The DCCCD Student Success Pledge
and Commitment
We pledge to provide access to outstanding,
educational opportunities for all of our students.
We are dedicated to the success of our students,
since their success is critical to the prosperity of
our communities, our state, our nation, and the
global community of which all people are
members.
Chancellor’s Idea Sparks #7
Student Success Pledge and
Commitment Continued
We acknowledge that faculty voices must
advocate for innovation and support the
achievement of their students. We recognize
that in order to meet these goals we must
commit to the pursuit of teaching excellence,
demonstrate intentionality, transparency and
effectiveness in our pedagogy, and finally,
exhibit passion for the classroom experience.
Chancellor’s Idea Sparks #7
Student Success Pledge and
Commitment Continued
We pledge to work for the good of the “whole”
student. We acknowledge that developmental
education cannot cure the multiple contributors to
student failure, including insufficient student
development prior to college enrollment, poverty,
discrimination and lack of social support, and yet
affirm that informed pedagogy can help students
overcome barriers and achieve deeper learning.
Chancellor’s Idea Sparks #7
Student Success Pledge and
Commitment Continued
WE FURTHER PLEDGE TO:
• Keep student success at the forefront of our practice.
• Investigate through evidentiary means the success of
our activities in the classroom and share the results of
this assessment,
• Reflect upon our own teaching practices in
conversation with other developmental education
professionals, and
• Pledge to advance pedagogy as an important part of
the profile of existing and future faculty members.
