  2. Stepping into UDL Creating an optimal learning environment to facilitate student success

  3. Four Components Of UDL • Goals • Methods • Materials • Assessment

  4. Goals The knowledge, concepts, and skills students need to master, and how they align to standards

  5. Goals – Setting Pathways

  6. Goals – The Student Experience

  7. Methods Instructional design choices that will accelerate or enhance learning

  8. Methods – Easy Access

  9. Methods – Engaging Climate

  10. Materials The content’s variability and flexibility

  11. Materials – Variable Media & Flexible Content

  12. Assessment Methods used to ascertain the learner’s knowledge and skills

  13. Assessment – Timeliness Structure & Eliminating Barriers

  14. Stepping into UDL Creating an optimal learning environment to facilitate student success • Increase Student Engagement • Reduce Administrative Tasks • ADA Compliant

  15. Stepping into UDL Why Use EdReady

  16. HISTORY • Dec 1, 2016 – Compass Ends • New Accuplacer contract would not be in place until after start of Spring 2017 semester • Large number of students wait until near the start of semester to do their placement testing • Chattanooga State (ChSCC) already used EdReady MATH for ACT and Compass Prep • Results from EdReady Placement Pilot

  17. EdReady Placement Goals Units 1-5 Units 6-10 Units 1-6 Units 7-15 Units 16-19

  18. EdReady English Placement Format Unit 1 – Intro to College Reading & Writing Unit 2 – Identifying Main Ideas Unit 3 – Discovering Implied Meaning Unit 4 – Interpreting Bias Unit 5 – Analysis through Definition Unit 6 – Learning Across Disciplines Unit 7 – Exploring Comparative Elements Unit 8 – Informed opinions through Causal Chains Unit 9 – Applied Critical Analysis Unit 10 – Using Sources in Critical Reading & Writing Test 1 Completion of T1 with target score of 75 allows entry to Co-Requisite ENGLISH + College Level Test 2 Completion of T1 and T2 with target scores of 75 allows entry to College Level ENGLISH

  19. Why Multiple EdReady Diagnostics? • Distinguish between requirements for: • Co-Requisite • College Level • Higher Level Math • Allow students to realize early success • Ensure greater understanding through smaller unit groups

  20. English 1010 Co-requisite • Why 10 % Points Difference • Removed from Data • Withdraws (W) • Academic Fail (FA) • Problem • Pass– the successful student • Without (W) and (FA) what does Fail mean? • How to identify students who enroll and begin a class but then drop out?

  21. English 1010 Co-requisite (Including W and FA) • Class Group • 118 students had a W or FA • 28% of the class were NOT successful and NOT included in the FAIL data • How important is a 28% drop out rate? • EdReady Group • No students had a W or FA • WHY the difference?

  22. English 1010 Co-requisite NOT Included - Withdraw and Academic Fail Includes – Withdraw and Academic Fail

  23. Lesson Learned • EdReady English Test 1 cut off score was too low • Only made a significant difference for Co-requisite English • Changed to be same level as English Test 2 - 75 • EdReady Students less likely to withdraw (W) or stop attending class (FA) • Highest W / FA for all courses • EdReady – 5% • Class Range – 15% to 28%

  24. English 1010– College Level – 11% EdReady Students

  25. English 1010 – College Level

  26. 2018 – Future for EdReady Placement • TBR approved to discontinue using Accuplacer at Chattanooga State • Track Fall 2017 Students • Use EdReady Customized Diagnostics in MATH Co-Requisite Courses? • Move Placement into High School – Started March 2018 • Seniors - place and register early for summer and fall • Juniors - place and begin Dual Enrollment Courses

  27. Available for TBR Institutions • Course Design and Content • NROC Membership • EdReady • NROC • Developmental MATH • Developmental English • HIPPO Campus • Learning Objects / Complete Courses / Content Library • Placement • ACT College Ready
