  1. Achieving the Dream Advisement Initiative Evaluation September 21, 2011

  2. Academic Advisement Initiative • Retention Alert Update • Probation Outreach • Faculty Advisement Program Update • Withdraw Outreach • Developmental Reading & Writing Retest

  3. Retention Alert: Overview & Participation • Spring 2009 : Purchased Datatel Retention module. • Summer 2009: The system was piloted. • August 2009: The Program was implemented. • Spring 2010 : A new link was created and implemented from the Angel Platform to MineOnline for easier access for faculty as well as a quick link from class rosters. • Fall 2011: More robust reporting tools. • Reflected is a 43% increase in referrals over previous year.

  4. Probation Outreach: Overview & Participation • The spring 2011 population is smaller because the list generated included all students on probation, rather than those who were on probation as a result of the previous semester, and included those enrolled in any developmental class, rather than reading/writing only, as a result it took time to “clean” the list and we were unable to reach out to as many students.

  8. Withdraw Outreach: Overview • Program began in Fall 2010. • Beginning week 2 and each week following, a list of students is generated who have dropped developmental reading and/or writing. • Students are contacted via email and phone to meet with an academic advisor beginning week 7.

  9. Withdraw Outreach: Participation & Evaluation Top 5 Reasons Students Gave for Withdrawal*: • Financial Issues • Didn’t know they were enrolled or when class started. • Moved Out of State • General Busy Life • Transportation and College Not For Them (tie) • *Unable to speak with 49% of population, due to wrong number or disconnected phone.

  10. Withdraw Outreach: Outcomes

  11. Reading/Writing Retest: Overview • Data showed little correlation between assessment test scores and course success in reading and writing. • Anecdotal observations suggested students often did not perform “their best” on the assessment. • June 2010 began requiring any student testing into developmental reading and writing level one to retest. • Goal is to more accurately place students into developmental and/or college level coursework, thus improving their opportunity for success.

  12. Original Reading Test Correlation Data • Tested Into Reading 1 = 96 Students • Tested into Reading 2 = 195 Students

  13. Original Writing Test Correlation Data • Tested into Writing 1 = 60 Students • Tested into Writing 2 = 718 Students

  14. Reading Retest: Outcomes • Stayed in the Same Level: 51% • Increased to a Higher Level: 48% • Decreased to Lower Level: 1% • Average Change in Test Score: +14.99 • Test Score Range Change: -14 to +65

  15. Writing Retest: Outcomes • Stayed in the Same Level: 52.5% • Increased to a Higher Level: 47% • Decreased to Lower Level: 0.3% • Average Change in Test Score: +14.818 • Test Score Range Change: -17 to +69

  16. Lessons Learned and Plans for the Future • Continue retesting practices. • Monitor and report on correlation and course success throughout the year.
