  1. Basic skills students & career technical education CTE/BSI Collaborative

  2. Areas of Focus • Early Childhood Education • CSIS • Computer Information Systems • Computer Science • Computer Software Development • Communication • Film Studies • Journalism • Radio & TV • Design Technology • Digital Media • Graphic Arts & Design

  3. Outline of Data Reviewed • Awards – Degrees & Certificates • Time to Completion of Awards • Basic Skills Status

  4. Awards – Degrees

  5. Awards – Certificates

  6. Time to Completion Calculation Term earned award –First term at SMC = #Terms to award completion • Summer/winter terms are not included in the count

  7. Time to Completion by Department

  8. Time to Completion Follow-Up • On average, students are taking approximately 4 years or 8 semesters to complete their degrees and certificates; • The data reveal that there is no significant difference in time between degree completion and certificate completion, even if degrees require more units; • … Therefore, what percentage of students are earning degrees and certificate at the same time (within the same department)?

  9. Time to Completion Follow-Up

  10. Basic Skills Status • Placement results • Number of basic skills courses attempted • % completed English/ESL, math

  11. Placement Results • Best placement score • Cohort: received award in 2009-10 • Unduplicated student count by award type and department

  12. Percentage Taking Placement Test:English/ESL Percentage of Students Who Took English/ESL Placement

  13. Percentage Taking Placement Test: Math Percentage of Students Who Took Math Placement

  14. Placement Results • Among students who took the placement, what percentage of students placed into basic skills?

  15. Placement Results Findings • There is no difference in % of students who took the English/ESL placement exams by award type (AA vs. Certs) • Disproportionately more students who earned an AA took the math placement (83%) when compared with certificate earners (66%) • A larger percentage of certificate earners placed into basic skills when compared with AA earners

  16. Average Number of Basic Skills Courses Attempted • Basic skills course was defined as any English or math course below transfer level or any ESL course below English 1/ESL 25 (including support courses)

  17. Average Number of Basic Skills Courses Attempted • Although the placement data revealed that a larger proportion of certificate earners were placed into basic skills, AA earners were enrolled in more basic skills courses at SMC, on average.

  18. Completion of English/ESL & Math • Completion was defined as earning an C/CR or better in ENGL 1 or AA-level math or higher • Examined certificate earners only because ENGL 1 and AA math are requirements for the AA

  19. Completion of English/ESL & Math • A little more than one third of certificate earners had completed ENGL 1 • Fewer students (about one quarter) who had earned a certificate completed an AA level math course or higher • The findings should be interpreted with the knowledge that some students earn a certificate and AA at the same time
