Access to a portable lap top cart has merit for faculty and students alike. Many of our courses are supported by on-line workbooks, but booking a lab on campus for a hands-on orientation is almost impossible. Laptops can be used for many other classroom activities and testing purposes to promote student engagement and digital literacy.

Based upon expanding enrollment and greater use of the ESL Center during evening sections, we are requesting a 27-hour permanent evening IA position in the Center. In order to offer students attending in the evening the same opportunities to earn credit as students who attend during peak hours, we must have qualified workers to run the multi-media sessions, grade advanced level workbooks, and score tests (tasks for instructors and IAs) as well as monitor students in the general study area.

In the spirit of starting right, it is essential for all students to understand how to navigate the college system in order to connect early with the resources and classes they need. This is especially difficult for ESL students who do not yet have the language skills or cultural knowledge to understand even the most basic steps in enrolling and connecting with support services. New ESL students do not have a dedicated space where they can get the information in a language they understand in order to start right.
