2026 Black Student Success Week: Black Hour, No More Gatekeeping: Redesigning Math Pathways for Servingness

Join California Community Colleges for this statewide initiative focused on advancing Black student achievement, community, and opportunity across our colleges. This year's theme is Revolution: (Re)Defining Black Student Success.

Transfer-level math remains one of the most significant academic barriers to completion for many students. This session focuses on teaching and learning strategies that support Black students’ success in these courses. Participants will learn how math pathways can be intentionally structured to accelerate progress, close completion gaps, and align instructional practice with Black Servingness. Panelists will discuss policy, pedagogy, and institutional redesign efforts that remove structural barriers while maintaining rigor.
