| Abstract | This study explores the experiences of three faculty members from English as a Second Language, English, and Reading departments who were involved in an action inquiry project at an urban community college. Participants in the study, along with the action inquiry group, engaged in a series of self-assessment activities to examine the inequitable educational outcomes in basic skills coursework in their institution. The purpose of this study was to understand the ways in which faculty members who engaged in an action research project learned about cultural responsiveness through their discussions about a key pedagogical tool: course syllabi. The learning that took place influenced the participants to change their beliefs, practices, and attitudes toward basic skills students and motivated them to become advocates of their students’ success. |
