The Study of Community College Structures for Student
Success (SCCSSS) was launched in 2010 with three goals at
its center: (1) To explore a set of promising
institutional practices and organizational structures
identified through theory and research as having the
potential to support community college student success;
(2) To present a synthesized overview, or matrix, of
these promising practices and structures as a tool for
community college leaders and practitioners; and (3) To
collect national empirical data on the practices and
structures that community colleges currently have in
place to improve key student success outcomes, including
student retention, successful transfer, and degree or
certificate completion. The SCCSSS investigation began
with an exploration of the research and practice-oriented
literature, augmented by findings from focus groups and
interviews with community college leaders and
practitioners. A survey, developed from the results of
this initial exploration, was then conducted, with the
participation of community colleges nationwide. This
early phase of the study produced two of the project's
central resources: (1) A matrix of promising
institutional practices and organizational structures
that can be used to facilitate campus discussions,
professional development, and institutional planning; and
(2) Results from a nationwide survey of community college
leaders that provide an accurate, research-based view of
how and to what extent the practices and structures in
the matrix are currently in place at community colleges
across the country. This report first discusses the
national context for this work and reviews the key
elements in the set of promising practices and
organizational structures that were the foundation for
the SCCSSS national survey. Next, it reports the survey
results to explore the extent to which community colleges
have these practices and structures in place. The matrix
of promising institutional practices and organizational
structures for community colleges, along with other key
resources, to serve as a practical tool generated by the
SCCSSS effort are included in the appendix. A
bibliography and a list of resources are included.
(Contains 18 figures and 3 footnotes.)
