Breaking Barriers for Foster
Youth: Supporting Education
Success
The Student Equity Plan charges Rio Hondo College with identifying the
barriers to student success in: Access, Course Completion, Basic Skills and ESL
Sequence Completion, Degree and Certificate Completion, and Transfer. The
links between a barrier and solution are not always clear and easy to define.
This highly interactive workshop will provide participants with promising
practices in aligning project design with the outcomes in the five student equity
indicator areas. Participants will gain insights towards strengthening project
design and evaluating student success.
Come learn about transfer requirements. We will show you some online
resources and provide you with information so that you can empower your
students to think about transfer. Examples of information to be covered: (UC
TAP, Golden 4, UC/CSU GPA, TAG, CSU Mentor, Transfer Center Website,
Offering extra credit assignments for vising the TC, meeting with reps,
attending workshops and tours)
This session is for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and
CTE (Career & Technical Education) faculty who are interested in serving as a
mentor for our future teachers. It will talk about Rio Hondo’s STEM-CTE I
Teach program and how faculty can get involved by becoming a mentor.
Eligibility, stipend and the application process will be discussed
This workshop seeks to raise awareness on the unique experiences and needs of
students who are or have been placed in the foster care system. Information on
how growing up in this system can affect academic outcomes as well as what is
being done at the state and campus level to support foster youth will be
reviewed.
Benefits and services provided through the New Guardian Scholars Program
on campus will be emphasized. Tips and tools for faculty, counselors and staff
on how they can help foster youth to be successful in the classroom and beyond
will also be addressed
