CEOs on the Goal of Student Success. At that conference, the WHCCD Board decided to make a change with regard to student success.
• The new faculty contract is reflective of our intent to have a more focused response to student success.

Initiative of 2012.
• We introduced the topic of a revised statement of the District’s mission, vision, and goals at the Board meeting in June 2013. Proposed changes were subsequently discussed at
Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet meetings in July and August.

“We are in the middle of a Copernican revolution as it becomes even more apparent that the learner constitutes the center of the universe, and that teaching no longer drives learning; instead, teaching responds to and supports learning.”
- Michael G. Moore, Distance Education: A Systems View of Online Learning. 2013

“It is no imaginary dream to picture the school of tomorrow as an entirely different institution from that of today, because of the use of radio in teaching.”

As a District, we managed the fiscal crisis of the state in a way that puts us in a better place than we were when the crisis began.
