GOAL SIX:
Identify Key Points of Success and Challenge Our Students Face

We will establish interdisciplinary teams to track cohorts of entering students (first-time and transfers) along the continuum of initial engagement to student success to identify where students face irrevocable challenges in their educational journey.

Task A. Utilizing AACC’s Voluntary Framework of Accountability (VFA), identify key success points along the continuum of student success (e.g. completing developmental education, completing the first college-level course, achieving 15, 30, etc. college credits). Create cohort data sets of key student types (e.g. pre-health students, students of color, transfer students, traditional and non-traditional, etc.) and have teams follow their progress to identify areas where students struggle.

Task B. Taking the findings from above, make recommendations for improvements to services, processes or protocols to the appropriate individual or areas. Implement changes to improve student outcomes along the continuum of student success.
