Educational Quality

The mission of the Educational Quality team within Academic and Student Affairs is to facilitate and support a culture of continuous improvement in student learning and assessment, instructional practices and pedagogy, faculty facing academic processes and concurrent high school enrollment. This mission is achieved through research and implementation of best practices for improving learning and teaching, transparent and evidence based decision-making, and through collaboration with partners across the District and the broader educational community.

Our goals are to increase the number of students earning college credentials of economic value, increase the rate of transfer to bachelor’s degree programs following CCC graduation, drastically improve outcomes for students requiring remediation and increase the number and share of Adult Basic Education, high school equivalency degree, and English as a second language students who advance to and succeed in college level courses.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
