Students had the opportunity to attend an orientation
for either new students, continuing students, or ESL
students. Attending an orientation is one of the
three new state requirements for SB1456 which also
includes assessment and Student Educational Planning.
Students who complete an orientation, assessment
and Student Ed Plan will be eligible to have an earlier
registration date beginning in
Fall 2014, so the attendees of the
Kickoff got to complete one of these
necessary steps before school began!

Achieving the Dream uses a student-centered model of institutional improvement focused on creating a culture of evidence in which data and inquiry drive broadbased institutional efforts to close achievement gaps and improve student outcomes overall.
Core Team Responsibilities Identify existing values, assumptions,
structures, and systems at the college that nurture and impede student success Consider leverage points to improve
student outcomes, lead a process for setting institutional priorities, goals, and strategies Perform an inventory of policy and
practice barriers that inhibit student success Engage students, faculty, community
members, and others in dialogue about the analysis and proposed goals and strategies Ensure that strategies are aligned
with the college budget, strategic plan, and other major initiatives in order to promote sustainability Provide leadership to spread a
culture of inquiry, reflection, and commitment to student success throughout the college
Data Team Responsibilities Develop a candid analysis of the
college’s performance with respect to student outcomes, with a special focus on low-income students, students of color, and others who face barriers to success Examine quantitative and qualitative
data and present findings in a clear and compelling way that show where the college is doing well and where it needs to improve Seek involvement of students and
faculty to identify strengths and weaknesses of current college policies, structures, and services Aid the Core Team in engaging
students, faculty, community members, and others in dialogue about the analysis and proposed goals and strategies

result of attending the
Fall Kickoff, students
will be more prepared
and more successful along their
journey with us at LAMC. Thank
you to all who participated in making
this event come to fruition. It was a
collaborative effort that has inspired
faculty and staff engagement with
student success on our campus.
