  1. Quality Enhancement Plan Joey Offer, Ph.D. QEP Director

  2. QEP Central Goal: Considerations • Survey results from the ACC community and the greater Austin community • ACC student success data • Current ACC initiatives • Scalable successes • Best use of college resources • Broadest impact on student learning

  3. Narrowing the Focus The Mathematics Department was charged with narrowing the focus. • Build on previous successes • Use current research and best practices • Sufficiently focus the topic to implement in five years

  4. Narrowing the Focus Mathematics faculty proposed and the college approved Math PLUS – a redesign of the lowest level developmental mathematics course. The overall intention is to redesign entire algebra sequence, but this is not reasonable for completion in QEP timeframe.

  5. QEP Student Learning Outcomes Math PLUS has five student learning outcomes: • Students will perform operations on rational numbers. • Students will simplify algebraic expressions. • Students will solve linear equations in one variable. • Students will solve problems involving perimeter and area. • Students will solve problems using ratios, proportions, and percents.

  6. Math PLUS Strategies • Redesign Basic Math Skills • collaborative learning activities • study skills • technology • Provide Professional Development

  7. Implementation

  8. Assessing Math PLUS • Assessment of Central Goal • Success rates in MATD 0332: Basic Math with Collaborative Learning • Success rates in next level courses • Quasi-Experiment • Compare success rates in MATD 0332 Basic Math with Collaborative Learning to success rates in MATD 0330 Basic Math Skills (Spring 13, Fall 13, Spring 14) • Compare course progression from MATD 0332 to next course versus MATD 0330 to next course • Additional Data • Pre/post items, focus groups, classroom observations, faculty logs, student work/journals, workshop evaluations and faculty surveys

  9. Expected Impact of Math PLUS Math PLUS(Practice, Learn, Understand, Succeed) will impact : • student learning, • retention, • preparation for study in many disciplines, and • faculty and staff across the college.
