  13. QEP Timeline • On-Site Review • October 27-29, 2009 • QEP Draft Completed • August 14, 2009 • QEP Document Due in Atlanta • September 15, 2009

  14. How Engaged Are You? We Can Measure Our Success • CCSSE – survey to measure our engagement • Provides us the “Student Perspective” • Provides us great data to measure our progress • Allows us to compare ourselves nationally and among our peers

  15. CCSSE: A Tool for Improvement • CCSSE helps colleges: • Assess quality in community college education • Identify and learn from good educational practice • Identify areas in which we can improve Community College Survey of Student Engagement

  16. CCSSE Benchmarks for Effective Educational Practice The five CCSSE benchmarks are: Active and Collaborative Learning Student Effort Academic Challenge Student-Faculty Interaction Support for Learners Community College Survey of Student Engagement

  17. CCSSE’s First Six Years • Over 700,000 students, representing nearly 3.9 million • 624 different colleges • 49 states, plus British Columbia, Nova Scotia, & the Marshall Islands • 23 states use CCSSE system-/state-wide Community College Survey of Student Engagement

  18. What is Student Engagement? …the amount of time and energy students invest in meaningful educational practices …in other words, institutional practices and student behaviors that are highly correlated with student learning and retention Community College Survey of Student Engagement

  19. SENSE:A Tool for Strengthening Student Success SENSE provides data that • focus on first impressions, entering processes, classroom experiences and other special topics • are grounded in research about what works to retain and support entering students • identify and help colleges learn from practices that engage entering students, and • identify areas for improvement Imagine Success!
