1 Action Project 11 Title: "Ready, Set, College!" - GED Transition Program Version: 1 Institution: Blackhawk Technical College Status: Active Submitted: Category: 2 - Meeting Student and Other Key Stakeholder Needs Timeline Planned project kickoff date: Target completion date: Actual completion date: Project Detail PROJECT SUMMARY Briefly describe the project in less than 100 words. Be sure to identify the key organizational areas (departments, programs, divisions, units, etc.) and key organizational processes that this action project will affect, change, and/or improve Develop a transition program to increase the number of GED/HSED completers transitioning into college programs at Blackhawk Technical College through various pre-enrollment activities: mentor connections, workshops, group team building, campus visits, career exploration, etc. Activities will be designed to assist students in completing all steps required for admission to the College, and will provide a foundation for persistence in learning. In turn, both enrollment and retention will increase across the College. Twenty-five (25) GED/HSED completers will be recruited for each of the two cohort groups. Of the 25 students recruited, 20 (80%) will successfully complete the workshop series and enroll in credit or pre-college courses the following fall semester. PROJECT RATIONALE Describe your institutions reasons for initiating this action project now and for how long it should take to complete it. Why are this project and its goals high among your institutions current priorities? Also, explain how this project relates to any strategic initiatives or challenges described in the institutions recent or soon-to-be submitted systems portfolio This project aligns with the College s Strategic plan which includes the following strategies under the priority to Increase Student Recruitment, Retention and Success: Develop a model to recruit and retain students Identify and remove barriers to enrollment In addition, BTC s Academic Plan includes the following Action Step in support of the College priority to recruit and retain students: Establish a baseline and set a target for increasing the number of adult students transitioning from GED / ELL programs to BTC programs. Currently, a small percentage of students who complete a GED/HSED through Blackhawk Technical College also transition to postsecondary programming. The Ready, Set, College! model will recruit students from a pool of adult learners who may otherwise refrain from enrolling in credit 1
2 programming. Students will participate in Ready, Set, College! as a cohort initially and throughout the workshop series/summer activities. Project team members will promote a change from cohort to learning community once students begin different courses and programs fall semester. This project will positively impact retention by facilitating activities designed to build persistence. As a result, college-wide enrollment and retention will increase.

6 Anticipated Completion Date If Not Completed: _6 / _30_/ _16 Briefly describe the current status of the project. Action project 8 is currently in the beginning stages of implementation. The project team has recently developed and collected baseline data with assistance from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness. Team members are gathering instructor input related to student readiness for success in credit courses and programming, as well as researching best practices that promote transition to, and persistence in, postsecondary programming for GED completers. Explain how this project relates to any strategic initiatives or challenges described in the institution s most recent or soon-to-be submitted systems portfolio, if applicable: In addressing the changing needs of students transitioning from GED programming to postsecondary, this project aligns with Blackhawk Technical College s strategic priority: Increase Student Recruitment, Retention, and Success and the organizational objective: Monitor and Improve Student Retention. Strategies that fall under this college priority include developing a model to recruit and retain students, and identifying and removing barriers to enrollment. The Ready, Set, College project will identify the needs of an underserved student population, front-loading information that will aid in persistence and completion of credit courses and programming. Participating students will: complete a readiness survey; take the COMPASS exam to determine placement into credit or pre-college courses; explore career options with Student Services personnel from the Career and Professional Development Office (students will complete a career interest inventory and participate in a follow-up activity which Student Services personnel will facilitate); complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid); apply to BTC; receive additional needs-based information; and, connect with BTC staff/faculty and academically successful peer mentors. Blackhawk Technical College staff and faculty will acquire knowledge and gain experience working more closely with students of this underserved population. Effective strategies, delivered through tailored workshops and related to student persistence, will assist both student and staff/faculty populations in recognizing success through increased course and program completion. Community businesses and organizations served by Blackhawk Technical College are also stakeholders in this project as they require educated and skilled workers to fill positions in their companies. Identifying the needs of the GED population specific to entry and persistence in postsecondary education will address this community need by increasing the area s skilled worker pool. Finally, in addressing students and other stakeholders needs through this project, the overall college recruitment, retention and completion rate will be positively impacted. ORIGINAL PROJECT GOALS AND DELIVERABLES List the project goals as stated in the original project declaration along with the metrics/measures for assessing the progress for each goal Develop a transition program to increase the number of GED/HSED completers transitioning into college programs at Blackhawk Technical College through various pre-enrollment activities: mentor connections, workshops, group team building, campus visits, career exploration, etc. Activities will be designed to assist students in completing all steps required for admission to the College, and will provide a foundation for persistence in learning. In turn, both 6
7 enrollment and retention will increase across the College. Twenty-five (25) GED/HSED completers will be recruited for each of the two cohort groups. Of the 25 students recruited, 20 (80%) will successfully complete the workshop series and enroll in credit or pre-college courses the following fall semester. Metrics 80% of students who enroll in the Ready, Set, College project will successfully complete the workshop series - Workshop attendance; COMPASS completion; FAFSA completion; and completion of a career inventory will be used as evidence of successful workshop completion. 80% of students who successfully complete the workshop series will enroll in college or pre-college courses fall semester, Registration in credit or pre-college courses will serve as documentation of enrollment. 80% of those students who registered for college or pre-college courses fall semester, 2015 will successfully complete and register for spring semester, 2016 college or pre-college courses Fall, 2015 to spring, 2016 registration and the College s client reporting system will be used to collect this data. 70% of those students who registered for college or pre-college courses fall semester, 2015 will successfully complete and register for fall semester, 2016 college or pre-college courses - Fall to fall retention FY16 and FY17 will be measured through registration records, the Client Reporting System, and QRP (Quality Review Process). 65% of the student group that enrolled full-time in college or pre-college courses fall semester, 2015 will complete their program by June, 2016 if enrolled in one-year programs and June, 2017 if enrolled in two-year programs; 65% of those students who enrolled part-time will have accumulated 50% of the credits required to complete the program by June, 2016 if enrolled in one-year programs and June, 2017 if enrolled in two-year programs - FY16 and FY17 college client reporting system data and other course and program completion information will be used as evidence. The percentage of students who completed their GED through Blackhawk Technical College and transitioned to credit or pre-college courses/programming at BTC will increase from 36% to 41% by fall, 2016 (some data will be collected after the action project has ended). ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST YEAR Describe what has been accomplished with this project over the past year, specifically referring to quantifiable results that show progress. You may need to include a discussion clarifying how the original goals and anticipated outcomes may have shifted during the year Since this project began on July 1, 2014, baseline data has been established as follows: Using the past three years in which complete data exists (2011, 2012, and 2013), 638 students have completed a GED through Blackhawk Technical College. Of those 638 GED completers, 36% have enrolled in credit or precollege courses at BTC. While the national average of GED completers who transition to postsecondary has been documented as low as 31% (National Center for Education Statistics, November, 2011) and as high as 44% (GED Testing Service Research Studies, ), the majority of GED transition students in these two studies enrolled in postsecondary programming for just one semester. The GED population is one that Blackhawk Technical College has targeted for improved recruitment and retention/completion success. 7
8 INSTITUTIONAL INVOLVEMENT Describe how various members of the learning community have participated in this action project. Show the breadth of involvement by individuals and groups over the projects duration, particularly during the past year Yet early in this project, action project team members consisting of a cross-representation within the college community have been identified. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness has assisted in establishing baseline data, and instructors from various programs throughout the college have provided insight as to the preparedness required of students upon entry into credit courses/programming. As the project develops, it is anticipated that additional college personnel whose area of expertise aligns with project activities, will participate as needed. Student Services staff will provide first-hand employer information relevant to expectations and potential shadowing opportunities and/or internships. Academically successful BTC students will be identified and participate as peer mentors. EFFECTIVE PRACTICES Describe the effect that this project has had on the institution, students, and others in the learning community. What has the institution learned that can be identified as a good practice to use in other aspects of its quality work or from which other institutions might benefit? Not applicable at this time. ANTICIPATED CHALLENGES TO PROJECT SUCCESS Describe the anticipated challenges that may be encountered in successfully completing the project or for institutionalizing the learning from the projects goals Anticipated challenges to the success of this project include retention of historically at-risk students (short-term within the project and long-term to mid-point of fall semester, semester-to-semester, and year-to-year to completion); and, funding to provide stronger programming. PLANNED NEXT STEPS AND TIMELINE In light of the project goals, current circumstances, institutional learning from this project, and anticipated barriers to success, list the next steps to be taken over the course of the next months in order to complete or institutionalize the results of this action project. Provide a timeline for completing each next step Tasks Start Date Duration Responsible Person(s) Establish benchmark data Office of Institutional Effectiveness Research best practices related to GED transition activities July, 2014 July, 2014 Academic Support Instructors General Education Instructors Interview instructors July, 2014 August, 2014 Develop workshop series based on research and instructor insight and to include: September October, FAFSA Completion & Financial 2014 with continuous Literacy improvement based on Career Exploration student and staff feedback.
