Action Projects

Below are brief summaries of each of the AQIP Action Projects. For more information on any of these projects follow the "Read More" links.

Action Project #5: Improve Developmental Learning Opportunities

Overall, based on 2005 institutional data, only 51% of SWIC students enrolled in developmental courses pass. By improving student success in developmental courses those students will have an equal chance of completing a degree or transferring as their peers who began with college-level courses.

This project includes research into current developmental learning results as well as best practices in the field. Other activities may include (but are not limited to): targeted faculty development programs, collaborative activities between instruction and support services, learning communities, structured learning assistance, and bridge programs.
