  2. Overview CCSSE: What is it? MVC Cohort & Comparison Groups Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice Educational Support Full-time vs Part-time Students CCFSSE Using CCSSE Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  3. CCSSE: What is it? The CCSSE survey instrument captures student engagement as a measure of institutional quality. Student engagement, or the amount of time and energy that students invest in meaningful educational practices, is the foundation for CCSSE’s work. Community College Leadership Program at UT-Austin CCSSE validation research shows that CCSSE is measuring institutional practices and student behaviors that matter Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  4. CCSSE: What is it? A Tool for Improvement - CCSSE helps us: 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 (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  5. CCSSE: MVC Cohort - 688 Students Representative sample of 10% of Spring 2008 credit students 38% - Native language is not English 39% - Fathers are not HS graduates 58% - Major source to pay for college is their own income/savings Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  6. CCSSE: Comparison Groups • The 2008 CCSSE Cohort: 343,000 community college students from 585 institutions US and Canada • HSI/HACU Cohort: 16,800 students from 26 community colleges in seven states • Other DCCCD Cohort: 5,600 students from BHC, CVC, ECC, EFC, NLC, & RLC • MVC 2005 Cohort: 496 students Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  7. CCSSE 2008 Benchmark Findings

  8. CCSSE Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice The five CCSSE benchmarks include 38 engagement items from the CCSSE survey: Reflect many of the most important aspects of the student experience Practices and behaviors are powerful contributors to effective teaching, learning, student success/retention Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  10. CCSSE Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice Benchmark Score Calculation: Survey items are rescaled so they are all on same scale of 0 to 1 Scores for all benchmark items are averaged Standardized so that the national cohort respondents’ scores have a mean of 50 MVC’s benchmark scores are relative to the national cohort Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  11. CCSSE Benchmarks of Effective Educational Practice CCSSE Mountain View College 2008 Benchmark Scores 50 is the national average Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  20. 2008 CCSSE Full-time vs. Part-time Student Findings

  21. Full-time vs Part-time Students Findings • In General: • Full-time students are more engaged in their college education experiences than part-time students • Therefore, full-time students’ outcomes are more successful than those of part-time students Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  29. Using CCSSE Results

  30. Understand the Facts • 21% of MVC part-time students versus 31% of MVC full-time students say they often or very often talk about career plans with an instructor or advisor. • 34% of part-time students versus 27% of full-time students say they never have those conversations.

  32. Using CCSSE To Assess, Inform, and Act • Identify key areas (e.g., the areas identified in your strategic plan). • Start with the benchmarks. • Look at individual survey items. • Identify the least engaged student groups. • Involve the college community. Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  33. Using CCSSE To Assess, Inform, and Act • Design strategies and set targets. • Share the data and plans to address them. • Track progress by measuring outcomes. • Increase efforts that are working. Modify or discontinue those that are not. • Repeat. Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) – MVC Spring 2008 Results

  34. Conclusion Mountain View College in Spring 2008: Overall, students are more engaged than they were in Spring 2005 Part-time students are considerably less engaged than full-time students Overall, students and faculty have different perceptions about student engagement The most important comparison: where we are now, compared with where we want to be.
