This is the eleventh 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.

Criteria for the Student Engagement Awards


As an additional incentive for the entire PVCC community to actively encourage student engagement, the Student Engagement Awards were created.

Stipends to purchase resources for teaching and learning will be awarded as follows:
  • A $250 stipend will be awarded to each division (3 awards total) and given to the winners chosen from plans submitted by department or plans that were collaborative.
  • A $100 stipend will be awarded to the winner of individually submitted plans.
  • All plans need to be implemented and evaluated before April 25, 2006*

For your Action Plan Report, use the following outline (one page or less):

Reporting Outline

* Summary of proposed plan.
  • What did you learn? (Include challenges, what others can learn from you)
  • How was student engagement enhanced?
