  5. placed in dev ed Data from Recent Studies The Community College Research Center at Columbia (CCRC) has found that “that few students referred to developmental education progress through their developmental education sequence of courses to succeed in college-level courses: within four years, only . . . 45 percent of students in the study successfully completed a course in college-level . . . English.” passed ENG101 in 4 years 45% did not pass ENG101 in 4 years 55%

  22. What do we do in the ALP 052 class? The instructor for the ALP 052 section has one goal: to do everything possible to maximize the ALP students’ likelihood of success in the 101 class. • The class is conducted as a writing workshop supporting the students as they also take ENG 101 • answering questions about the 101 class • lots of writing, mostly short papers that reinforce what has been discussed in the 101 class or prepare for what will be discussed in the 101 class • discussing ideas for the next essay in 101 • reviewing drafts of essays the students are working on for 101 • working on reducing the frequency and severity of error in the students’ writing • discussing how to succeed as a college student • discussing problems interfering with the students’ progress in 101

  23. What do we do in the ALP 052 class? The instructor for the ALP 052 section has one goal: to do everything possible to maximize the ALP students’ likelihood of success in the 101 class. • The class is conducted as a writing workshop supporting the students as they also take ENG 101 • answering questions left over from the 101 class • lots of writing, mostly of short papers that reinforce what has been discussed in the 101 class or prepare for what will be discussed in the 101 class • discussing ideas for the next essay in 101 • reviewing drafts of essays the students are working on for 101 • working on reducing the frequency and severity of error in the students’ writing • discussing how to succeed as a college student • discussing problems interfering with the students’ progress in 101

  24. Characteristics of an ALP Class That Seem to Contribute to Success ALP students are mainstreamed into the credit-level writing course. The pipeline through with ALP students have to pass is shortened by one semester. ALP Students work with stronger writers in their credit English course. ALP Students are members of a small cohort, who spend six hours a week together. Taking credit English concurrently with developmental English provides a meaningful context for the developmental course The small class size of ALP sections allows the instructor to tailor the course to the needs of these students. ALP instructors recognize the importance of paying attention to affective and life issues of their students. The same instructor teaches the ALP course and the credit course.
