Leadership tracks the percentage of students who receive a grade of “C” or better in courses
that are defined as gatekeepers. These courses represent high enrollments and low percentages
of successful students. Performance for all students enrolled in gatekeeper courses
●●
falls short of the target range by 2 percentage points
●●
represents a small increase of 0.47 percentage points over 2009-10
●●
exceeds that of all 6 peers (see Figure 2.1.6)
Performance for historically underserved students enrolled in gatekeeper courses
●●
falls short of the target range by 7.1 percentage points
●●
exceeds that of all 6 peers
●●
represents a decrease of 1.18 percentage points over 2009-10 (see Figure 2.2.6A,B)
In addition to participation in Achieving the Dream, three developmental mathematics faculty
members will pilot a new method for teaching developmental mathematics called Statway
which was developed in collaboration with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching. Since Richland will continue participation in Achieving the Dream and will pilot
Statway in 3 sections of developmental mathematics, leadership raised the target for measure
2.2.6 to 73.50 and left measure 2.1.6 intact at 73.50 for 2011-12.
*Strategic measures are those identified for special emphasis by college leadership, the DCCCD Board of Trustees, the state or national government, or
SACS accreditation agency. Operational measures are those key to the ongoing vitality of the organization but without strategic emphasis.
