Education and Success

Chabot wants to adapt and changes its policies and practices to focus more on you, the student. A huge part of that process revolves around understanding who our students are and where they come from. It is important to hear your story. Use the following questions to tell it. You will be soon creating your own blog, and this will be your first post on it. SO, you should be sure to save your writing in a word doc so you can easily post it into your blog (after you create the blog.)


1. How do you define success? (Try Rule of 3.)

2. What helps you succeed in your community? What prevents your success?
You can use the following list to get started, but if an important part of your life is not represented here please incorporate it into your response.
1. Family
2. Religion/Culture
3. Crime
4. Hunger
5. Transportation
6. Personal
7. Money

3. Please Watch: "Surfacing With a Dream" ----Please address this question: Should community colleges support ESL students to reach their goals IF the goals dont seem to align with the mission of the community college. (For example: some students in the movie want to learn English to be able to talk to their child's school teacher. That is not really part of the mission of the typical college.)


This will be due on Wed, for the M/W classes.
