1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When
you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated
positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
With the money we purchased an ELMO for our instructors to use in classrooms that have not been
updated to a smart classroom. The document reader allowed instructors to use visual aids to enhance
explanations to increase student’s comprehension. We also purchased some geoboards for our blind
students to use for graphing in our algebra classes.
We used the Basic Skills money to pay for our adjunct faculty to participate in our Math faculty inquiry
group meet where we discuss and share pedagogical problems and solutions. This group was formed as
a response to our CLO closing the loop discussion.
I am asking for extra money to pay for a retreat for our faculty. We use this time for updating faculty on
changes, for training, and for discussions of current issues in the discipline.
2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student
learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?
