2011 Student Success Institute

Welcome

The Student Success Institute: Basic Skills Across the Curriculum is designed for all faculty on our California community colleges—not just basic skills instructors. Participants will explore key student success concepts, ask questions, determine paths, share perspectives, and gain new ideas.

Some questions to be explored are:

• How do I know that my model content review is up to date?
• I don't teach basic skills, but I have basic skills students—what are some techniques I can use in my course that will help them be successful?
• What is contextualized learning? Can it be done at my campus? How?

Come to this institute to explore questions with colleagues from other colleges.  Student Success Across the Curriculum is an institute for all faculty! Please join us on February 25 and 26, 2011 at the San Jose Doubletree.

The Basic Skills Committee strongly encourages teams from each college to come and participate in the discussions, learn about different strategies, and share what you are doing. Your students deserve your attendance at this institute.
