| Town Hall Meeting Addresses Educational Master Plan Goal |
|
The Student Service programs and departments at De Anza College held an all-college Town Hall meeting in February 2002 to meet a goal of the Educational Master Plan – to “provide effective pathways to learning for every student.” Faculty and staff shared their best practices in the areas of outreach, access and retention. An update was presented on the focus and goals of retention efforts related to undeclared majors and basic skills students. Presentations included a new transfer effort aimed at addressing student equity, a partnership between counselors and faculty to increase student success in online courses, and progress by counselors and academic advisers assigned to academic divisions. Participants at the Town Hall meeting also completed a learning styles inventory that measured their preferences in four different learning modalities. The inventory was presented as a new tool for both teaching and learning. For more information, contact Judy Miner at minerjudy@fhda.edu or (408) 864-8510 ext 8510. |
