LPC Student Demographics and Outcomes Data Prepared by the LPC Office of Institutional Research and Planning December 2009 Dr. Amber Machamer
LPC Student Demographics and Outcomes Data • Become statistically familiar with our students • Sources • Preparation • Demographics/background characteristics
Understanding Data Limitations • Mostly Self-Reported Data • From application or Survey • Fall 2009 Data is not Final or Census….it’s an “M” run so it’s not a true comparison to other semesters
Summary • Student Demographics • LPC has a large proportion of “traditional” students (young, transfer directed, full-time) • Student Preparation • High school students expect high quality education for transfer and workforce training • But also need remedial academic and leaning skills support
Shifting Forces: Nature of Learning Traditional • Instructor provides Information • Student responsible for mastery Millenial • Students have access to information • Students expect instructor to help them master the information Instructor as source of information Instructor as learning coach
Shifting Forces: Nature of Learning Instructor is valued as source of information Instructor valued as learning coach What would this mean for professional development, delivery methods, curriculum, pedagogy, classroom management?
