OTC19: Zero Textbook Cost Degrees - Reducing Equity Gaps or Just Lowering CostsUna Daly
Twenty-six community colleges received Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Degree implementation grants from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. Eliminating the cost of textbooks removes a major barrier to student access and learning. Grantees were also interested in how ZTC degree pathways can address the critical issue of student equity. With this in mind, the ZTC Degree Technical Assistance team has developed four major strategies to promote and measure the link between ZTC degree pathways and equity.
• Collect student outcome data for pathway courses and disaggregate by demographics to better understand the effects on all students.
• Develop the ZTC Degree Equity Champion network to provide a community of practice, coursework, and training materials to promote awareness among students and faculty and linkages with student equity and guided pathways initiatives on campus.
• Promote ZTC Degrees through summits, conference events, and marketing materials to drive awareness and build relationships with the statewide academic senate and the other public higher education systems.
• Develop a course that ties Open Educational Resources to Student Equity, and Guided Pathways to ZTC Degrees.
