AACC – 21st Century Commission on the Future of Community Colleges

Reclaiming the American Dream• Redesign the students educational

experience• Reinvent institutional roles• Reset the system

Redesign Student’s Educational Experiences College Preparedness: The future will require

community colleges to work more closely with K-12 to align expectations, curriculum and to create clear pathways. LB College Promise

Completion: The future will require that community colleges dramatically increase completion rates. Expect that $$ will be tied to outcomes – get ready now. SB 1456 requires the establishment of a scorecard which sets in motion outcomes funding.

Close the skills gap. Latino’s, African Americans, first generation students – we must do better for our future.

Reinvent Institutional Roles

Refocus the community college mission Collaboration: Among colleges, universities and with

philanthropy, government and private sector. Lumina, Gates, Department of Labor, White House Initiative on Excellence in Education, Goldman Sachs, etc.

Student Success Task Force Recommendations

Reset the System

Funding: The levels and how we are funded will change. Outcomes will be incorporated both at state and federal level.

Student Support: State aid will include incentives for making academic progress

Transparency & Accreditation: More reliance on data to demonstrate outcomes. More public information to inform consumers of higher education

Innovation

Basic Skills/Developmental Ed CTE Certification Khan Academy Model – Flipping the Classroom Placement: Alternative Methods: LBCC Alternative

Placement Model

Crystal Ball

Funding will be tied to outcomes – get ready!

More accountability

Mandated collaboration with K-12 and CSU. More of the SB 1440 model

Economic and workforce development – Its about jobs not Big Bird

Background and Overview of the Project

• Part of LACCD’s Achieving the Dream initiative

• Engage Faculty (and Chairs)• Leverage Institutional Research and Information Technology• Use Data to Improve Student Success• Analyze Cohorts and Pathways

• Impact of Exit Points• Impact of “3 strikes rule” on colleges

• Evaluate Student Success Interventions

• District office as catalyst for faculty team collaboration, including• Led by District Math Council• Involved the Academic Senate • College math departments and Student Success teams• State-wide 3CSN, hosted by LACCD• Related resources and expertise• Tom Carey, San Diego State University

Math Faculty Inquiry Teams

Target Outcomes (from LACCD Math Summit, May 18 2012)

Analysis of data on student success in Developmental Math (Algebra)

Identify requirements critical to improving student success

Design intervention strategies:

• new or modified pathways and courses,

• class scheduling, support services, etc.

Schedule pilot offerings in Spring 2013

Analysis of Spring 2013 results and plans to revise/extend/scale up

Math Faculty Inquiry Teams (continued)

• Each college has a “refrigerator door” in our shared online workspace

• Each team member follows progress and provides feedback for other colleges

• Over time, new online boards emerge for topics of shared interest

• We will move to a more powerful platform (with potential as 3CSN regional network)

• We also plan to collect exemplary classroom practices and learning resources

The Way Forward

Spring 2013

Launch the pilots (compressed and accelerated pathways)

California Community Colleges Today

•112 Community Colleges, each usually acting as a stand-alone purveyor of programs

•Routine duplication of programs and services within Districts and regions

•Incentive to add centers and colleges instead of sharing resources and programs

•Community need for college is still based on face-to-face classrooms and 30 mile driving model

Innovative Partner Opportunities

Innovative Partner Opportunities (continued)

Wisconsin Experience

•Northcentral Technical College (NTC) – 6,000 square mile region in Wausau, WI

•NTC – a primary campus and 4 regional sites•16 community colleges state-wide system•BadgerNet used to connect high schools, technical colleges, and University of WI Centers

•Partnering was encouraged and expected•Example of Partnering: Dental Hygiene partnership between multiple colleges and two states


Santa Rosa Junior College Partnering Options

Programs: Paralegal and Psych TechPartner Institutions Involved: Sonoma Statue University (SSU), Napa Valley College

(NVC), SRJCGenesis: SSU discontinued its paralegal program

NVC and SRJC had some elements of a paralegal programDue to budget constraints, adding new programs for either community college was

difficultNVC and SRJC had full Psych Tech programs but, due to retirements at SRJC and

downturn in hiring by local employer, an opportunity to eliminate program presented itself NVC had several full time faculty in Psych Tech and local employer still hiring

Solution: SRJC eliminated Psych Tech program and referred all interested students to NVC NVC maintained the relationship with local employer for a greatly reduced hiring and

internship program, still meeting all regional needs for Psych Techs NVC eliminated its Paralegal program and referred all students to SRJCSRJC hired adjunct faculty from SSU to teach the Paralegal Studies program


Programs: Respiratory Therapy

Partner Institutions Involved: SRJC, Napa Valley College (NVC)

Genesis: Too few students to support an ongoing program

Solution: All prerequisites taken at SRJC

Lectures are via real time interactive television from Napa Valley College and viewed at SRJC

Lab assistant who is a respiratory therapist present in the interactive smart room

Labs are at Napa Valley College

Clinicals are done at local hospitals


Programs: EMC: Advanced EMT

Partner Institutions involved: SRJC, Mendocino ROP, possibly Mendocino Community

College

Genesis: Sonoma and Mendocino counties have large rural areas supported by volunteer

first responders. One way to improve ALS coverage is to train EMTs to the Advanced

level.

Advanced EMT (AEMT) training is expensive. Mendocino County had a Paramedic

training program but discontinued it due to cost. With the loss of the Paramedic

program in Mendocino, the ability to provide structure and support for an AEMT training program was lost.

SRJC was looking for ways to better serve the training needs of EMS providers from the northern CA counties that could not provide for their own training needs.

Solution: SRJC developed a hybrid online course for AEMT

Mendocino ROP and Mendocino College will offer and support the laboratory and clinical components of the course for Mendocino County residents.

SRJC will offer and support the laboratory and clinical components of the course for

Sonoma County residents. Students from both counties will enroll in the online

component of the course through SRJC.

Outcomes: By partnering, SRJC, Mendocino ROP and Mendocino College met the

training needs for limited ALS EMS (AEMT) providers in rural areas

while remaining within budgetary parameters.


Designing the Future•Regionalization to cut costs and better serve students and communities

•Partnerships between community colleges, CSUs, private schools, K-12 and businesses are all options

•Use technology to bridge “distance”•Don’t wait until it’s mandated•Lead the charge!
