  1. DevelopmentalEducation Shake-Up:Gateway’s Academic Redesign Presenters: Dr. Kerri McKenna, Assistant Professor, English Chelsea Law, Instructor, Mathematics

  2. Session Objectives Participants will review data, curriculum, and lessons learned for: MAT 65 + MT 50 co-requisite developmental math courses. RDG 100 + Gen. Ed. co-requisite developmental reading courses. ENG 101 + ENG 100 co-requisite developmental writing courses. Participants will be able to ask questions about our courses and our redesign.

  3. Structure of Redesign

  4. MAT 65 + MT 50 5 credit hours / 1 semester

  5. MAT 65 + MT 50 5 credit hours / 1 semester Entire curriculum sequencing available in handout

  6. MAT 65 + MT 50 5 credit hours / 1 semester Lessons Learned • Balance between review and new topics • Workshop time needs to be structured • Very low-scoring students are not prepared for the accelerated course • Group/active learning activities show greatest success • Regular attendance is essential

  7. Additional math courses Expansion • This co-requisite model has had preliminary success in math for Fall 2015 • STA 220 + STA 96 is also being piloted • All new co-requisite models utilize active learning methodology

  8. RDG 100 + Gen. ed. 5 credit hours / 1 semester * Indicates that a sample size of less than 30 was used ** Indicates a curriculum change

  9. RDG 100 + gen. ed. 5 credit hours / 1 semester • Implemented as a flipped classroom (all lectures and quizzes online) • Gen. Ed. class textbook is used as course tool Entire curriculum sequencing available in handout

  10. RDG 100 + gen. ed. 5 credit hours / 1 semester Lessons Learned • Some course pairings work better than others • Pair with full-time faculty or well-trained part-time faculty • Consistency of course, textbook, and instructor commitment • Limit the courses that are paired with RDG 100 • 50-minute sections are intensive • The flipped classroom is successful

  11. ENG 101 + Eng 100 5 credit hours / 1 semester

  12. ENG 101 + Eng 100 5 credit hours / 1 semester ** Entire curriculum sequencing in handout Entire curriculum sequencing available in handout

  13. Eng 101 + Eng 100 5 credit hours / 1 semester Lessons Learned • The same faculty need to be used for both courses • Mixed skill-sets in the classroom and scheduling are challenges • Two-day scheduling and same-day scheduling present different options for classroom format • Part-time faculty need to be well-trained before taking part in the paired courses • Students are going on to succeed • 83.3% of Fall 2014 accelerated students passed ENG 102 in Spring 2015
