2 2 What is CCSSE? A tool that helps us: assess quality in community college education; identify and learn from good educational practice — practice that promotes high levels of student learning and persistence; and identify areas in which we can improve programs and services for students.

3 3 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) The 38-item Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) is used to assess the following five benchmarks of effective educational practice: Active & Collaborative Learning Student Effort Academic Challenge Student – Faculty Interaction Support for Learners
