California Community Colleges’ Success Network
Dear Faculty and Administration:
This academic year, 3CSN (the Basic Skills Initiative professional development grant) will offer a variety of activities, resources, and support to help you and your campus achieve the objectives of the statewide Basic Skills Initiative (BSI).
One such professional learning opportunity for this fall is our Learning In Networks for Knowledge Sharing—part 2 (LINKS 2). This second in a series of LINKS events will take a deeper look into student success in terms of completion, breaking completion into more manageable chunks known as milestones and momentum points. At these events, participants will examine data related to specific momentum points and learn how to apply tools supported by 3CSN (i.e., inquiry/gap analysis, data benchmarking, and logic models) to identify and address key momentum points that lead to successful completion of milestones such as the ESL/basic skills pathway, as well as longer completion paths such as certificates, degrees, and transfer readiness. Participants will also learn about high-leverage strategies that can be used to support, and perhaps even accelerate, pathway completion.
Three day-long (approximately 9 am to 4 pm) LINKS 2 events will be offered throughout the state:
· Friday, October 22nd in the San Diego area (California Center for the Arts, Escondido)
· Friday, October 29th in the Los Angeles area (Los Angeles Valley College)
· Friday, November 19th in the northern/central California area (Diablo Valley College)
These events are FREE and lunch will be provided. Attached is a flyer with additional information, including registration web links. Colleges are encouraged to send teams representing faculty and administration in ESL/basic skills, counseling, and other disciplines across the campus. Be sure to register early, as space is limited. For more information about these LINKS 2 events, regional 3CSN activities and support available to you locally, or general information about 3CSN, please visit our website at http://3csn.org.
We look forward to working with you as we all work to help our students with basic skills needs!
Sincerely,
Lynn Wright and the 3CSN Coordinators: Daniel Bahner, Lisa Brewster, Jan Connal, Donna Cooper, Daryl Kinney, Jennifer Mendoza, Anniqua Rana, and Cleavon Smith
