Redesign for Equity and Accessibility Lab (REAL)

Overview

The Redesign for Equity and Accessibility Lab (REAL) is a faculty fellowship program created at CSM with funds from a one-time Culturally Responsive Pedagogy and Practices (CRPP) Innovation Grant from the California Community Colleges State Chancellor's Office.

Running each of three semesters (Spring '24, Fall '24, Spring '25), REAL provides up to 19 total faculty members with a semester-long course release to engage in deep learning around course design, make substantive changes to a course in five key areas, and share findings with the campus community.

The purpose of REAL is to better serve our disproportionately impacted, disabled, and underrepresented student populations by cultivating culturally responsive and accessible pedagogy and practices at CSM.
