Background: In the post pandemic aftermath of moving program curriculum and student advising online, inconsistencies surfaced in the areas of content presentation, interactive learning activities, and prompt student support. In 2021 the Nursing Program at Anne Arundel Community College was awarded a threeyear Nursing Support Program (NSP) II competitive grant Titled, Expanding Nursing Capacity with the goal of supporting AACC strategies to improve student graduation numbers through the alignment of content offering and the expansion of online simulation and instruction modalities. The grant includes hiring an Online Instructional Specialist (OIS) to collaborate with faculty to increase the effectiveness of online classroom presentation and providing faculty the tools to teach larger cohorts in an online format that also prepares student graduates to enter a diverse nursing workforce. Objectives: The OIS will collaborate with faculty to: A. Develop student centered climates and practices that foster inclusive excellence, remove barriers, and increase access and accountability in equitable practices. B. Cultivate an EDI lens about curriculum and pedagogy, encouraging instructors to think about power relations consistently throughout the on-line content and methods used in their course. C. Apply intersectional analysis to course materials, pedagogical practices, and department/school policies and procedures to develop understandings of the ways in which race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and other social identities interrelate with each other to produce differing access to power and privilege. D. Integrate strategies to foster resiliency across the student cohort. Methods: Analysis of program data analysis showed that some students, particularly students of color struggled academically and complained of the inconsistency met across courses in the areas of content offering and advising. The OIS will use strategies of instructional design to create a more seamless pathway to student success.
