SJC evaluates all students, unless they have an exemption, according to state guidelines for college readiness. Students that score less than developmental education levels (ABE) but do have a high school credential are placed in Intentional Connections learning communities to support their educational goals; after the initial implementation including intense career counseling, study skills, and INRW course work, these students enrolled in the learning community experienced a 70-75% successful completion rate to move into either the corequisites courses or even college level courses without support. This model has decreased enrollment in developmental education courses by 35%; students are moving to college level courses at a more rapid rate.

FRAME2 Your Future - Focused Route of Academics to Maximize Education & Employment is Panola College's QEP, which is a five-year effort that focuses on improving student learning and student success through the Learning Framework course taken by incoming freshmen. The course introduces students to support systems that help them achieve their education and career goals in the most efficient manner.

The purpose of this course is to transform student’s academic behavior and enhance college readiness and success by acquiring study strategies based on research theory, facilitating a connection with campus resources, and giving students an opportunity to explore
various college and career pathways.

After studying all materials and resources presented in the course, the student will be able to:
• Identify and describe theories of learning, cognition, and motivation.
• Identify and describe factors that impact learning.
• Demonstrate and apply the use of various learning strategies (i.e. goal setting, time management, organizational, and note-taking strategies).
• Demonstrate critical thinking skills by identifying individual strengths and weaknesses of various skills and making recommendations for self-improvement.
• Demonstrate effective written and/or oral communication with peers, instructors, and/or campus support personnel.
• Choose a career path and program of study through research and analysis of data derived from self-assessment (interest or skill inventories, self-evaluations, etc.).
• Develop effective strategies for managing your money while you are a student through research and analysis of self-assessment data and financial literacy activities.
• Build and take an active role, to include self-advocacy, in a learning community (e.g. connect with peers, instructors, support personnel, and essential campus resources which support student success)

Learning Frameworks Course

Rating
0.0 stars

In the Learning Frameworks course, students study the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; the factors that impact learning; and how to apply different learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of the college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g. learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned.

Learning Symposium

Some Rights Reserved
Rating
0.0 stars

TVCC faculty bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the TVCC student body. Advancing opportunities for mentorships and students to demonstrate their learned skills by networking with their community is a critical aspect to encourage student engagement during classroom instruction. The Learning Symposium offers opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and skills to create projects meaningful to them and the community they care about. The concept of the learning symposium is new at TVCC, but resembles the concept of a student research symposium at 4-year universities. The goals for creating an annual symposium are to:
• Provide a structure for faculty – student mentorships in specific content areas which students are passionate and interested in.
• Inspire cross-circular learning experiences.
• Provide a focus on academic achievement for TVCC students.
• Increase community involvement with TVCC students.
• Foster deeper connections between Terrell, Kaufman, Athens, Palestine, and dual credit students. (The symposium would be hosted by rotating TVCC campuses in Athens, Terrell, and Palestine yearly, with dual credit and embedded faculty encouraged to participate.)
• Gain regional recognition from other colleges within the second and third years by offering invitations for their students to join.

Students and faculty are encouraged to think of ways they can connect classroom instruction to service opportunities in their communities and demonstrate skills they have developed. This is known as Applied Learning Opportunities.
We are striving to recognize the knowledge students bring to the learning environment and connect with communities and seek real-life experiences. By encouraging students to participate in the Learning Symposium, we are asking students to apply what they are learning to a whole task in a form that is relevant and appropriate to their goals and skills. Areas in which to frame a project include, but are not limited to: Service Learning/Community Service, Research/Field Study, Arts, Leadership, Civil Engagement, and Internships.

A panel of judges volunteer and are present during the symposium to view displays and participate during the demonstrations. Students’ submissions are judged within two categories:
• Most Impactful: $500 award
• Most Creative: $500 award

The Lions Den Classroom is a retention-focused initiative to engage the Deans of the college with more impactful interactions with students majoring in the College of Education and Human Services. It is our belief that students want to have more of a connection with the Deans and want to know who they are. As the Deans visit classrooms with goodies throughout the academic year, it allows students to ask questions, understand the college on a deeper level, and provides them with the opportunity to get a firsthand view of the Deans. Lions Den Classroom most importantly provides students the chance to discover information they would not be able to find anywhere else.

The Scholar Enrichment Program (SEP) includes the TC Energy Summer Scholars Academy (SSA) and 1 credit hour supplemental instruction workshops supporting freshman level STEM courses. Low-income students from predominately minority serving high schools are recruited through site visits to their campuses, information sessions, email, and phone calls. All eligible students, however, are welcome to apply. During the SSA, students complete Calculus 1 and receive instruction in chemistry and college success. In the fall, students transition into the SEP where they receive continued mentoring, are placed in Collaborative Learning Groups for their STEM classes, and participate in career development activities. SSA students are encouraged to take on leadership roles as tutors, peer facilitators, and mentors as they advance through their studies. All students at the University are welcome to enroll in the SEP workshops that utilize peer facilitators to guide students through team-based problem-solving sessions to master challenging course material. Between 900-1000 students per semester enroll. The program is supported in part by a National Science Foundation Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation grant, the University of Houston, TC Energy, Conoco Phillips, Halliburton, and alumni donors.

Strategic Enrollment Management

Rating
0.0 stars

For TVCC, Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) has a single overarching goal: To provide the optimal number of students for every part of the college, based on the college mission and capacities. To do that, SEM initiatives influence students in three areas: 1) Recruitment, 2) Retention, and 3) Student Satisfaction.

Responsible for implementing process within those three areas is the SEM Committee. This is a large, campus-wide committee with a very wide reach. Each member of the SEM committee also oversee a subcommittee that has a particular purpose within the overall SEM structure. For example, our subcommittees include: Retention, Diversity and Inclusion, Recruitment, Campus Beautification, Safety and Security, Workforce, etc. These committees were chosen after an extensive SWOT analysis.

SEM touches every area of campus, touching every service and activity from the time a student makes an inquiry through a student's graduation into alumni status.

At TVCC we began with a SWOT analysis of our current position within the market and determined four focus areas for our first year of the SEM project. (We also incorporated project management training for all SEM members.) The four focus areas for our first year were: 1) Building necessary infrastructure in all areas, 2) Ensure safety guidelines are met on all campuses, 3) Grow retention and recruitment, and 4) Detangle confusing student processes.

We have been working on these four focus areas for the last year. We have been successful in all four areas. We are now shift into our second year of SEM, where collection and use of data will become paramount.

Our ultimate goal through SEM is to have our optimal number of students on all campuses and in all activities, including academics.

Four-year graduation rates for those schools with an active academic success program increased approximately 9.2%. Newer programs who do not yet have 4-year graduation rates, achieved an average first-year retention rate of 96.6%, an average increase of over 1.3% percentage points. Most notable are the improvements in closing the 4-year graduation rates for Students of Color and for Pell-Eligible students. Since 2013 these two populations’ four-year graduation rates have improved by approximately 16% percentage points.
