7. PCCUA College Family PCCUA is like a family…….. We work together as a unit, share information, material, space, and more. Argue but get along (no fear of expulsion), fight and forgive. Work together to get work done. Face our challenges together. Recruit students into our college family…..we must accept them as they are.

8. Student in College Recruit students into our college family…..we need to be prepared to treat them as part of our college family. • Most of our students are academically underprepared. • Many of our student face multiple barriers (social, personal, economics). • Most of our students do not know how to navigate the academic world. • Many do not know what they want to do in life.

9. High Schools First-Time, Full-Time PCCUA is not recruiting enough students from the high schools we serve. ADHE Recently Graduated High School Students 5/11/2011

10. Students Students are attending PCCUA with serious remediation needs. Students are placing in lower levels of reading, English, and math at far greater numbers than in the past. Student remediation is a problem in both Phillips and Arkansas County but the problem is more serious in Phillips County.

11. School District Remediation Rates Total and by Subject for the 2010 Fall Term ADHE-2011 Report for Fall 2010

12. Students Graduation rates for students at PCCUA are lower than the average for four and two year colleges but these are improving. The graduation rate for men, women, and white/ non-Hispanic students is lower than the average two and four year colleges. The graduation rate for African-American students is higher than the average graduation rate at other two year colleges but not as high as it is at four year colleges and universities(this is an improvement over past rates and does address the ATD goal to reduce the achievement gap between white and AA students).

13. GRADUATION RATES IPEDS 2010 Report

14. Students IPEDS reflect the overall PCCUA enrollment trends. PCCUA enrolls more part time students. PCCUA has more female than male students enrolled.

15. Total enrollment (all undergraduate Gender Attendance Status IPEDS 2010

16. Students A Majority of the PCCUA students are 24 and under and a majority of them live in-state and in-county.

17. STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS Student Age Student Residence IPEDS 2010

18. Student The PCCUA transfer-out rate is good. More males than females complete a certificate or degree but remember, we have fewer males.

19. GRADUATION Graduation Rate Graduation by Gender IPEDS 2010

20. Students White students graduate at a higher rate than other ethnic groups. PCCUA is bi-racial not multicultural.

21. GRADUATION RATE BY RACE/ETHNICITY IPEDS 2010

22. Students PCCUA students do not graduate in the traditional 2-3 year period. However; if you add a year (200%) the graduation rate improves significantly. Unfortunately, we do not get credit for this rate of progress.

23. GRADUATION RATE BY TIME IPEDS 2010 – 2005 & 2006 Cohort

24. Completion and PersistenceATD Indicators and Arkansas Indicators

25. Degree and Certificate Completion

26. How Can We Improve to Address Needs Remediate Remediate throughout the College Increase course completion Increase retention from semester to semester and year to year (program retention and completion) Increase certificate and degree completion

27. What You Can Do To Help Provide • Structure • Engagement-Cooperative Learning (this has proven effective) • Capacity Building (help them to learn to navigate your course and the system) • Continuity of instruction • Consistency (high standards, student understanding of expected learning outcomes) • Frequent assessment • Reinforce positive learning habits • Help and support

28. ATD Process Continued course redesign Improved processes which relate directly to instruction and student services ATD strategies appear to be working Supplemental labs in reading, math, and English Student Success classes tied to English (EH 1023 and EH 113)

29. Students ATD Strategy not working in the way it was intended to work… Early Alert Too many students are withdrawing with a “W” grade. Too many instructors are providing “EW” grades at the end of a semester. Based on PCCUA “W” and “EW” data this may be the next problem we need to examine in depth because it has a direct tie to retention and persistence.

30. Students We know instruction is more difficult today because of the increasingly high remediation needs of high school students who attend PCCUA. Higher rates of course completion, retention, and graduation directly benefit the College, you, and most importantly, the student. Instructors make a difference in the life of a student!
