4:15-4:45 Strategic Plan Goal Progress
 Carolyn Arnold of Institutional Research (IR) presented the big picture in
tracking our progress on our Strategic Plan Goal
 Our Strategic Plan Goal has two parts:
o Are we increasing our number of students to achieve their goal in
a reasonable time
o Clarifying pathways and providing information and support
 Whether we increase the numbers is measured by IR
 First, we are increasing the number and percentage of full-time students,
which is a strategic initiative to help goal completion.
 Counseling services has increased for the part-time student, two evenings
counseling offices are open and online services for appointments also
increasing advertising online classes

 Did we increase the number? It is not just one number so need to look at
each group and how they are doing on the English and Math milestones.
We are following four groups with Transfer/degree goals – Laser (FT)
College, Laser (FT) Basic Skills, Seeker (PT) College, and Seeker (PT) Basic
Skills. The students in the Basic Skills Groups are designated as Basic
Skills based on their English assessment only.
 For these four groups, English milestones are increasing, but only Laser
full-time groups are increasing their Math milestones, while other groups
just stayed steady.
o Math changed their courses where they offer courses for 3 units
instead of 5 units, courses they offered were 5 units to put them
in the transfer math but maybe with this change to 3 units this
will help with the numbers for the other Math courses
 Peek at Fall 2015 cohort:
o Basic skills full-time increased enrollments in English, but parttime dropped a little.
o Math enrollments up, may be good for the future
 See Presentation attached for more detail.
