The 2021 Budget Postsecondary Education Trailer Bill (AB 132) appropriated $20 million in onetime funding for allocation to community college districts to support a systemwide effort to provide culturally competent professional development, with an emphasis on improving learning outcomes. A total of $5.8 million was provided to districts through apportionment during the 2021-2022 academic year First Principal Apportionment (P1). The remaining $14.2 million is being made available to districts as Culturally Responsive Pedagogy & Practices (CRPP) Innovative Best Practices Grants through the RFA linked below.
The CRPP Innovative Best Practices Grants are competitive, one-time grants to aid institutions that develop innovative Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA)-minded and culturally competent professional development training for faculty. Trainings should focus specifically on nurturing the development of culturally responsive pedagogy and classroom practices for disproportionately impacted and underrepresented communities.
