• Student Engagement Surveys

  The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and the Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) provide information on student engagement, a key indicator of learning, and therefore, of the quality of community colleges. The surveys, administered to community college students, asks questions that assess institutional practices and student behaviors that are correlated highly with student learning and student retention.

  The Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE) elicits information from faculty about their teaching practices, the ways they spend their professional time, both in and out of class, and their perceptions regarding students' educational experiences.
