  8. Maximize Student Success

  9. Student engagement

  10. Maximize Student Success • Student Engagement – CCSSE • Research-based measures • Activities that promote student success • Communicated through five benchmarks • www.ccsse.org

  11. Student Engagement • Active & Collaborative Learning • “This is a technical college where a student is supposed to receive textbook learning with hands on instructions. BUT it’s not always what happens in most classrooms. A lot of the instructors tell the students here is the material and the assignment is due on this date- Good Luck!”

  12. Student Engagement • Student Effort • “When employers were questioned about the important things they looked for in employees their #1 response was that they show up for work every day. Same thing is true for college. Regular attendance is one of top things for a successful completion of college.”

  13. Student Engagement • Academic Challenge • “I just graduated high school back in May and didn't know what to expect from college. Everyone told me that it was a lot different than high school and I see what they mean. I actually like it better than high school. “

  14. Student Engagement • Student-Faculty Interaction • “I feel like faculty need to just be vocal in their assignments and expectations. I feel many instructors are purposely vague in order to thin out those who don’t listen quite as well.”

  15. Student Engagement • Support for Learners • “I do think instructors and advisors play a huge role in the success of the student. I think most of the time a new student will need reassurance. They may feel intimidated by advisors to discuss goals. “

  16. measures

  17. Measures • Performance Targets • Think of strategic ways to reach goals • Not reaching target is NOT a failure • Not trying is a failure

  18. Measures • Ideally – a quantifiable measure of impact on student performance • Engagement, persistence or learning • Next best – a quantifiable measure of activity that supports student performance

  19. Measures • Activities/Measures will vary by area • Instructional – student engagement and persistence • Student Services – student engagement and support of engagement • Administrative/Support Services – support of engagement

  20. Measures • Instructional Examples • Engagement Measure: • Faculty teaching ENG 100 will meet with each student for a fifteen minute mid-term conference to discuss career plans. • Persistence Measure: • Successful course completion rates (e.g., C or better) for ENG 100 will increase from an average 60% to 64% without lowering standards.

  21. Measures • Student Services Examples • 90% of students who receive probation counseling will avoid suspension • Students will report 90% satisfaction with Financial Aid counseling

  22. Measures • Administrative/Support Service Examples • HR will fill 95% of all vacancies within two months with qualified personnel. • Students report at least 90% satisfaction with quality of food through Food Services Survey. • IR will return instructor/course evaluation results to divisions within four weeks of the start of the next semester.

  23. accountability

  24. Accountability • Method to document activities and progress toward goals • NOT punitive • Again, not meeting goals is OK • Not trying is not

  25. Accountability • Divisions/Departments • Institutional Effectiveness • Individuals • EPMS/FPMS

  26. Accountability • Institutional Effectiveness • One to two measures per department/division • www.yorktech.com/ie • Internal reports

  27. Accountability • EPMS/FPMS • Faculty/Staff/Administrators • Two objectives • One Measurable • Faculty – one related to student engagement

  28. Accountability • Institutional Effectiveness • October 15th – plans for 2008-09 • June 30th – results for 2008-09 • EPMS/FPMS • October 13th – plans for 2008-09 • September 1st – performance review for 2008-09
