Barbara’s thoughts
and observations• Poppy Copy -> 4 strands emphasized it takes a village• BSI
-> brought students with basic skills needs to the forefront & into the public-> encouraged cooperation & creativity between student services & instruction
9
More thinking…• BSI -> brought use of data to forefront -> inspired innovation -> more time thinking about student success -> pilots, pilots, pilots -> educated “us” about needs & value of CTE -> educated “us” about non-credit basic skills
10
What works?• Integrated counseling• Integrated basic skills with CTE• Integrated tutoring
NO MORE SILOS!!
11
How do we decide?• Use data • Increase successful practices• Increase successful programs• Scale up successful practices & programs• Adapt from other colleges• Slow down pilot use … for now
12
Opportunities for improvement
• Instruction & Student Services still compete for funding
• Too many pilots without making decisions
• Put the $$ into programs that work• Clean up CB21 coding
13
A few more opportunities …
• Tendency to stop successful practices when the $$ gets tight
• Tendency to stop professional development when the $$ gets tight
14
… the big one! Students don’t do optional!
