may include, but are not limited to, assistance with preparation of Action and Expenditure Plans and integration of student equity plans with the Action Plans. Assist colleges with establishing benchmarks to demonstrate increased ESL/basic skills (credit and non-credit) student success and with implementing appropriate outcomes assessment components as well as data collection procedures. Expand the current web-page and electronic information sharing strategies for building a knowledge base and providing valuable information regarding effective practices. Build upon the infrastructure started by LACCD/3CSN as a permanent professional development network/center i.e., a statewide resource network designed to support ongoing professional development in ESL/basic skills improvement. Through the professional development network/center, conduct at least one annual summer leadership institute designed to provide training for faculty, administrators and staff leaders, and basic skills coordinators involved with serving developmental education students, including student services faculty and staff and faculty across disciplines, including career technical education. Performance Outcomes Reports/Deliverables The project should result in three succinct reports describing the activities that were conducted through this grant in areas listed below: Summary of workshops conducted and technical assistance provided at local colleges. This summary needs to include the methods used to collect feedback from participants addressing the benefits of the events and an overall summary of feedback received. Description of benchmarks, processes for assessing outcomes for ESL/basic skill students, and data collection procedures that have been implemented at the colleges. Description of expanded electronic resources, the enhancement of the permanent professional development resource network/center 3CSN established under the previous grant, and the summer leadership institutes. Evaluation Design Particulars The funded applicant must propose an evaluation process that assesses the success project’s in achieving its objectives. Successful applicants will be required to address the project objectives through the deliverables/reports describing workshops and technical assistance provided how colleges are addressing and demonstrating increased student success; and how electronic resources have been expanded concurrent with establishment of a permanent professional development resource network/center.
