Competitive Preference PrioritiesCompetitive Preference Priorities Priority 1: Increasing Postsecondary Success –
Increase the # & % of high-need students who persist in and complete college or other postsecondary education and training.
Priority 2: Enabling More Data-Based Decision-Making – Collect, analyze, and use high-quality and timely data on improving student outcomes related to enrollment, persistence, and completion and leading to career success.
Priority 3: Improving Productivity – Significantly increase efficiency in the use of time, staff, money, or other resources while improving student learning or other educational outcomes. Projects may include innovative and sustainable uses of technology, modification of school schedules, use of open educational resources, or other strategies.
Academic Programs WeaknessesAcademic Programs Weaknesses
Incoming students under-prepared for college-level coursework and unfamiliar with the college-going environment
Some groups exhibit particular academic behaviors, such as not assessing, not enrolling in Basic skills, and attending part-time, have consistently demonstrated lower outcomes
Students have difficulty navigating the college environment to achieve their educational goals
Time to completion (or number completing) is severely prolonged (limited)
Academic and student support service faculty and staff lack opportunities for collaboration
Persistent achievement gaps require new professional development opportunities to address equity issues
Institutional Management Institutional Management WeaknessesWeaknesses
Lack of coordination and integration of successful student and academic support services
Lack of efficient organization, effective targeting of student needs and coordinated service delivery hinder the college’s ability to quickly assess and address student needs
Improving management weaknesses requires a college-wide commitment to schedule time for opportunities to collaborate, besides College Hour
Fiscal Stability Weakness & Fiscal Stability Weakness & Sustainability Plan Sustainability Plan
Lack of stable funding due to historic California state budget crisis have led to cuts and layoffs for the past 4 years
Cutbacks have provided the college an opportunity to rebuild, reorganize and institutionalize what is developed
Increased student retention resulting from the successful implementation of our grant proposal would generate increased state revenues, allowing us to maintain our efforts beyond grant funding
Decreased time to completion would attract and make room for additional new students
Ability to leverage funding from other funding sources (HPN, TRIO, Special Programs) supports institutionalization
