Issues and Concerns • Momentum Points • House Bill 5 • Performance Indicators • First-time Enrollee • Full-time Students • Summer Financial Aid
Texas Association of Community Colleges has recommended a Student Success Points system that recognizes student achievement along a continuum from successful completion of college readiness courses to intermediate success measures to successful outcome metrics. • The model also pinpoints area where metrics need to be developed and then included in the measurement of student success (e.g., ABE and High Demand Workforce metrics). Momentum Points
House Bill 5 • An initiative to create content frameworks and implementation guidelines for the college preparatory courses in mathematics and English language arts (ELA) • HB 5 requires school districts to partner with at least one institution of higher education to develop and provide college preparatory courses in math and ELA. These courses must be designed for 12th grade students who have yet to demonstrate college readiness. Students graduating under the foundation high school program, who successfully complete the math or ELA college preparatory course, may use the credit to satisfy advanced content-‐area credit requirements for graduation. Students who successfully complete the course are granted an exemption to TSI in the corresponding content area at the partnering institution. The college preparatory courses outlined in HB 5 must be made available to students 2014-2015 school year. http://www.tacc.org/pages/texas-‐success-‐center.
