1 DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION SHAKE-UP: GATEWAY’S ACADEMIC REDESIGN Presenters: Dr. Kerri McKenna, Assistant Professor, English Chelsea Law, Instructor, Mathematics

2 SESSION OBJECTIVES Participants will review data, curriculum, and lessons learned for: MAT 65 + MT 50 co-requisite developmental math courses. RDG 100 + Gen. Ed. co-requisite developmental reading courses. ENG 101 + ENG 100 co-requisite developmental writing courses. Participants will be able to ask questions about our courses and our redesign.

3 STRUCTURE OF REDESIGN SubjectPrevious Sequence Revised Sequence Math MAT 55 MAT 65 6 credit hours / 2 courses MAT 65 + MT 50 co-requisite 5 credit hours / 1 semester All students enrolled in both courses Reading RDG 30 Gen. Ed. course 6 credit hours / 2 courses RDG 100 + Gen. Ed. course co-requisite 5 credit hours / 1 semester Students come from different Gen. Ed. courses WritingENC 91 ENG 101 6 credit hours / 2 courses ENG 101 + ENG 100 co-requisite 5 credit hours / 1 semester Only half of the students are enrolled in ENG 100

4 MAT 65 + MT 50 5 credit hours / 1 semester Catalog Number Average Pass Rate Fall 2010 – Summer 2014 Pass Rate Fall 2014 Pass Rate Spring 2015 Pass Rate Fall 2015 MAT 5572.74% MAT 6565.59%62.64%65.79% MAT 65 + MT 5072.83%70.69%69.44%

5 Entire curriculum sequencing available in handout MAT 65 + MT 50 Week MAT 65 Sequence (75-minute class) MAT 65 + MT 50 Sequence (75-minute class + 50-minute lab) 1Review Real Numbers Order of Operations 2Exponents Order of Operations Solving Simple Linear Equations 3Simplifying Expressions Fractions 4 Simplifying Expressions Solving Linear Equations Fractions 5Solving Linear Inequalities Exponents Simplifying Expressions 5 credit hours / 1 semester

6 Lessons Learned Balance between review and new topics Workshop time needs to be structured Very low-scoring students are not prepared for the accelerated course Group/active learning activities show greatest success Regular attendance is essential MAT 65 + MT 50 MAT 55 TimeMAT 65 TimeResult 2 weeks14 weeksNot prepared for 65 topics 4 weeks12 weeksBest fit 8 weeks Difficult, rushed transition to 65 5 credit hours / 1 semester

7 Expansion This co-requisite model has had preliminary success in math for Fall 2015 STA 220 + STA 96 is also being piloted All new co-requisite models utilize active learning methodology ADDITIONAL MATH COURSES MAT 110 Pass Rate MAT 110 + MAT 50 Pass Rate 69.44%89.47% MAT 146 Pass Rate MAT 146 + MAT 96 Pass Rate 66.67%74.34%

9 Implemented as a flipped classroom (all lectures and quizzes online) Gen. Ed. class textbook is used as course tool Entire curriculum sequencing available in handout RDG 100 + GEN. ED. WeekRDG 100 Sequence 1Strategic Reading Application 2Context Clues, Vocabulary Packet 3Skimming, Previewing, Outlining 4Cornell Note Taking, Summary 5Synthesis, Paragraph Patterns 5 credit hours / 1 semester

10 Lessons Learned Some course pairings work better than others o Pair with full-time faculty or well-trained part-time faculty o Consistency of course, textbook, and instructor commitment o Limit the courses that are paired with RDG 100 50-minute sections are intensive The flipped classroom is successful RDG 100 + GEN. ED. 5 credit hours / 1 semester

11 ENG 101 + ENG 100 Catalog Number Average Pass Rate Fall 2010 – Summer 2014 Pass Rate Fall 2014 Pass Rate Spring 2015 Pass Rate Fall 2015 ENC 9172.30% ENG 10176.92%65.40%76.95% ENG 100 + ENG 10175.86%72.88%76.12% 5 credit hours / 1 semester

12 ** Entire curriculum sequencing in handout ENG 101 + ENG 100 WeekENG 101 SequenceENG 100 Sequence 1 Thinking about Writing; Invention and the Writing process Practice exercises: invention and the writing process; grammar concepts 2 Thesis statements, organization, paragraph development, topic and concluding sentences, transitions Practice exercises: thesis statements, organization, paragraph development, topic and concluding sentences, transitions; grammar concepts 3 Introduction and concluding paragraphs; working outlines Practice exercises: introductions, conclusions, and working outlines; grammar concepts 4 Revision practice: paragraph development and internal unity Practice exercises: paragraph development and internal unity; grammar concepts 5 Paper #1 – Narrative Essay; in-class readings for discussion Practice exercises: planning a narrative essay; grammar concepts Entire curriculum sequencing available in handout 5 credit hours / 1 semester

13 Lessons Learned The same faculty need to be used for both courses Mixed skill-sets in the classroom and scheduling are challenges Two-day scheduling and same-day scheduling present different options for classroom format Part-time faculty need to be well-trained before taking part in the paired courses Students are going on to succeed o 83.3% of Fall 2014 accelerated students passed ENG 102 in Spring 2015 ENG 101 + ENG 100 5 credit hours / 1 semester
