California Community Colleges' (CCC's) Fund for Instructional Improvement (FII) was created in 1977 to support the improvement of teaching and learning in the CCC's through a program of grants and loans fostering innovative educational programs and services. This report provides information on the FII, as well as a list of the model projects supported by the Fund in the 1993-94 academic year. First, information is provided on the development and focus of the FII, indicating that the original activities related to non-traditional instruction, teaching improvement, educationally disadvantaged students, educational services for non-traditional students, and improving traditional instruction were expanded to include statewide priorities and staff development. Next, funding descriptions are provided of the FII's four major funding categories: loans, grants, special project grants, and grant/loan combinations. This section also indicates that in 1993-94, a total of $1,107,000 was allocated through FII, including $736,000 in grants and $371,000 in loans. Finally, following information on types of projects funded and criteria used to award funding, two lists are provided of 37 projects receiving funding in 1993-94. The first list presents colleges, program titles, and page references to the CCC funding priorities guide, while the second includes the project number, college district, funding category, amount awarded, a brief description, telephone numbers for project contacts, and the college address.
