School Core Competencies The faculty, staff, and students at East Arkansas Community College identified four competencies that every EACC student should master before graduation. Those four competencies are the core to the educational goals of the college and every program is evaluated using the core competencies. The first core competency is communication. It is expected that every graduate of East Arkansas Community College will be able to communicate effectively and clearly. The EACC graduates will have demonstrated the ability to comprehend the written works, write in a clear and effective manner, listen and effectively comprehend the spoken word, and organize their ideas and clearly convey those ideas through speech and oration. The second core competency is critical thinking. Every graduate of EACC will demonstrate the ability to analyze information, interpret graphical and numerical data, demonstrate information fluency, and effectively solve problems. 2 The third core competency is personal and global awareness. Every graduate of East Arkansas Community College will demonstrate the ability to effectively evaluate their personal knowledge and abilities, learn the appropriate social skills to be successful in their careers and in life, and be able to manage their personal health and wellness effectively. Every graduate will also have a greater appreciation for the arts and sciences, and will have been given the tools to understand the importance of and to cultivate an appreciation for diversity and global issues. The fourth core competency of EACC academics is academic proficiency and professional development. It is the goal of East Arkansas Community College to have every graduate of the college demonstrate a practical application of the knowledge learned, to master an adequate amount of technology and computer skills to be successful in their chosen field and in life, to acquire the workplace skills necessary for future success, to develop and maintain a professional attitude, and to become motivated to pursue life-long learning. These abilities are needed to insure professional success in the workplace and in future endeavors. Every student that successfully learns these four core competencies will have the tools to succeed and flourish in their future education, their jobs, and their life after EACC. 3 East Arkansas Community College -Practical Nurse Program Day-By-Day July 2021 All 2021-22 calendar dates are subject to change Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 1 2 Faculty Report 5 6 7 8 9 Closed for the PN orientation in PN orientation in MH Lecture Psychiatric 4th of 103 Allied Health 103 Allied Health Begins Medications July Building Building- Psychiatric Meds IDs made/parking Do child abuse Sticker info given Assign group HW certificates Out.
