1 Student Equity Plan November 6,

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (SDCE) provides adult education for the San Diego Community College District. SDCE is the largest, separately accredited continuing education in the United States, and serves more than 70,000 students each year at seven main campuses around San Diego. Students attend noncredit classes for a variety of reasons. Some are preparing for college, others have plans to complete a certificate program for specific job training, and many are looking to sharpen career skills, or attend lifelong learning classes. As noted in the SDCE Philosophy Statement; We are a multicultural institution dedicated to providing educational access and lifelong learning opportunities. Our commitment is to all students who come through our doors, without regard to their academic skill or life s challenges, offering innovative, high quality instruction and student support services. We believe that people have the capacity to change and that education can positively transform individuals, enriching their lives and contributing to our community. Student Equity Plan The Student Equity Plan focuses on increasing access, course completion, ESL and basic skills completion, degrees, certificates and transfer for all students as measured by success indicators. Success indicators are used to identify and measure areas for which disadvantaged populations may be impacted by issues of equal opportunity. Each college is charged with developing specific goals/outcomes and actions to address disparities that are discovered, disaggregating data for indicators by student demographics. College plans are required to describe the implementation of each indicator, as well as policies, activities and procedures as they relate to student equity. The Student Equity Plan is prepared with a three-year timeframe in terms of planned activities and improvements, and to align with the Student Success and Support Program Plan. The Plan will be updated annually. Process The process for creating the Student Equity Plan for was collective and collaborative. Campus stakeholders involved included students, classified staff, faculty, administrators, and district personnel. All participated in widespread discussions and contributed significantly in the drafting of the Student Equity Plan. Noteworthy is that this process is intended to be ongoing and requires a continuous cycle of praxis (theory, reflection, and action) on an institutional and structural level. The primary purpose of the Student Equity Plan is to address disproportionate impact in order to bring forth significant parity that creates equitable opportunities and outcomes for all students. The following timeline reflects activities that led to the creation of the most recent most version of the Student Equity Plan. Planning Activities include April

4 Ethnicity Gender Disability Status Veterans Status Economically Disadvantaged Status Foster Youth Status Student Equity indicators examined included: Access Course Completion (Retention) ESL and Basic Skills Completion Degree and Certificate Completion Research Findings, Goals and Activities The Student Equity Plan addresses 8 research findings, establishes 8 goals to address those findings, and proposes 30 activities to support the goals. The following identifies the indicator, research findings, goals, and activities proposed within the Student Equity Plan. A. Student Success Indicator for Access Compare the percentage of each population group that is enrolled to the percentage of each group in the adult population within the community served. Research Finding #1: There exists an overall decline in Continuing Education enrollment. Disproportionate impact exists within certain target groups as indicated by direct and proxy indicators. Currently a data gap exists for a more comprehensive overview and analysis of Veterans, Foster Youth, Economically Disadvantaged, and DSPS student groups. A.1 Goal: Establish a comprehensive approach to data collection that can be used to set a baseline and monitor disproportionate impact on Veterans, Foster Youth, Economically Disadvantaged, and DSPS student groups. Activities: A1.1 (Administrative) Redesign the Continuing Education registration application to capture accurate demographic information identifying Veterans, Foster Youth, Economically Disadvantaged, and DSPS student status. A1.2 (Student Services-Coordination) Hire a Student Equity Coordinator to oversee the delivery of proposed student support and instructional services to targeted student populations. 8

5 A1.3 (Research) Hire a part-time researcher to collect accurate enrollment data for various target populations. The researcher will be charged with establishing a relevant research agenda in conjunction with Program Deans and the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. A1.4 (Facilities) Improve student services office signage at various campus sites in order to clearly identify where the Student Services offices are located. Research Finding #2: Continuing Education currently serves approximately two times more women than men. A.2 Goal: Increase overall male student enrollment in Continuing Education.

A2.5 (Student Services-Outreach) Develop outreach materials designed to specifically recruit males to Continuing Education programs with a particular emphasis in marketing Allied Health program offerings. A2.6 (Instructional) 9

6 Offer evening counseling and an array of flexible course offerings over a wider range of times (e.g., weekends, evening, online, and accelerated) and at varied locations to accommodate male students who have work traditional work schedules. A2.7 (Professional Development) Provide professional development opportunities to increase the understanding of contributing factors influencing the academic achievement of male students. Research Finding #3: Females are underrepresented in specific programs (e.g. Career Technical Education/Welding, Metal Fabrication, etc.) offered by Continuing Education. A.3 Goal: Increase female enrollment and instructional support in programs that have low female representation (e.g. Career Technical Education/ Welding, Metal Fabrication, etc.) offered by Continuing Education. A3.1 (Student Services-Outreach) Develop a comprehensive and strategic Outreach Plan to increase female student enrollment in specific programs with low female enrollments.

A3.4 (Student Services-New Horizons/Gender Equity Programs) Collaborate with existing New Horizons/Gender Equity program at Continuing Education to provide students with academic support services resulting in an increase in female participation in non-traditional career programs. B. Student Success Indicator for Course Completion Ratio of the number of credit courses that students by population group actually complete by the end of the term compared to the number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of the term Research Finding #1: The number of students who transition from non-credit to the college represents 5% of the overall Continuing Education student population. Within this 5%, African American, American 10

7 Indian, and Latino students are disproportionately impacted in their first-term course completion rates. B.1 Goal: Prepare Continuing Education students for transition to the credit college, and provide them with the resources necessary to increase successful course completion rates for first-term college students. This includes dedicating resources to the development of curriculum for courses designed to transition CE students to the credit side. The goal specifically targets African American, American Indian, and Latino students to receive these transitional support services.

Dedicate resources to 11

8 the development of curriculum for courses that are designed to identify and transition CE students to the credit side. Research Finding #2: The current data collected regarding transition is one-dimensional and only defines course completion as it relates to the credit college. B2 Goal: Create a research agenda that addresses and accounts for the different types of course completion and transition in order to take into consideration all aspects of the mission of Continuing Education. Activity: B2.1 (Research) Identify success and achievement indicators that provide analysis of course completion and transition tracking for the following types of Continuing Education transition: a) Transition from Continuing Education to the workforce b) Transition from the credit colleges to Continuing Education. c) Transition between certificate programs within Continuing Education. C. Student Success Indicator for ESL Completion The ratio of the number of students by population group who transition to an SDCCD credit college for the first time after completing eight or more ESL course hours to the number of students in that group who received a credit college degree or certificate within four or six years of their transition. Research Finding #1: Only 9% of recent non-credit ESL transition students achieved a credit college degree or certificate within four years (57 out of 613) and 17% achieved an award within six years (33 out of 200). Students ages 50 and over were also disproportionately impacted when tracked over six years.
