3 All Colleges DSPS Basic Skills Report Overview of the DSPS Basic Skills Report This report provides information on DSPS students enrolled in Basic Skills courses and complements the All Colleges Basic Skills Report, which is intended to provide information for the college Basic Skills committees, faculty, student support staff, college leaders, and managers. The information in the reports are useful for program and services planning and improvement decisions by the colleges. This report contains information on DSPS student Basic Skills placement, enrollment, persistence, and student outcomes (i.e., retention and success). The key questions that this report will serve to answer are:.... What proportion of incoming students place into Basic Skills courses? How has the number of enrollments in Basic Skills courses changed over the past five years? What is the persistence rate of students in Basic Skills courses? How well do students perform in their Basic Skills courses? Whenever possible, these research questions are examined with respect to ethnicity, as well as longitudinal trends, and benchmarked for comparison purposes. The target group for this report includes students that officially enrolled in a class and received DSPS services at any of the SDCCD credit colleges in the term identified. Additionally, the target group of students for this report is consistent with the Basic Skills definition provided by the California Community College Chancellor s Office as of /8: Basic skills courses are those courses in reading, writing, math, computation, learning skills, study skills, and English as a Second Language, which are designated by the community college district as non-transferrable and non-degree applicable courses. For the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD), this includes English,,, A, 8, and 9; Math A, 8,, and A; and all ESOL courses. For benchmarking purposes, data include five-year averages. Additionally, the information provided in the All Colleges Basic Skills Report may be used as a benchmark for the DSPS placement, enrollment, persistence, and outcomes data summarized in this report. The All Colleges data include Basic Skills courses from all three colleges (City, Mesa, and Miramar).

6 Placement of First-Time Students

7 All Colleges DSPS Basic Skills Report Part I: Placement of First-Time Students This section of the report looks at the placement levels of first-time to college DSPS students who applied to the SDCCD during the three most recent years for which data are available: / to /. It is possible that a student can apply and take the placement test, but not register for classes. The placement information, therefore, may differ from enrollment information. Note that the English and math placement sequences may change from year to year; therefore, data are represented by current placement level categories. Additionally, students are categorized as tested or not tested based on the parameters described below. Placement levels by subject are shown (see Tables through ) for reading, writing, ESOL, and math. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS: First-Time Students: Defined in this report as any first-time student that applied to a SDCCD college. Excluded from this definition are students concurrently enrolled in a four-year university, degree holders, and high school students. Incoming DSPS Students: Defined in this report as any first-time student that applied to a SDCCD college. Excluded from this definition are students concurrently enrolled in a four-year university, degree holders, and high school students.
