  11. Instructor Expectations & Student Behaviors Community College Survey of Student Engagement

  12. Discussion • PT students more likely to be taught by PT faculty. • Students appear to perceive that faculty have lower expectations than faculty report • FT students tend to have higher engagement scores, but mixed results with regard to specific behaviors. • Faculty expectations related to student engagement and behaviors.

  13. Not critical of PT faculty • Institutional environments and procedures that may contribute to the differences between PT and FT faculty. • PT faculty not required to have office hours • PT faculty do not have offices • PT faculty not required to participate in professional development that FT faculty attend • Ask yourself: At my campus is there a group of courses continuously with low passing/completion? Who teaches these courses? Community College Survey of Student Engagement
