  2. Overview of Presentation • Background of Bridges to Success • Overview of Phase I • Nine Institutions • Overview of Phase II

  3. Bridges to Success seeks to improve student success by systematically linking three successful strategies: • Guided degree pathways • Redesigned mathematics gateway courses • Co-requisite remediation Overview of Bridges to Success

  4. Guided Degree Pathways Guided pathways establish clear academic maps for a degree program and indicate sequencing of milestone courses along the way to a degree, allowing students to make informed choices and to be placed into a default pathway of courses coupled with intrusive advising triggered by evidence that the student is beginning to wander from a successful path.

  5. Redesigned Mathematics Gateway Courses: College algebra is primarily a preparatory course for programs (such as STEM disciplines) that require pre-calculus or calculus. Alternative gateway mathematics courses (such as in quantitative reasoning or statistics) prepare students for programs of study that do not require calculus (such as health sciences, social sciences, liberal arts, education and business).

  6. Corequisite remediation: Rather than facing a long sequence of prerequisite, non-credit courses, students get up to speed while working toward their degree. Students enroll directly into college-level courses and receive simultaneous academic support. Additional, mandatory class periods or customized support in a lab provide “just in time” academic support within a college-level course.

  7. Funding: The Bridges to Success initiative is supported by the Helmsley Trusts.The Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) used the trust to provide grants and technical assistance through this initiative to public institutions in Ohio to improve student success by systematically linking guided degree pathways, redesigned mathematics gateway courses, and corequisite remediation.

  8. B2S Phase I- Planning: During Phase I, nine public Ohio institutions were awarded planning grants of up to $20,000. Those awards were based off of each institution’s plans to: • create and pilot three to five structured pathways • develop plans for scalable implementation

  9. Nine Awarded Institutions During Phase I: • Kent State  • Lorain County Community College  • Marion Technical College • Rio Grande Community College • Shawnee State University • Sinclair Community College • Stark State College • Wright State University • Youngstown State University

  10. B2S Phase II- Implementation: Phase II of Bridges to Success centered on the scalable implementation of Phase I’s plans. Three institutions have been selected to receive funding to implement proposals set out in Phase I: • Marion Technical College (MTC)  • Shawnee State University • Wright State University

  11. B2S and OMI • Interact with Subgroup 1 • Collect information • Develop repository of resources • Create learning community of • Provide statewide technical assistance for corequisites
