Student Services Strategic Themes The six strategic themes establish the division's overall direction and articulate the framework through which individual and collective action can be imagined and acted upon by linking departmental and divisional goals and action plans to stated strategic intent. • To promote robust and impactful partnerships across four dimensions:
• To imagine bold and “humanistic” uses of technology to deliver services to students, faculty and staff; and to enhance Student Services Web presence. • To promote Student Learning Outcomes as foundational to assessment and service effectiveness. • To promote student centeredness and leadership excellence through a vigorous professional development plan that includes building teams and building people. • To ensure a facilities planning process that integrates student-centered services into the new Student Services/Administration building, the Campus Center, and the New Gymnasium. A Commitment To Our Principles Student Services Division at Chaffey College as a whole and as committed individuals strives for excellence through a studentcentered philosophy that emphasizes innovative thinking, modeling of positive behaviors, mentoring, and student advocacy. Our tenets serve as fundamental operational principles and help shape our decisions and actions. They infuse individual and collective action with clarity of purpose, meaning, and inspiration, and are the common thread that binds us as a division. The adopted tenets transcend individual job descriptions and departmental mission statements and illuminate the ideals to which the division strives.  Student-Centered Philosophy. The
student-centered philosophy is a
mindset that places the student at the
center of our focus. It is a paradigm in which
students and their success serve as the driving
force behind decisions. We create validating
and welcoming environments conducive to
student learning and our students feel a sense
of belonging to the Chaffey community. We
empower students, focus on the whole person,
serve as allies and advocates, and create
opportunities for students to develop as
individuals and leaders. We continuously ask:
How will our students benefit and are students
better served?Integrity: Integrity is demonstrated when we
value honesty, are authentic in our
interactions, take personal responsibility for
our commitments, and demonstrate congruence
between what we say and do. Integrity is also shown
when we align our actions with our core beliefs and
stand up for what we believe in. We value
accountability, responsibility, and sincerity. We can
be counted on to do the right thing.Inter/connectedness: Inter/connectedness
exists when we are united with others in
purpose, when we
build and maintain positive relationships, when
students feel a sense of belongingness and pride,
and when we achieve our goals through
collaboration, teamwork, open communication,
information sharing, and mutual respect. To be
inter/connected is to recognize that we need each
other to succeed and includes the courage to
transcend one's own view and perspective by
seeing things through the eyes of another.Innovation: To be innovative is to be driven
by a passion to improve, enhance, or expand
our services to meet emerging needs. We
encourage and support those who seek out new
ways and approaches to solve current problems,
seize upon emerging possibilities, or avert
impending threats. We value experimentation, and
possibility thinking. We encourage the dreamers who
do!Quality: Quality is achieved when we
hold each other and our students to
high standards and high expectations.
Quality is an outcome that is achieved when
we provide personal attention beyond what is
sufficient, when we follow through on
commitments, and when we set a standard for
excellence. Getting by is just not good enough
so we are passionate about continuous
improvement. There's always a service we can
add, a process to streamline or a new
technology that can be introduced to enable us
to make a difference in the lives of students.
We value quality contact, quality process, and
quality outcomes.Richness of Diversity & Social
Justice: Diversity and social justice
means that we have a deep passionate
ambition to help students use education as a
means of transcending socioeconomic barriers
and to achieve self-actualization through
satisfying careers and life long learning. We
hold on to the belief that each student can
transcend their current life circumstances and
to achieve their highest calling. Diversity and
Justice are grounded in the belief that
differences in people and diverse points-ofview
are valuable and that everyone can make
a difference. It also includes appreciating the
multiple identities and subjectivities that each
of us brings to the educational enterprise. We
embody belief in diversity and justice when we
are inclusive of people, we recognize our similarities
through our humanity, we embrace our
differences through mutual respect, and we
move beyond tolerance and acceptance to
active support and advocacy.Download the Commitment to Our Principles brochure in PDF format [ Top of Page ] |
