College Readiness Forum English Survey

Response Summary

Total Started Survey: 16

Total Completed Survey: 16 (100%)

1. As part of the College Readiness Forum (CRF), Reedley College’s English Faculty are requesting your assistance to increase student college success in our English courses. We understand improving college readiness and success of our students is a huge task, especially under current fiscal concerns, time limitations and new regulations impacting both K-12 and the community colleges; therefore, we want to collaborate as effectively and efficiently as possible. We are also aware that only 14% of students come to us ready for college-level writing and that only 24% of our English 125 students (one course below college-level) are successful in completing freshman composition within one year of taking English 125 (based on California Community College Basic Skills Progress Tracker). We would like to collaborate with you about strategies to improve these numbers. In an effort to have better understanding of your curriculum, the English faculty at Reedley College are interested in meeting with you to discuss the Common Core, your experiences implementing the ERWC (if your campus is participating), and general writing instruction strategies. Depending on your responses below, we will arrange a time to meet regarding these issues. Thank you for your time. Are you interested in collaborating with faculty from Reedley College?
