  1. Breaking the Accuplacer Barriers for Adult Basic Skills Students Educational Developmental Intentional Teaching Conference Chippewa Valley Technical College Eau Claire, Wisconsin May 21, 2014 Presenters Arturo Martinez PhD - Associate Dean Diane Jefferson PhD - Faculty/Instructional Chair Monica Luksic - Math Faculty ABE Julie Gall – English Faculty ABE

  2. The ProblemAt Community Collegessource: (2010) Beyond the Rhetoric: Improving College Readiness Through Coherent State Policy. First Year Students College ready Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC

  3. MATC Admission into a program based on Accuplacer Score Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC

  4. ABE Math Accelerated pathway to Post-Secondary The College Pathway for ABE Students Students ‘ level of academic readiness allows them to enter at any of these academic college pathways. Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC Up to a 2 semester pathway 1 years

  5. MATC data collected from a 2012 study of a similar student population Tracked 1,510 direct High School students who applied for Associate Degree program in Fall 2008 (Fa 2009) and registered for at least one course at MATC over a four year period. 1,131 students took (Math) courses. Tracked placement, enrollment and success outcomes. The study looked at the three level of students those college ready, those admitted on a conditional status and those considered non-college ready students College Ready 446 Placed in college level Math (39%) Non-College Ready 332 Placed in basic skill level Math (29%) Conditional Status 353 Placed in PLI Math (31%) 184 Took college level math in First Year Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC 166 took PLI Math in first year 142 took BS Math in first year 106 Pass 55% 93 pass 56% 73 pass 51%

  6. ABE MATH integrated with Post-Secondary Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC

  7. The Transform Remediation Modelsource: Complete College America Transform Remediation Co-requisite model – Students start in college math or English Gateway course that is paired with an ABE developmental class. • The focus of the co-requisite model is to reduce the amount of time that students would spend in remedial developmental courses by one semester. • Increase the completion rate of ABE students in a Math pre-requisite course needed to move into their Math program courses without the need to re-take the Accuplacer. • In spring of 2014 pilot an ABE accelerated integrated model with a Math PLI course. Served 24 students.

  8. Outcomes first Math Cohort Group spring 2014 Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC

  9. Math Pilot final completion rate compared with 3 randomly selected Math PLI 109 sections at mid-term Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC

  10. English Pilot 2014 completion rate at mid-term compared with 3 randomly selected English 151 sections

  11. ABE/Math courseIntegrated with Math 109 Course • Need to establish a strong collaboration with Math 109 faculty • The need to share students grades, students progress, lessons. • High level of students motivation • Students build a strong learning community • More small group and hands-on activities Dr. Arturo Martinez Associate Dean - MATC

  12. The ABE Companion Course Teacher reflection on implementation. • Teachers need for knowing and understanding basic skill students. • Classroom atmosphere..... • difference between traditional Academic Transition Courses and the Math Integrated course.
