A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
North Seattle College recently completed an inventory using the Equity Resource Bank Tool. The Equity Resource Bank (ERB) Tool is starting with reviewing/inventorying racial equity in an understanding that documenting common practices, to improve campus climates, is an important step to examining critical work being done to improve equity. This tool is intended to use critical race theory discussion of community cultural wealth at the Community and Technical Colleges within Washington. As a tool, it asks colleges to share work done within your institution at the division, department, and/or committee level to improve racial equity for student, faculty, staff, and/or community members.
