1 COLLEGE ALGEBRA LEARNING COMMUNITY Tulsa Community College, West Campus Presenter Lori Mayberry, B.S., M.S. Associate Professor of Mathematics and Physics NACEP National Conference October 23-25, 2011
2 CALC Project - Summary The Problem Oklahoma only requires three credits of mathematics for high school graduation, so the majority of the students will complete Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II by the end of their sophomore or junior year. The students who choose not to progress through the traditional trigonometry/calculus path often decide not to take a math class during their junior and/or senior year(s). When this same population of students decides to attend college, they often delay their mathematics requirements until later in their college career. This time gap in mathematics education makes it nearly impossible for students to maintain the appropriate skill level required to be successful in a college algebra class. It is then no surprise that college algebra, a gate-keeper class, has a very low success rate. The Tulsa Community College Achieving the Dream data ( ) confirmed this situation and showed several other areas of concern. For first-time, first-semester freshman, 68.9% of the students tested into various levels of developmental math courses. Of the 30.2% of students who tested into a college-level math course, only 60.9% successfully passed the college algebra course (Success = A, B or C). The data also supports the fact that students who test into developmental math are less likely to graduate with a degree. From 2004 to 2006, an average of 8.8% of students who started in a developmental math course earned a TCC degree. The problem with college algebra having low success rates and the developmental math path leading to low graduation rates is considerable and far reaching. Due to the various issues associated with different student populations, it is impossible to solve this problem with only one method. However, in an effort to find a solution for at least one student population, the following high school target group was developed: Students who can score a 21 or above on the math sub-score of the ACT. (TCC requirement for college algebra.) Students in their senior year of high school. Students who express a desire to attend college. Students who will need college algebra for their degree plan. Students whose major will not require mathematics higher than college algebra.
3 CALC Project - Summary The CALC Project During the spring 2008 semester, a TCC mathematics professor, along with high school administrators and a mathematics teacher began working together on the CALC (College Algebra Learning Community) project. The TCC professor shared college algebra course objectives, and the group developed the college algebra preparatory curriculum to be implemented at the high school level. Two documents were also developed, the CALC Information Sheet and the Parent/Student Commitment Letter. To date, all participating school districts have made modifications to certain parts of these documents to meet their individual needs. (See the attached CALC Information Sheet and Commitment Letter for a more detailed list of responsibilities.) The project basics are as follows: During the spring semester prior to the CALC project school year, the high school identifies and recruits students per class for the project. These students must meet the Tulsa Community College requirements for dual enrollment and have the appropriate ACT math sub-score. (See the attached Dual Enrollment Policy.) During the fall semester of the CALC project school year, the high school students attend a dedicated high school class period for the college algebra preparatory curriculum taught by a qualified high school teacher. This curriculum targets specific objectives that TCC college algebra faculty identified as difficult concepts for students. (See the attached Intermediate and College Algebra Content.) Before the fall semester is over, the students complete enrollment in a dedicated TCC 16-week Internet college algebra course for the spring semester. They also begin working through curriculum in the College Algebra Preparatory course on the MyMathLab website. This allows students to become familiar with the website prior to beginning the TCC college algebra course in the spring. During the spring semester of the CALC project school year, the students continue to attend the dedicated class period at the high school. Within the classroom, the students work through the Internet college algebra course. The high school teacher transitions into a tutor role, providing supplemental instruction and monitoring student progress through the college algebra course. The TCC professor communicates weekly with the high school teacher as to the progress of each student. This allows for early interventions and consistent support. (All students participating in the CALC project complete a FERPA Student Records Release Form to allow communication between TCC and the high school.)
4 CALC Project - Summary The Results School Year Number of Schools Participating Number of Students Enrolled Number of Withdraws (W, AU, I) Final Grades A's B's C's D's F's Student Success Rate Success Rate Minus Withdraws % 100% % 80% % 95.6% 3-Year Totals % 94.5% All TCC college algebra courses 11,731 2,676 2,514 2,489 2, % 77.7% The original goal of this project focused only on creating an environment in which students could successfully complete college algebra. In reality, the CALC project has provided students with an enriching college mathematics experience. Not only did students earn college credit, but they gained other valuable experiences that will be beneficial to their future college coursework. Students experienced the online learning format, enabling them to choose the instructional format (online or face-to-face) that best fits their individual learning style. Students discovered the importance of time management skills as a key to successfully completing a college-level course. Students learned to ask for help and to communicate appropriately with their instructor. Students noticed the importance and benefits of persistence with college coursework. (The withdrawal rate for the CALC Project was 5.2% compared to the TCC average for college algebra of 22.8%.) Students gained confidence to continue on with other college courses.
5 CALC Project Information Sheet Your child has been identified as a possible candidate for a College Algebra Learning Community Project to be offered by Tulsa Community College in cooperation with the high school mathematics department. The goal of this project is for all students involved to successfully complete a TCC college algebra course during the spring semester of the next school year. Please review the project information below: Tulsa Community College responsibilities: The TCC professor will provide the high school with college algebra preparatory curriculum and objectives, which will be used during the fall semester to prepare students for the college algebra course. (Each high school instructor is given a MyMathLab code and access to a pre-designed college algebra prep class.) In December, the TCC professor will conduct an on-site student orientation session. During the spring semester, TCC will offer a dedicated 16-week Internet college algebra course for the high school s students. The TCC professor will keep the high school instructor updated as to the weekly progress of the students throughout the spring semester. High School responsibilities: The high school will provide a dedicated class period and qualified instructor for the project. The high school will provide students with computers and Internet access during the dedicated class period. The high school will identify and recruit seniors per class for the project. The high school instructor will teach the college algebra preparatory curriculum during the fall semester. During the spring semester, the high school instructor will provide supplemental instruction and will monitor student progress through the college algebra course. Student responsibilities: Students must take the February, April, or June ACT exam. (If the student s ACT exam score does not meet the acceptance or enrollment criteria, the student may take the Residual ACT at TCC s Northeast campus. Call for more information.) Students must successfully complete (grade of C or above) the college algebra preparatory curriculum during the fall semester. By the beginning of November, students must qualify for and enroll in the Tulsa Community College Attend College Early (ACE) program and the dedicated Internet college algebra course. Acceptance into the ACE program and college algebra course requires: o ACT composite of 19 or above, or H.S. GPA of 3.0 or above o ACT math score of 21 or above Students must purchase the MyMathLab Student Access Kit. (Approx: $80) Students must pay the appropriate TCC fees. (Approx: $100) Students must continue to attend the high school s dedicated class period throughout the entire spring semester. Students must make arrangements to take the midterm and final exam at a Tulsa Community College Testing Center. Students and their parents must sign a project commitment letter. Students will complete a FERPA Student Records Release Form to allow communication between TCC and the high school instructor.
