Valley Regional Network is

networks
3. The benefits your college will
get from participating in the
network
3. WHAT IS A NETWORK?WHAT IS A NETWORK?
A Network is designed to
allow faculty, staff, and
administrators to share
and build upon existing
knowledge while at the
same time creating
opportunities for
transformation.
4. HOW WILL THE NETWORK DOHOW WILL THE NETWORK DO
THIS?THIS?
The network will build a
community of professional
learners among the 10 San Diego
and Imperial Valley Colleges
who can address the many
shared questions and problems
associated with basic skills
instruction.
5. WHY DO WE NEED AWHY DO WE NEED A
NETWORK?NETWORK?
For the past few decades,
community colleges have largely
been working in isolation to
support students with basic
skills needs. Even on individual
campuses, it is frequently
difficult for many to collaborate
across disciplines and programs
in an effort to increase student
success.

7. CA Success Network (CA SN) Logic Model
California community colleges must expand their capacity to improve student outcomes in basic skills instruction, English as a Second Language, and related support services. Colleges report that 70-90% of
entering students place into one or more basic skills course areas: reading, writing, and/or mathematics. The statewide course completion rate in basic skills is 60.5%, and only 50% of those students persist to
and complete the next level course. Historically underrepresented students are over-represented in basic skills courses, and their success rates are frequently lower than the rates for other student groups.
Community colleges' efforts to improve outcomes in basic skills cannot be separated from their responsibility to produce equitable graduation, certificate, and transfer rates for historically underrepresented and
underprepared students.
