Basic Skills Enrichment Programs (BSEP)
Basic Skills Enrichment Programs upgrades the academic skills of developmental students in English, mathematics, and reading by using a variety of teaching methods and instructional formats in a non-course-based setting. It is the intent of the department to accept students at their present level of academic skills and, by upgrading those skills, to help students achieve their individual goals.
Reading and Education Department
The Reading Department of San Antonio College serves approximately 4,500 students per academic year. Of those students, 14% are black, 61% Hispanic, 18% are Anglo and 8% classify themselves as other. Ninety-nine percent of the students are underprepared, that is, not reading at college level.
The department strives to:
Student Learning Assistance Center (SLAC)
The Student Learning Assistance Center (SLAC) supplements classroom instruction by offering learning strategies that enhance the success potential of traditional students in the college environment. The goal of the SLAC is to enable the Alamo Community College District (ACCD) college students to be independent and resourceful learners by providing learning strategies appropriate to non-traditional students and students with diverse leaning styles. SLAC develops independent learners by teaching students how to learn rather than merely giving them quick answers. The learning strategies offered through the SLAC include: tutoring services, computer services, distance learning services, and study skill services.
Supplemental Instruction (SI)
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support program that targets historically difficult courses and supplements classroom learning by providing regularly scheduled, out-of-class peer facilitated sessions. The goal of SI is to enable SAC students to integrate what-to-learn with how-to-learn. It is the intent of SI to increase productive grade rates and lower DWF (drop, failure and withdrawal) rates in historically difficult courses.
Teaching Academy Program Peers (TAPP)
The purpose of the TAPP student organization is to share information about professions in education, to provide networking opportunities, to promote leadership skills through service to campus and community.
Benefits for SAC students who join TAPP:
TAPP sponsors a scholarship and a speaker series on campus. Our community service projects have included a book drive for the San Antonio Children’s Shelter, an arts and crafts / storytime booth at the San Antonio College Book Fair, and the Any Baby Can Christmas project (the group “adopts” a family with a disabled child). Interested students should contact sponsors Norma Cruz-Gonzales at 785-6237 (ncruzgon@accd.edu) or Mary Anne Bernal at 733-2539 (mbernal@accd.edu).
