Center Tools
High levels of student engagement are the product of an institution-wide commitment, not discrete initiatives. In other words, quality education is not an event — it’s a culture.
The Center is committed to helping you build that culture at your college, and we provide CCSSE and SENSE Tools as a key resource for those efforts.

One College’s Approach
North Hennepin Community College (MN) translated the Faculty Predictions exercise into an electronic format and used personal response "clickers.” The format provided immediate feedback after each survey response percentage was predicted.
After an initial discussion of the data, everyone was divided randomly into benchmark groups and asked to identify two priorities for change at the college in that area. These priorities for change are now worked into the college’s assessment plan initiatives.
