CTC's Quality Enhancement Plan

Creating A Culture that Focuses on Enhancing Student Learning

Phase II         (2007-2009)

During AY 2006-2007, faculty and staff surveys, student focus groups, and administration of a Study Behaviors Inventory to students, uniformly identified two additional issues that cause students to struggle in college:

•  lack of collegiate level writing skills and

•  lack of appropriate study habits and skills for the college environment.

During QEP Phase II, CTC tested new instructional initiatives regarding college study skills and writing performance.

During this time the services units built on their Excellence initiatives and began reporting Quality Enhancement initiatives through the annual IE (Institutional Effectiveness) process.
