Established in 2006 as a joint effort of the District administration and the District Academic Senate, the Student Success Steering Committee is charged with coordinating district college student success committee efforts to improve all student success outcomes, including persistence and degree and certificate completion rates. The SSI Steering Committee also facilitates the sharing of "best practices" across the district by fostering an on-going district-wide dialogue on student learning and student success. If you would like to join the conversation about student success or if you would simply like to keep up-to-date about the Student Success Initiative--including the work of its new task forces--please visit the interactive networking site of the SSI Steering Committee: http://LACCDSSIGroup.epsilen.com.

Basic Skills Initiative
Over the past year, the nine LACCD colleges have participated in the state-wide Basic Skills Initiative (BSI), co-sponsored by the State Chancellor’s Office and the State Academic Senate. In spring 2007, the LACCD colleges piloted the BSI “Self Assessment” process for the state and all nine LACCD colleges have filed plans with the State Chancellor’s Office for improving the educational outcomes of District basic skills students.
