May/June 2015 ACCCA Reports | 1

With the publication of California’s Student Success Scorecards, community colleges are facing greater pressure than ever to increase student completion. In particular the scorecards spotlight the need to improve outcomes for students classified as “unprepared” for college, those who are required to take remedial coursework in ESL, English, and math. The most recent statewide scorecard shows that just 41% of these students went onto complete a degree, certificate, or transfer-related outcome within six years, compared to 70% of students classified as “college ready.” Unfortunately, the problem is not limited to a small number of students. Statewide, more than 80% of incoming students who take an assessment test are required to enroll in remedial courses. In order to improve our overall completion rates, we need to improve our results with these students.

This is the problem the California Acceleration Project (CAP) is working to address. In partnership with the 3CSN

professional development network, CAP supports California community colleges to rethink their approach to remediation so that more students successfully complete transferable English and math requirements, a critical early momentum point toward longer-term transfer and degree completion. 59 colleges are now part of CAP’s community of practice, a year-long professional development program that supports teachers to offer redesigned, accelerated pathways in English and math for under-prepared students.

The RP Group evaluated outcomes from the first 16 community colleges piloting accelerated remediation with CAP and documented “large and robust” increases in student completion of college-level courses among accelerated students. In effective models of accelerated English, students’ odds of completing a college-level course were 2.3 times greater than in traditional remediation; in accelerated math pathways, their odds of completing college-level math were 4.5 times greater. In examining various student subgroups, the researchers found that all students benefitted from effective accelerated pathways – including all racial/ethnic groups, all placement levels, low-income students, ESL students, students with disabilities, students with low GPAs, and students who hadn’t graduated from high school.

After the release of the full study, researchers Craig Hayward and Terrence Willett presented what they called “DVD extras” of the evaluation. They examined raw descriptive data from the first 8 CAP math colleges (no statistical controls) to try to understand the equity impact of acceleration, a critical question given that Black and Hispanic students are disproportionately placed into lower math levels statewide. The question: When remediation was redesigned and accelerated, were more African-American and Hispanic students making it through transferable math courses?

Across eight colleges, the answer was an unequivocal yes. All racial and ethnic groups had higher completion in accelerated statistics pathways than in traditional remediation, and achievement gaps between groups narrowed dramatically. African Americans’ completion of transfer-level math quadrupled, and completion among Hispanic students more than doubled. In traditional remediation, Asian students had the best outcomes, completing transferable math courses at more than double the rate of African American students. In CAP statistics pathways, the gap between Asian and African-American students was completely eliminated. An important factor to emphasize here is that there were no changes to the college-level Statistics courses. Students took courses of exactly the same rigor as they had in the past, but the accelerated pathway enabled many more of them to successfully complete it.

In the past, community college practitioners might look at data on the poor outcomes among students in remediation and feel hopeless about our ability to do anything about them. But it’s clear from the research into CAP – and other innovative approaches nationally – that by changing how we approach incoming community college students, we can help many more of them build momentum toward their longer term educational goals. n

May/June 2015 ACCCA Reports | 3

At the Association of Chief Business Officers (ACBO) conference in Santa Rosa last month, two chief administrators of the IEPI program presented a strong case for the Initiative and its Partnership Resource Team (PRT) approach to ensuring effective institutions.

Theresa Tena, Vice Chancellor of Institutional Effectiveness at the Chancellor’s Office, provided an overview and timeline of the Initiative’s implementation to CBOs from districts throughout California. She was joined by Barry Gribbons, Deputy Chancellor at the College of the Canyons, the Initiative’s district partner. Also on the panel were Davit Khachatryan, Vice President of Administrative Services at Irvine Valley College and Mario Rodriguez, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Fiscal Services at the Chancellor’s Office who, along with Tena and Gribbons, serve on the Initiative’s Advisory Committee.

Together they reported on the progress that the Advisory Committee has made in developing the structure behind the Initiative, and the panel shared information about IEPI’s main goal of helping districts and colleges overcome challenges to meeting IE requirements mandated by the California Legislature in 2014.

The Initiative assists districts through deployment of technical assistance via Partnership Resource Teams (PRTs). To express interest in receiving assistance from a PRT, the college or district CEO just submits a brief letter identifying areas of institutional effectiveness on which

the PRT should focus. The Initiative also provides seed grants of up to $150,000 to help implement the college innovation and effectiveness plan developed with assistance from the PRTs.

The Initiative also offers a series of regional workshops throughout the year to promote program and process improvement that can benefit not only districts engaged in the PRT process, but others seeking best practices training for overall institutional effectiveness.

The panel presenting at ACBO were careful to reinforce a set of facts about IEPI:

{Cont inued on Page 4}

IEPI Showing Progress on Implementation— By: Susan Bray

4 | ACCCA Reports May/June 2015

• IEPI is not FCMAT, nor is it a second form of accreditation;

• Partnership Resource Teams are NOT required, it is the choice of the college/district/center;

• The Chancellor’s Office retains responsibility for intervention in EXTREME cases per existing practice;

• IEPI provides human and financial resources to solve problems before they become crises, so that FCMAT, accreditation sanctions and special trustee appointments ultimately become unnecessary; and most importantly,

• IEPI is a tool for districts to bring seasoned experts in, at NO COST, who will work collaboratively with district personnel that YOU select to ignite innovation that benefits your district.

Panelists elaborated on the PRT structure, indicating that districts who choose to take advantage of the opportunity will receive at least three visits from the Team to examine issues articulated by the college and provide guidance and advice on areas such as accreditation; budget, fiscal and

audit issues; integrated planning strategies; board governance and SLO assessment tools and processes.

Partnership Resource Team members are seasoned experts from districts throughout the system who work collaboratively with designated district representatives to understand the issues and develop and implement the college’s Innovation and

Effectiveness Plan. (To volunteer for the pool from which the PRTs are drawn, just complete a survey on your own areas of expertise.) Information obtained by the PRTs from districts is handled with sensitivity, and any IEPI reports required by the Legislature are summative and reflect aggregate progress, not college-specific.

Legislatively required indicators that are intended to assess institutional effectiveness were described, and the IEPI online portal where individual colleges are profiled was shown. The professional development component of IEPI is clearly a primary focus for the Initiative, which is a welcome addition for those of us concerned with improving access to training for administrators.

Tena and Gribbons reinforced that a primary objective of

Official ACCCA 2015Board Election Results

We are pleased to report that the 2015 Board election has concluded and the results are in. Once again, we are fortunate that so many members are eager to get involved in the Association at this level, and their participation is going to be a wonderful addition to our deliberations this year. Each of these new board members will be eligible for a second three year term in 2018.

This year the process of recruiting was enhanced by engaging the assistance of constituent board members. Special thanks go out to Bonnie Ann Dowd, Kimberlee Messina and Kaneesha Tarrant for their help in reaching out to a number of potential candidates and for their part in ensuring a strong ballot.

Without further ado, here are your new members of the ACCCA Board!

In the CEO category, we were fortunate that Willy Duncan, Superintendent/President at the Sierra College chose to run for a second, but non-consecutive, term. As you may recall his first term was followed by four years as a member of the Executive Committee and he never got to run for a second term. ACCCA is no stranger to Willy’s commitment to the Association in the areas of advocacy and legislation affecting community colleges.

Willy told us, “ACCCA is as strong as the members who serve and lead it. The organization

has benefited from an exceptional group of committed educational professionals who volunteer their time and share their expertise to promote their fellow administrators and the community college system as a whole. I would be proud to continue to serve among them.”

Dr. Brian Lofman, Dean of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness at Hartnell College will fill the At-Large seat on the board. He was previously Hartnell’s Accreditation Liaison Officer, and served as Interim Dean of Math, Science, and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Accreditation.

Brian is a strong proponent of ACCCA’s programs. He has participated in Administration 101, and graduated in the 2014-15 class of the Mentor Program. He recently presented on the topic of accreditation and sustainable continuous quality improvement at the 2014 CCLC convention, the 2015 ACCCA Conference, and the 2015 Research & Planning Conference, and a regional training for Board members in the CCLC Excellence in Trusteeship Program.

In his statement of candidacy Brian said, “It is critically important that the pipeline to the highest level administrative positions be strengthened with expanded pools of talented candidates who have the requisite experience and expertise, especially given the apparent increasing shortage of administrators projected to pursue

IEPI is to disseminate and share effective practices for Institutional Effectiveness through professional development programming and partnering with outside organizations. The Initiative is also putting the finishing touches to an online clearinghouse for professional development and training resources.

The panel concluded on a hopeful note with an overview of the May Revision to the Governor’s Budget Proposal as it relates to proposed augmentations specifically to enhance the Initiative. In addition to six new positions at the Chancellor’s Office “to improve student outcomes and promote effective professional, administrative and educational practices at local community colleges,” the May Revise proposes another $3 million for technical assistance teams to expand the colleagues-helping-colleagues model. Another $12 million was set aside for development and dissemination of effective practices (professional development), to significantly increase the number of students achieving their educational goals and ensure that the community college system is operating effectively.

As we look forward to dealing with the “dilemma” of how to spend additional revenues after decades of financial drought that starved innovation, the work of IEPI and our colleagues around the state whose efforts are directed at getting in front of challenges before they become problems is truly a light at the end of the tunnel. n

these positions as we look to the future. I therefore desire to work with the Board to increase focused professional development opportunities available to ACCCA members, affiliated groups and potentially others.”

In the Student Services category, Juan Avalos, Vice President for Student Services of Saddleback College was the chosen candidate. Juan has had a strong affiliation with ACCCA for over ten years and regularly attends ACCCA conferences, has participated in Admin 101 and the ACCCA Mentor Program as a mentor for a number of years.

In his statement of candidacy Juan said, “I currently serve as Vice President for Student Services at Saddleback

College and have over eighteen years of cumulative management experience across four-year private, four-year public, and two-year public institutions. Over the past eleven years, I have provided progressive leadership for the full array of community college Student Service operations, some administrative units, and academic programs. All of the recent policy and programmatic changes our system is currently going through (i.e. Student Success, Student Equity, Career Pathways, Concurrent Enrollment, Accreditation, etc.) will require ACCCA to continue to be at the table and provide informed leadership to policy makers, as well as, engage ACCCA members in robust dialog and necessary training to ensure those in the field have all the necessary tools to successfully implement these critical system-wide changes.”

In the Administrative Services category the members selected Kuldeep Kaur, the CBO at Yuba CCD. Kuldeep was actively recruited for the Board by ACBO member Bonnie Ann Dowd. Kuldeep joined Yuba CCD in 2009 and in her current role is responsible for providing direction and leadership of the business and financial affairs including printing services, Facilities and Maintenance/Operations. She manages

all district financial policies, procedures, and activities, including budget and audit, general accounting, grants and contracts, bond accounting, payroll, investments, banking,

financial aid reporting, purchasing, food services, bookstore, and risk management.

In her statement Kuldeep told us, “I have been in the California community college system for more than 15 years and have the perspective of working at two community college districts with their unique needs and challenges and also at the State Chancellor’s Office. My career path has had me move up the ranks by beginning my career as a Temporary Classified Account Clerk to my current position as Chief Business Officer. I could not have accomplished this without the support of the various professional development and networking opportunities that were available to me; without them, I would not be where I am at in my career. Therefore, I feel that it is time for me to give back to the system that has brought me up the ranks and I feel passionate that it is possible for any individual to attain their goals if given the appropriate opportunities for professional development.”

In the Instructional Services category, Tram Vo-Kumamoto, Vice President of Instruction at Berkeley City College was elected. Tram recently served as Dean of Science and Mathematics at Chabot College and has 20 years of professional experience in a variety of educational systems. She has worked as an educator in early childhood development, the K-12 system, at community colleges and at four-year

universities. Her experience working with a variety of age groups and learning styles has provided her with a wide range of experience and has molded her into an educational leader who creates developmentally appropriate, equitable and integrated educational programs to better serve diverse populations.

In her statement she said, “As a Board member, I will bring to the table over 18 years of experience in the California community colleges. My focus and dedication to our system is evident in the programs and services that I have been able to implement and lead over the years to support student achievement, as well as ensure access and equity. My extensive experience both in student services/matriculation and instructional services provide me with the knowledge and context to be able to engage this work with the college in a matter that balances the strengths and opportunities that each area of the campus provides.”

Join us in welcoming your new board members of the Association! ACCCA Board Members will take their seats at the Annual Retreat in Temecula, June 17-19, 2015 n

Administrators on the Move

8 | ACCCA Reports May/June 2015

ACCCA’s Commission for Finance, Legislation and Advocacy (CFLA) seeks to positively influence actions in Sacramento that result in the crafting of the rules, regulations, policies, and legislation that can either help or hinder us in accomplishing the educational goals of our colleges. A major focus this year is on human resources-related pieces of legislation, many of which would also affect the financial aspects of community colleges. The CFLA has taken positions on the following bills:

• AB 963 (Bonilla)—This bill is CalSTRS’s sponsored legislation to hold harmless those members whose eligibility in the system has come into question. This bill would include as CalSTRS creditable service for the purposes of the Defined Benefit Program, any activities that do not meet the definition of creditable service but were performed for an employer on or before December 31, 2015, and were reported as creditable service to CalSTRS. —ACCCA CFLA Position—SUPPORT

• AB 399 (Ridley-Thomas)—This bill would delete the prohibition on the payment of unemployment benefits to education employees of a public school, other than teachers, researchers, and administrators, as specified, between academic years. The bill would phase in up to eight weeks of benefits available to those specified employees over a four-year time frame. —ACCCA CFLA Position—OPPOSE

• AB 626 (Low)—This bill would, for community

college districts that have not reached the 75% full-time/part-time standard, require expenditures of Student Success and Support Program funds to increase that ratio. The bill would specify purposes for which allocations of these funds could be made by community college districts that had not reached the 75% standard.—ACCCA CFLA Position—OPPOSE

• AB 1010 (Medina)—This bill would require community college districts without a collective bargaining agreement with part-time, temporary faculty in effect as of January 1, 2016, to, on or after January 1, 2016, commence negotiations with the exclusive representatives for part-time, temporary faculty regarding the terms and conditions that would be required by this bill. .—ACCCA CFLA Position—OPPOSE

• SB 373 (Pan)—This bill would set a cap on the number of part-time faculty for each community college district based on the 2014-15 fiscal year, thereby limiting new hires to only full-time faculty until the district reaches a 75% threshold of full-time faculty. This bill would also prohibit new tenure-track faculty from performing overload assignments during their probationary period. —ACCCA CFLA Position—OPPOSE

To stay up to date on these bills and other actions in Sacramento that affect community colleges, make sure to read the weekly Legislative Update and biweekly ACCCA Legislative Bills Report. n
