What have participants said about CCEPG sessions:

 

“Having the opportunity to discuss this issues with colleagues and reframe the idea of “fairness” in terms of looking at equity has been a great gift. I feel more comfortable making choices about differentiating expectations for students who I feel can succeed if they are given the right kind of support and encouragement.” -Alice Hale, Early Childhood Development

“This type of experience is necessary to grow as an individual and to challenge yourself on figuring out “Why do you do what you do?”. The intentionality of choosing a focal student to support taught me valuable lessons about my internal biases. The meetings provided me with resources, support and suggestions on how to improve.  I thoroughly enjoyed the process, activities, discussions and various points of view during our sessions.”- Emmanuel Lopez, Counselor
