Linking APRUS to Strategic Goals and Planning A College Conversation with Chancellor Cox November 12, 2009
UH System Strategic Goals • Educational Effectiveness and Student Success • A learning Research and Service Network • A model Local, Regional and Global University • Investment in Faculty, Staff, Students and Their Environment • Resources and Stewardship
So how are we doing? Enrollment • Of our 243 additional students (22%): • 33% are through increased persistence from spring 09 (lower than the system) • 14% student increase in recent high school grads • 60% are returning students and other adults (higher than the system) • International students increased from 3 to 7
So how are we doing?SLOs and Assessment • 75% courses with identified SLOs • 15% of Courses with regular SLO assessment • 92% of Programs with SLOs • 22% Programs with SLOs assessment • 89% Degrees with identified SLOs • 21% with regular SLO assessment
So how are we doing?Developmental Intervention • A Successful Learning Community increased completion rates to 65% English and 75% HWST • Peer tutors in gatekeeper courses increased success rate or NH students from 54% to 83% • NH students Math/science lab students had a 50% success rate.
So how are we doing?Progress towards UH goals • Goal of 80% success rate for Dev. Ed. Students who complete one course by 2015. Current rate in 2007/08 is about 60% • Goal of full-time students who complete at least 20 credits with GPA of >= 2 by end of first year 48%. Current percentage is 41%
Educational Effectiveness and Student Success KCC Priorities • Student Retention/Success of All Students and Particularly • Native Hawaiian Students • Remedial/Developmental Students • Non-traditional Students in Career and Technical Programs • Increased Completion of Degrees, Certificates, and Licensure • Increased Transfer Rate
Educational Effectiveness and Student Success • Relevant Curriculum Development • Sustainability/Green Jobs • Health • STEM • DOE-KCC English Alignment • Distance Education
Educational Effectiveness and Student Success • Completion of • Course and Program Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) • Course Action Forms (CAFs) • Assessment Activities and Analysis
A Learning, Research and Service Network • Increased Job Placement and/or Performance through • Revised or New Curriculum • Better Coordination with Business and Industry
A Model Local, Regional and Global University • Fostering Global Understanding and Intercultural Competence • Increased Enrollment and Success of International Students
Investment in Faculty, Staff, Students and their Environment • Professional Development Directed to Any of the Above Goals • Enriching Student Experience, Particularly Directed to Any of the Above Goals • Increasing the Efficiency, Effectiveness and Sustainability of the KCC Environment
Resources and Stewardship • Reduce Deferred Maintenance • Address Health and Safety Issues • Promote Sustainability
So how can impact these goals?Example #1 • The National Conversation tells us that faculty-student interaction and student cohorts are important factors in student success. A learning community addresses these factors. • I teach English. I want to try a learning community with Hawaiian Studies to increase faculty-student interaction, student-student interaction. and linked content. In order to develop the curriculum, I request reassigned time in the APRU
So how can I impact these goals? • I run the pilot and compare results with how my non-learning community class performed. • Based on the analysis of the results, I continue, revise (maybe another APRU item), or abandon. • I have probably impacted the overall student success rate.
So how can I impact these goals?Example #2 • I have done work at an institution in India. • I decide to form a partnership in my area of Hospitality and Tourism with that institution • I request funding for a funds to hold a virtual conference with appropriate faculty and staff at each institution through an APRU. • At the conference, we develop a program that brings students from India to KCC for summer credit courses in Hospitality and Tourism and English.
So how can I impact these goals?Example #3 • I work in Culinary and a low-impact, sustainable operation is important to me. • I request funds to establish a high-temperature composting system through the APRU • The results of this system are that there is less waste, and the College has generated some of the compost necessary for the grounds. • I can document the decline in waste volume and increase in usable compost.
