5.
Provide resources and institutionalize those interventions, especially NSO, that are moving the needle of
success. In Process
Place emphasis on improving student success, especially the success of Native Hawaiian students in all
courses. The UHCC strategic plan calls for actions to improve the success of NHs.
Continue to work on Dev math and college-level math courses, especially the learning strategies
employed within these courses, to improve student success and to move students through the Dev math
pathway more expeditiously. In Process
Identify gatekeeper courses at the college and develop a cohort-tracking model to follow students
through course sequences.
Adopt a theme of sustainable, systemic change at scale, as opposed to adding more innovations and
interventions.
Expectations for the next coaches’ visit:

persistence, and completion, accompanied with an analysis of what the remaining barriers are and how
they are going to be addressed. Particular attention should be given to the other gatekeeper courses
(aside from English and math).
