  14. SampleDepartmentsthatImprovedStudentAcademicSuccess: ThreeYears of Gains!

  15. CriticalChallengesWeFace Our Student Success losses outweighed our gains last year causing our overall success rate to drop 1%. • 48 Departments either stayed at the same success level or decreased successful class seats over the same period. • Our collective challenge is to mobilize our resources through redeployment and resource development to continue to work vigorously within and beyond the classroom to support student success here at Santa Ana College.

  16. Upon examination of SAC’s AUDACIOUS student success goals, to quote one of my favorite mathematician/philosophers, We are notthereYET!

  19. Student Success

  20. Method • THE SURVEY • Planning • The group was challenged to consider this approach when planning the fall Student Resource Fair. • Eddie led our group in collaboration with professors at SAC. • Development of the tool • The survey was 4-pages long. • It contained: demographic questions; 18 Likert-scale questions and 2 open/ended questions. • Questions selected were aimed at whether students use of resources on campus impacted their GPA.

  21. Method • PROCEDURE • We had a team of students in the committee who actually sought other students and conducted the survey; mostly in their General Education classrooms • Distributed nearly 1,000 • 560 participants completed the survey

  22. Population n=560

  23. Hypotheses Is higher utilization of campus resources related to higher G.P.A.? Do students think the school is doing enough to help them succeed? Are students doing enough on their own to succeed? Is having a graduation goal related to student success (GPA)?

  24. Data Analysis • Utilization of campus resources and student success • N=362 • Correlation: -0.12 (weak correlation) • Is the school doing enough? • Average: 8.13 • Standard deviation: 1.28 • Most students agree that the school is doing their part to help them succeed.

  25. Data Analysis • Are Students doing enough? • Average: 7.29 • Standard deviation: 2.01 • Most students agree that they’re doing their part to succeed. • Graduation goals and GPA? • n=362 • Correlation: 0.11 (weak correlation)

  26. Additional Findings • Students expressed difficulty in meeting deadlines. • There was a statistical difference between part-time and full-time students with FT students having a higher GPA. • There was a positive correlation between the number of semesters at SAC and a higher GPA. Number of units and GPA.

  27. Conclusion • Emphasize planning for deadlines. Be explicit. • Include some of these questions in the district’s Student Satisfaction Survey so that more students participate. • A future survey should seek to learn about the experience of students transferring from the School of Continuing Education and that of other special populations. • But from our results - it’s really what happens in the classroom that more directly affects GPA.

  28. Increasing Student Success and Learning Outcomes: Framework for the Conversation • Principles of good practice. • Matter of commitment. • It is a participative and iterative process. Making our college grounded in our mission and goals with intentional outcomes for students.

  29. Where We Go From Here • Emerging from one of the most challenging periods in our system’s history • We are the architects of SAC’s second hundred years. • More students can and must succeed and persist. • We are at the forefront of successful practices and must continue to refine, scale and continue to grow. • What follows today: college-wide division dialogues where all faculty will be able to further discuss the scope of what was presented today and frame the immediate next steps in support of student success and learning at SAC. (NOTE LOGISTICS) Thank you—colleagues, panelists, students!
