Glendale Community College has distinguished itself through its efforts to put students first and its emphasis on teaching and learning. Innovations in curriculum, teaching strategies, and support services for students are hallmarks of the institution. To respond to the increasing expectations for quality, performance, and accountability, GCC administered CCSSE in the spring of 2011. |

| CCSSE Background |
| |
CCSSE’s survey instrument, The Community College Student Report, provides information on student engagement, a key indicator of learning and, therefore, of the quality of community colleges. The survey, administered to community college students, asks questions that assess institutional practices and student behaviors that are correlated highly with student learning and student retention. The Community College Student Report is a versatile, research-based tool appropriate for multiple uses. It is a: |
| |
- Benchmarking Instrument — establishing national norms on educational practice and performance by community and technical colleges.
- Diagnostic Tool — identifying areas in which a college can enhance students’ educational experiences.
-
Monitoring Device — documenting and improving institutional effectiveness over time. |
| The Research Behind CCSSE |
| |
In 2006, CCSSE completed a major validation research study that examines the relationship between student engagement and community college student outcomes. This report on a three-pronged collection of studies validates the relationships between student engagement and a variety of student outcomes in community colleges -- including academic performance, persistence, and attainment. |
