Application Workshop - Community Colleges Basic Skills and Student Outcomes Transformation Program

Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) Presents: Application Workshop - Community Colleges Basic Skills and Student Outcomes Transformation Program

Thursday, February 11, 2016

Clovis Community College (Herndon Campus) (390 W. Fir Avenue, Clovis, CA 93611)

9:30am - 4:30pm

What will be covered?

The 2015-16 state budget provides the California Community College system with $60 million in one-time funds for campuses to adopt or expand evidence-based practices that boost student success. These funds are available to colleges that articulate a compelling plan for adopting or expanding two or more high-impact strategies that transform basic skills outcomes. The Chancellor’s Office released a Request for Applications on January 21. Applications are due back to the Chancellor’s Office by March 25. All community colleges and any college center that currently receive a separate Basic Skills Initiative allocation within a district are eligible to apply for the grant funding. To assist colleges in the development of their funding application (plan), the Chancellor’s Office’s Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative (IEPI) is sponsoring four (4) workshops featuring practitioners and other experts who will provide information on a variety of evidence-based and nationally recognized principles and practices related to basic skills (such as contextualizing instruction and offering statistics-based remedial pathways to students). The goal is for attendees to leave these highly interactive workshops with a set of high-impact strategies to incorporate in their college’s funding application. Once grants are awarded, IEPI intends to provide additional training and support to colleges on implementing their plans.
