FACILITATOR
Arleen Arnsparger (BIO)

The workshop was led by Arleen Arnsparger, Project Manager for the Initiative on Student Success at the Center for Community College Student Engagement in Austin, Texas.   A team of faculty and staff  worked together to review the data provided from the CCSSE and CCFSSE surveys conducted during the spring 2012 semester. During the one and a half days, the team worked with the data, discussed strategies that could improve the student experience, and formulated an action plan for initiating appropriate strategies. The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), a product and service of the Center for Community College Student Engagement, is a well-established tool that helps institutions focus on good educational practice and identify areas in which they can improve their programs and services.

 

Action Plan (Prioritized)
1) Establish college strategic plan (review every three to four years)
2) Continue faculty development
3) Deepen understanding of collaborative learning
4) Set consistent ( applied the same way) and uniforms (the same) norms for college Practices
5) Provide more opportunities and sharing for adjunct faculty
6) Ensure that data provided for discussion and application is "real" and "useable" for faculty and staff.
7) Make college data accessible to all.
8) Use more focus groups and other one to one approaches  to gather information.
