choose something short - less than 7 words.
Subtitle is optional, but you can use this to elaborate on your strategy.
Pick an image related to your theme - try not to use clip art, you want the audience to immediately take you seriously.
Take the audience BRIEFLY through your process - each person should take 10 seconds or less, for a total less than 1 min. Make sure you show a smooth flow from the identification of needs to model design to ultimate impact.
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What is the issue you have chosen? Why is your group passionate about this issue? Which specific aspects of race, class, and gender inequality does it target? Which specific groups of people are impacted, and in what ways?
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What are the obstacles that have kept this change from happening so far? This is a great place to cite a course reading and use observations from surveys to support your points.

You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but this is a great place to mention a course reading, and the main idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What strategies do you propose to address this issue, and why did you choose them? Limit this to 1-2 strategies - this should be a deep exploration rather than a list. How specifically does each strategy work, and how do they work together?
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: How do they use an understanding of how race, class, and gender inequality work to increase their impact? Draw specifically from the readings here.What are other strategies that haven't worked in the past, and why are yours more efficient and impactful? What resources will you need? Who will you need to engage to make it work - both allies and opponents - and how will you do it?
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but this is a great place to mention a course reading, and the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal:
What vision is your strategy building toward - i.e., if all goes well, how will race, class, and gender look different 50-100 years from now? What are short term benchmarks that you would need to accomplish in the next year to put this in place?
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What are measurable changes in the medium-term (1-5 years) that will tell you if it's working or not? Draw from the readings here: what from the course makes you think these specific changes are important? Name 2-3 challenges you think will stand in the way of your vision: how will you learn from these challenges and use them to make your model better?
Use this slide to raise final points to help your audience and the judges engage with you. You get to choose, but here are some examples:
Future. What should be done - and what do you plan to do - to make this idea real?
Questions. What do you want to know from the judges?
Limitations. What do you wish you knew more about?
Takeaway. What’s the most important idea you want people to leave with?
