CCCCO Integrated Program Redesign Presented by Jeff Spano

CCCCO Integrated Program Redesign Presented by: Jeff Spano, Dean, Institutional Effectiveness November 28, 2016

Integrated Program Redesign • Student Success and Support Program (SSSP), Student Equity Program (SEP), and Basic Skills Initiative (BSI): – share a common goal of helping students achieve their educational objectives in greater numbers and rates – focus on closing the achievement gap across student groups • Despite common goals, the three programs were designed and often operate in silos 2

Integrated Program Redesign • Results in: – A complex administrative structure for both the CCCCO and colleges – Difficulty for colleges to employ integrated planning in implementing programs in ways that best serve students 3

Integrated Program Redesign • The Chancellor’s Office recognized: – That colleges are experiencing “initiative fatigue, ” and – The need to redesign SSSP, SEP and BSI into a more cohesive and integrated model 4

The CCCCO Requests a PRT • The Chancellor’s Office submitted a Letter of Interest to Santa Clarita CCD in January 2016, requesting an IEPI Partnership Resource Team (PRT) to review and assess CCCCO integration and alignment of: • Student Success and Support Program • Student Equity Program • Basic Skills Initiative 5

Partnership Resource Team (PRT) • A PRT is a group of subject-matter experts from within the CCC system who volunteer to provide technical assistance to colleges, districts and centers. 6

CCCCO PRT Members • Brian King (Chancellor, Los Rios CCD) • Mandy Davies (VP Student Services, Sierra College) • Barbara Mc. Neice-Stallard (Director of Research, Mt. San Antonio College) • Jane Patton (Professor Emeritus, Mission College) • Stephanie Dumont (Faculty, Golden West College) • Ron Gerhard (VC Finance & Administration, San Francisco CCD) • Louise Jaffe (Trustee, Santa Monica CCD) • Jane Saldana-Talley (VP, Petaluma Campus, Santa Rosa Junior College) 7

Key Features of CCCCO Innovation and Effectiveness Plan • Identify staffing resources to carry out the SSSP, SEP and BSI program redesign • Suspend for one year the required program plan requirements for SSSP, SEP and BSI • Support a culture shift at the CCCCO from compliance toward expanded technical assistance • Pursue better alignment in data reporting across programs and expanded support in data use 8

Key Objectives/Principles of CCCCO Integrated Program Redesign • Leverage program resources to increase student success • Promote integrated planning • Increase flexibility • Increase efficiency by reducing admin. burdens • Focus on program results • Expand technical assistance to districts/colleges related to effective practices 9

Redesign Process • Beginning with Version 1. 0 • An aggressive goal of a new integrated model for the 2017 -18 academic year, rather than wait another year • Separate Ed. Code and title 5 regs. remain in effect for each program. Over time, the CCCCO intends to propose changes to Ed. Code and title 5 to better align SSSP, SEP and BSI • Version 1. 0 is just the beginning • Future versions will further refine integration model 10

Next Steps • Develop prototype for integrated planning, reporting and financial requirements • Vet prototype with stakeholder groups for feedback and refine based on input • Share new program framework (planning templates and guidance) with districts and colleges • Further refine Version 1. 0 and begin developing Version 2. 0 11

Next Steps • Identify and craft needed changes to Ed. Code and title 5 • Identify strategies to support districts and colleges in successful implementation of the integrated program model • Future Projects: – Integrate additional programs into integrated model – Expand technical assistance and prof. development 12
