This is the tenth in a series of briefings on the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE). As previously reported, CCSSE, through the use of five benchmarks of effective educational practice, measures the level of student engagement in the learning process. The five benchmarks are: active and collaborative learning, student effort, academic challenge, student-faculty interaction, and support for learners.
In this issue we would like to share some statistics on the different perceptions of faculty and students regarding their interactions and work habits.
Announcing the Creation of the Student Engagement-CCSSE Awards
As an additional incentive for the entire PVCC community to actively encourage student engagement, the CCSSE Awards have been created. If you submitted an action plan last fall, you can win a $250 stipend to purchase resources for teaching and learning. If you had not previously submitted an action plan, you can win an award of a $100 stipend for any new ides you come up with this semester. All plans need to be implemented and evaluated before April 14, 2006. You can submit new ideas using the Action Plan template found at: http://www.pvc.maricopa.edu/ccsse/action.html.
Criteria
Adapt information from the CCSSE findings and put a plan in to practice spring 2006 (prior to the April 14 deadline).
