Spring 2014 Proposals for Curriculum Instruction Projects
Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) Programs
AANAPISI Part A and F Grant Strategies and Measurable Outcomes
Any instructional proposals funded through this offer must
support one or more of the Grant Strategies outlined below.
The mission of the AANAPISI programs is to improve the transition, progression, graduation, and transfer rates of
Asian American and Pacific Islander students at Mission College.
Overview of AANAPISI Grant Strategies
• To revise the credit ESL curriculum and to
allow more advanced AAPI students to progress
more rapidly through the course sequence into
college programs.
• To increase the numbers of AAPI students
transitioning from the highest levels of ESL courses
into college programs, and strengthen programs
and services to support transitions.
• To increase students reaching critical
academic progress and momentum points,
including those entering the college via the ESL
program and at development levels in English and
mathematics.
• To work more closely to implement the K-
16 Bridge program, with an emphasis on linkages
to feeder high schools with the highest AAPI
enrollments.
• To develop stronger relationships with the
Asian American and Pacific Islander community,
including development of an active AAPI
Community Advisory Committee.
• To strengthen capacity to disaggregate
data for analysis, especially for subgroups of AAPI
student populations, including closing critical gaps
in connectivity of information systems.
• To increase AAPI student transfers to four-
year colleges and universities, especially in science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM).
• To increase the success and sequential
continuation rates for all levels of mathematics.
• To focus on improving success rates in a
core of 21 non-math transfer courses which have
been identified as high risk due to below average
success rates.
• To centralize and strengthen academic
assistance and student support services for all
students preparing to transfer in STEM field,
including creation of a STEM Learning Center.
• To implement a college-wide faculty
development initiative for exploration of
innovative methods to improve both faculty and
student engagement in teaching and learning.
• To assist faculty to integrate research-
based best practices into courses, with an
emphasis on high risk transfer courses.
• To use the outcomes data and evaluation
assessments from this AANAPISI project to inform
planning, needed improvements and decision-
making across the College.
