  1. The Developmental Landscape • Lack of readiness for college-level math & English • Lack of articulation/transition between high school math standards and college-level math standards • High failure rates in developmental math courses and subsequent math courses • Impact on retention

  2. Strategies • Re-design 3rd and 4th year h.s. math courses: Introduce modules to assess/reinforce math skills needed for college. • Diagnose skills at time of college placement • Offer “fast track” course modules to improve placement • Offer “all in 1” developmental math courses (basic math, beginning algebra, and intermediate algebra) • Assess learning styles and match instruction accordingly • Form learning communities for skills in all areas

  3. Resources: MathXL and MyMathLab • Study Plan: Test-Teach-Retest; Self-paced learning • Prerequisite Settings: Mastery Approach • Diagnostic Placement /Fast Tracks • Item Analysis • Combination courses (All in 1) • Multi-media content to support learning styles

  4. Open Entry Open Exit Prerequisite Assignments Personal Study Plan

  5. Resources: Reading and Writing DIAGNOSE PRACTICE / STUDY PLAN MASTERY RE-ASSESS

  6. Review or expand on important topics you cover in your class You can customize the content The CourseConnect Program • Libraries of digital content modules for 36 courses (“course in a box”) • Lecture/lesson-driven • Available in any Course Management System (e.g Angel, Blackboard) • Assessment items included with the libraries • Rich media throughout organized by learning styles Students interact with the content in meaningful ways to reinforce material you want them to master
