“…It would include developing culturally sustaining pedagogy across the curriculum (Kynard, 2014;Ladson-Billings, 2021;Love, 2019;Milner, 2020;Minor, 2018;Paris & Alim, 2017), developing more equitable grading practices (Feldman, 2019;Inoue, 2015;Staats, 2014), and hiring more diverse faculty and staff (Bitar et al, 2022;Jawaharlal, 2022;Suh et al, 2021, p. 334). It would rebuild and reprofessionalize the teaching workforce on community college campuses, which currently relies heavily on contingent faculty working under precarious (and what could be described as perhaps sometimes unethical) conditions (CCCSE, 2014;Childress, 2019;Christie & Dean, 2022;Kezar et al, 2019;Klausman, 2010;Suh et al, 2021;Umbach, 2007).

“…The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Two-Year College English Association (TYCA) has published a series of white papers on issues related to retention and student learning that offer key insights about some of these variables. This work includes Hassel et al (2015), Klausman et al (2016), Suh et al (2021), and the TYCA Workload Issues Committee report from 2022. English teachers are key stakeholders in conversations related to retention at community colleges because they teach foundational academic skills-reading, writing, and critical and creative thinkingand gateway academic courses including first-year composition and developmental English classes.…”

Online community college instructors typically work off the tenure track with high teaching loads and often for more than one institution (Suh et al, 2021). Their compensation rarely accounts for labor-intensive work required for designing multiple effective online courses that support equitable learning for students (Giordano et al, 2022).…”
