  2. Summer Algebra AcademyCentral Themes • Create a College Going Culture • Increase UC and CSU Eligibility Rates • Increase UC and CSU Application, Admission and Enrollment Rates • Increase Collaboration between all Pre-Collegiate Partners • Strategic Intervention • Research and Data Driven

  3. Algebra I – The Gatekeeper • California students fail Algebra I at extraordinarily high rates. • In 2006-07, an expected 40% of the state’s 9th graders will need to repeat the course. • In fall 2004, nearly 48,000 Los Angeles Unified School District, 9th graders took beginning Algebra and 44% failed the course. SOURCE: Helfand, D. (2006, January 10). A Formula for Failure in L.A. Schools.Los Angeles Times, p. A1.

  4. SUMMER ALGEBRA ACADEMIES Research tells us that freshmen: - are fearful of high school facility - need an adult figure to mentor them - seek advice about college/careers from teacher - turn to parents for advice about college

  5. SUMMER ALGEBRA ACADEMIES Research tells us that freshmen (cont): - don’t understand the importance of 9th grade - under-perform in their classes - a significant portion fail 9th grade algebra - many students do not complete homework

  6. SUMMER ALGEBRA ACADEMIES Research tells us that freshmen (cont): - watch over 25 hours of television per week - spend about 5 hours on homework per week - parents give students less than 1 hour (38 minutes) of undivided attention per week

  7. SUMMER ALGEBRA ACADEMIES Research tells us that freshmen (cont): - with clear career goals and professional aspirations perform better academically - who have identified what college or university they want to attend outperform their peers

  8. SUMMER ALGEBRA ACADEMIES Research tells us that: - 9th grade academic failure manifests itself as a 10th grade dropout problem
