Overview of Webinar
This webinar explores an exemplary, award-wining model for leadership and support of developmental education programs through the integration of academic and student support services. Parkland Community College's Center for Academic Success (CAS) director, Pam Lau, will describe how the CAS has worked closely with developmental faculty in academic programs and student services units to develop a comprehensive network of walk-in learning assistance services, alternative approaches to completing developmental coursework requirements, and "intrusive" academic advising and student development support. With strong institutional support, it draws upon the expertise of faculty, learning assistance and student development professionals to tutor, develop new curriculum, field-test pilots in alternative delivery methods, and guide under-prepared students to college-level success. Recently, the CAS was selected as one of eight community college programs across the nation to participate in a case-study for Community Colleges Can!
