Direct Connection to Policy Area 1 of The Illinois Commitment Instructional Enhancements Grants for Faculty CCC - Olive-Harvey College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? This practice addresses the issue of needing to improve teaching and learning so that higher numbers of students are retained, graduate and therefore positively impact economic growth in the state of Illinois. Description of the effective practice: Full or part time faculty from credit, adult education, pre-credit, and/or continuing education have the opportunity to create an individual retention strategy to be implemented within their class. Small grants fund these projects. A College-retention committee reviews applications and awards funds. Grant recipients report the results of the activity to the committee. How does this practice achieve sustainability? This effective practice is currently funded through a grant. It is expected that this activity can be institutionalized since its results will increase retention, which in turn will increase revenues. This will permit for the continued allocation of funds to this activity. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Increased retention rates within classes where faculty member has been awarded an instructional enhancement grant.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 1 of The Illinois Commitment Local Partnership to Provide Expanded Opportunities in Health Care Education Highland Community College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The partnership addresses the insufficient number of qualified nurses in the district. Additionally it addresses program access, space limitations, and budget constraints by offering a complete Associate Degree Nursing program in the evening and by jointly establishing an advanced learning lab. Description of the effective practice: Highland Community College (HCC) has entered a partnership agreement with Freeport Health Network (FHN) to market, recruit, and fund a full-time evening program in the Associate Degree in Nursing. Additionally, the agreement provides the College with the opportunity to develop continuing education opportunities for employees of the Network. As a result of regular meetings to implement the partnership agreement, HCC and FHN have developed additional collaborative agreements. FHN has agreed to support the College’s fund-raising activities in the community to build designated space for the nursing program and to provide equipment for an advanced learning lab; and in return HCC has agreed to share the advanced learning lab with FHN for its continuing staff development program. The partners are exploring ways to expand clinical experiences for HCC nursing students using FHN staff. How does this practice achieve sustainability? Start-up costs have been shared by the partners for the first three years of the evening ADN program with the College budgeting funds to assume full responsibility for faculty salaries once the evening program is viable. Continuing education offerings generate fees and reimbursement dollars. Enrollments have been strong and applications continue to exceed the number of spaces available. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Applications for the evening program have been strong and the program has been filled each fall since its implementation. Spring 2005 the program graduated its first class with 5 students completing, and spring 2006 a second class graduated 6 students. To date graduates have a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX. Staff development offerings through Highland’s Business Institute have generated 126 reimbursable credit hours and have offered continuing education to 523 trainees for an income of $28,334.
