Vision
Attendees discussed a vision for the developmental education
program. Ideas included the following:
State of the art developmental education program for returning
students
Improved success rate for developmental students
Enhance the quality of student life
Enrich the classroom
College-wide impact
Enhance the education program
After some discussion, the following vision statement was
developed for developmental/transitional education: The vision
of transitional education at CACC is to improve the college-wide
learning experience by enhancing success opportunities for
underprepared students.
The term “transitional education” was used, but members
discussed the language problem. The term “transitional” is more
appealing to students, but the word “developmental” is used in
all course descriptions as required by State Board policy. No
ideal solution has been reached.
The following vision statement was developed for the QEP: CACC
will collectively design and implement a process to enhance
student learning.
Goals statements will be developed by subcommittees. Goals
statements to be used in one or both lists include the
following:
· Create a centralized transitional education division
· Test incoming students to determing learning styles and place
students accordingly
· Develop a monthly newsletter to disseminate information to the
college at large
· Provide learning styles training for college personnel
· Establish an appropriate budget
· Provide learning styles training for students
· Incorporate various success initiatives
· Enhance College facilities to create areas devoted to student
success
