1. Achieving the Dream Fall 2010 Review & Update

2. Alignment of ATD’s Five Goals with TCC Strategic Plan

3. ATD’s Five Goals Toward Student Success • Successfully complete developmental courses and progress to credit-bearing courses • Enroll in and successfully complete gateway courses • Complete the courses they take, with a grade of C or higher • Re-enroll from one semester to the next • Earn certificates and degrees

4. 4 – Component Process

5. ATD Priorities & Interventions • 1st Year: Persistence • Strategies for Academic Success • 3rd Year: Persistence • African American Male Student Success • 2nd Year: Developmental Reading • Online Reading Lab • 3rd Year: Developmental Math • Selection Process underway

6. Interventions In Progress

7. Persistence: SAS • Developed collegewide course competencies • Developed Training Protocols • Set up Wiki-based Training for Aug. 27 • Provided online teaching resources (portfolio for teaching course competencies)

8. Persistence: African-American Male Intervention Team • Mapped barriers to Mentoring intervention design • Contacted AA male students at enrollment clinics, new student orientation, mailers • Summer 2010 designed intervention • Fall 2010 implementing AA Male Student Success Intervention

9. Persistence: Developmental Reading • Review ACT Key Train - online reading improvement software & Plato software • Select new intervention • Implement new intervention Spring 2011.

10. Persistence: Developmental Math • Examine staff/faculty/student barrier data for Basic Math and Beginning Algebra • Define target population: either basic math, beginning algebra, or both • Select or design an intervention to address barriers

11. The Way Forward

12. Persistence: SAS • Pilot alternative delivery methods for SAS (blended & online) • Fine-tune assessment measures • Explore how best to expand the student base for SAS

13. Persistence: “One College” First-year Experience Interventions • Student-identified barrier(s) linked to need for required orientation and advised enrollment • “Finding your way around campus” • “Confusing enrollment process” • “Using Blackboard and My TCC Email” • “Enrolling in too many hours”

14. Persistence: “One College” First-year Experience Interventions • Recommended Interventions: • Phase 1: Required “One College” Orientation to be developed by Orientation Intervention team (includes Directors of Student Activities and Student Development) with campus-specific information, all based on barriers • Phase 2: Advised Enrollment for all First-time Freshmen

15. Long-Range Focus on Student Success • Weave the 4-component, data-informed, intervention process into the fabric and procedures of TCC assessment, strategic planning, and the Councils • Collaborate with P-20 initiative, TA recruitment, and OSRHE to increase college readiness and decrease the need for developmental courses

16. Data Needs for AY 10-11 • Profile successful & unsuccessful students exiting SAS • SAS year-end student success report • Analyze Math faculty and staff focus group results • Student Reading I and II content interests • Analyze TA exit surveys for SAS feedback

17. More Data Needs for AY 10-11 • Data Repositories • Internal • External

18. Future Data Needs • Continue to collect and analyze student Intervention success data for Persistence in: • SAS, Math, Reading, African-American Male Students • Design a Writing intervention
