Strengthening
Student Success: Basic Skills and Beyond
Oct 1-3, 2008
Anaheim
Marriott
The conference is tailored to those engaged in the
quest for student success through the assessment of learning and
collaborative inquiry. We are seeking to share teaching strategies,
institutional efforts and assessment methods that have demonstrated success
in increasing student learning. This year’s focus is on strategies that move
students through and beyond basic skills (or pre-collegiate level).
Throughout the strands listed below, we are also looking for
presentations that address several
themes that are integral to student success: examination of equity issues,
professional learning and development, and incorporating student voices in
the improvement process.
The conference is co-sponsored by the Research and
Planning Group of California
(RP Group), Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC), in
collaboration with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching,
California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (Cal-PASS), William and
Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Accreditation Commission for Community and
Junior Colleges (ACCJC).
This conference is aimed at community college faculty
and staff in student services, instruction, and planning, research and
assessment – and their partners (i.e., K-12, university). Presentations
should address assessment practices and how the results are used to improve
teaching and learning in the following ten strands:
- Mathematics
- English
- Reading
- ESL
- Student Services
- Career Technical Education
- SLO and Assessment
- Cal-PASS
- Successful Teaching Strategies and Learning Theory
to Advance Basic Skills
- Student Progression Beyond Basic Skills
