  8. Designing a preparation tutorial • What do you want to say? • Who are you speaking to? • What result do you want to see? • What do you want the response to be?

  9. Purpose of the Canyons tutorial • Provide quality preparation information on content and format to new entering students • Change the attitude • Encourage students to take personal responsibility for being prepared for college. • Increasing faculty confidence in the accuracy of placement. • Decreasing the number of complaints to administration from both students and parents. • Provide a tool to high school counselors and advisors for use in advising high school students. • Change the perception that students have no control over their score and placement is something done TO them.

  10. How to do a tutorial • Set up a design crew • Scripts • Assessment example handout • Write out the script first • Organize the progression of ideas

  11. Storyboards • The best thing since the automatic outline format. Why? • They force you to be concise • Easy to see when you are going off topic. • Can Google free storyboard templates or make your own

  12. Storyboard Example

  13. Set up a production crew Reliance on available resources • Audio Visual department for cameras • Media students for camera work • Theatre students as actors • Campus public information office for tone and flow of the information • Counselors, instructors, and Assessment Center staff as script editors • Post production editing most valuable resource.

  14. Research “One Shot Deal? Students perceptions of assessment and course placement in California’s community colleges.” Venezia, A., Bracco, K.R. & Nodine, T. (2010) San Francisco: WestEd “This study found that students in California’s community colleges generally experience assessment and placement not as a process for which they begin preparing in high school, but as a single event- a one shot deal, with pivotal consequences, for which many feel uninformed and underprepared.”

  15. Recommnendations • The WestEd study has several worthy recommendations but this one provided the impetus to develop a tutorial. • “Community colleges should devlop clear messages about assessment and placement, pilot different approaches to communicating this information to high school students, and determine which one is most effective.”
