Title V, "Modern Strategies for Student Success"
October 1, 2012, Galveston College began Year 1 of a five year project entitled, Modern Strategies for Student Success. It is a $3.1 million project funded by the US Department of Education designed to increase the percent of Galveston College Hispanic students (and all students) who earn a degree or certificate. It does so by:
- Enhancing instructional strategies in seven Developmental Education and seven high-risk Gateway courses through the use of media-assisted instruction (see http://gctechnology.weebly.com) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) strategies;
- Redesigning the seven basic Developmental Education courses to provide opportunities for accelerated progress;
- Adding or modernizing learning labs for Developmental Education and Gateway courses to support more effective teaching strategies;
- Providing student Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leaders;
- Updating classrooms with SMART equipment and "class-capture" technology;
In addition, the project will overhaul the current technological infrastructure campus-wide in order to relieve "gridlock" and ensure that administrators, staff, and faculty have access to a broad range of technology for effective teaching and decision making.
- Combining these strategies with improved advising and tracking focusing on Developmental Education students and Hispanic students and supporting these reforms with "immersion training" for faculty.
