  3. Presentation Overview The Future of California Community College Education Discussion Item One – Phase 1A Placeholder for text Discussion Item Two – Phase 2A Placeholder for text Discussion Item Three – Phase 3A Placeholder for text Math Faculty Inquiry Teams Innovative Partner Opportunities

  4. AACC – 21st Century Commission on the Future of Community Colleges • Reclaiming the American Dream • Redesign the students educational experience • Reinvent institutional roles • Reset the system

  5. Redesign Student’s Educational Experiences • College Preparedness: The future will require community colleges to work more closely with K-12 to align expectations, curriculum and to create clear pathways. LB College Promise • Completion: The future will require that community colleges dramatically increase completion rates. Expect that $$ will be tied to outcomes – get ready now. SB 1456 requires the establishment of a scorecard which sets in motion outcomes funding. • Close the skills gap. Latino’s, African Americans, first generation students – we must do better for our future.

  6. Reinvent Institutional Roles • Refocus the community college mission • Collaboration: Among colleges, universities and with philanthropy, government and private sector. Lumina, Gates, Department of Labor, White House Initiative on Excellence in Education, Goldman Sachs, etc. • Student Success Task Force Recommendations

  7. Reset the System • Funding: The levels and how we are funded will change. Outcomes will be incorporated both at state and federal level. • Student Support: State aid will include incentives for making academic progress • Transparency & Accreditation: More reliance on data to demonstrate outcomes. More public information to inform consumers of higher education

  8. Innovation • Basic Skills/Developmental Ed • CTE Certification • Khan Academy Model – Flipping the Classroom • Placement: Alternative Methods: LBCC Alternative Placement Model

  9. Crystal Ball • Funding will be tied to outcomes – get ready! • More accountability • Mandated collaboration with K-12 and CSU. More of the SB 1440 model • Economic and workforce development – Its about jobs not Big Bird

  10. Courageous Conversations

  11. Background and Overview of the Project • Part of LACCD’s Achieving the Dream initiative • Engage Faculty (and Chairs) • Leverage Institutional Research and Information Technology • Use Data to Improve Student Success • Analyze Cohorts and Pathways • Impact of Exit Points • Impact of “3 strikes rule” on colleges • Evaluate Student Success Interventions • District office as catalyst for faculty team collaboration, including • Led by District Math Council • Involved the Academic Senate • College math departments and Student Success teams • State-wide 3CSN, hosted by LACCD • Related resources and expertise • Tom Carey, San Diego State University

  12. Math Faculty Inquiry Teams • Target Outcomes (from LACCD Math Summit, May 18 2012) • Analysis of data on student success in Developmental Math (Algebra) • Identify requirements critical to improving student success • Design intervention strategies: • • new or modified pathways and courses, • • class scheduling, support services, etc. • Schedule pilot offerings in Spring 2013 • Analysis of Spring 2013 results and plans to revise/extend/scale up

  13. Math Faculty Inquiry Teams (continued) • Each college has a “refrigerator door” in our shared online workspace • Each team member follows progress and provides feedback for other colleges • Over time, new online boards emerge for topics of shared interest • We will move to a more powerful platform (with potential as 3CSN regional network) • We also plan to collect exemplary classroom practices and learning resources

  14. The Way Forward • Spring 2013 • Launch the pilots (compressed and accelerated pathways) • Documentation of Efforts • Repository of Adaptations/Case Studies • Achieving the Dream Reports • Fall 2013 • Math Faculty Teaching & Learning Academy • Submit presentation proposals • AMATYC, CMC3, and MAA (Math Conferences) • Strengthening Student Success Conference • AtD DREAM Institute

  15. Innovative Partner Opportunities • California Community Colleges Today • 112 Community Colleges, each usually acting as a stand-alone purveyor of programs • Routine duplication of programs and services within Districts and regions • Incentive to add centers and colleges instead of sharing resources and programs • Community need for college is still based on face-to-face classrooms and 30 mile driving model

  16. Innovative Partner Opportunities (continued) • Wisconsin Experience • Northcentral Technical College (NTC) – 6,000 square mile region in Wausau, WI • NTC – a primary campus and 4 regional sites • 16 community colleges state-wide system • BadgerNet used to connect high schools, technical colleges, and University of WI Centers • Partnering was encouraged and expected • Example of Partnering: Dental Hygiene partnership between multiple colleges and two states

  17. Innovative Partner Opportunities (continued) • Santa Rosa Junior College Partnering Options • Programs:  Paralegal and Psych Tech • Partner Institutions Involved:  Sonoma Statue University (SSU), Napa Valley College (NVC), SRJC • Genesis:  SSU discontinued its paralegal program • NVC and SRJC had some elements of a paralegal program • Due to budget constraints, adding new programs for either community college was difficult • NVC and SRJC had full Psych Tech programs but, due to retirements at SRJC and downturn in hiring by local employer, an opportunity to eliminate program presented itself • NVC had several full time faculty in Psych Tech and local employer still hiring • Solution:  SRJC eliminated Psych Tech program and referred all interested students to NVC  • NVC maintained the relationship with local employer for a greatly reduced hiring and internship program, still meeting all regional needs for Psych Techs  • NVC eliminated its Paralegal program and referred all students to SRJC • SRJC hired adjunct faculty from SSU to teach the Paralegal Studies • program

  18. Innovative Partner Opportunities (continued) • Programs: Respiratory Therapy • Partner Institutions Involved: SRJC, Napa Valley College (NVC) • Genesis: Too few students to support an ongoing program • Solution: All prerequisites taken at SRJC • Lectures are via real time interactive television from Napa Valley College and viewed at SRJC • Lab assistant who is a respiratory therapist present in the interactive smart room • Labs are at Napa Valley College • Clinicals are done at local hospitals

  19. Innovative Partner Opportunities (continued) • Programs:  EMC: Advanced EMT • Partner Institutions involved:  SRJC, Mendocino ROP, possibly Mendocino Community • College • Genesis: Sonoma and Mendocino counties have large rural areas supported by volunteer • first responders. One way to improve ALS coverage is to train EMTs to the Advanced • level.   • Advanced EMT (AEMT) training is expensive. Mendocino County had a Paramedic • training program but discontinued it due to cost. With the loss of the Paramedic • program in Mendocino, the ability to provide structure and support for an AEMT training program was lost.   • SRJC was looking for ways to better serve the training needs of EMS providers from the northern CA counties that could not provide for their own training needs. • Solution: SRJC developed a hybrid online course for AEMT • Mendocino ROP and Mendocino College will offer and support the laboratory and clinical components of the course for Mendocino County residents.  • SRJC will offer and support the laboratory and clinical components of the course for • Sonoma County residents.  Students from both counties will enroll in the online • component of the course through SRJC. • Outcomes:  By partnering, SRJC, Mendocino ROP and Mendocino College met the • training needs for limited ALS EMS (AEMT) providers in rural areas • while remaining within budgetary parameters.

  20. Innovative Partner Opportunities (continued) • Designing the Future • Regionalization to cut costs and better serve students and communities • Partnerships between community colleges, CSUs, private schools, K-12 and businesses are all options • Use technology to bridge “distance” • Don’t wait until it’s mandated • Lead the charge!
