8 Introductions What one principle or practice from the ATD Field Guide is your institution doing well? From Developmental Education to Completion: The State and National Agenda Committed Leadership and Use of Evidence What are your strengths and challenges in these areas? What steps can you take to overcome your challenges and leverage your strengths? Sharing and Feedback

9 Broad Engagement and Systemic Institutional Improvement What are your strengths and challenges in these areas? What steps can you take to overcome your challenges and leverage your strengths? Using Data: Understanding Who Our Students Are and Making Data-Driven Decisions What story is your data telling you? Aha Moments! Next steps

10 Rethink the use of developmental education vs. student success Don t reinvent the wheel... talk to other institutions Create a schedule of town hall meetings to communicate developmental education initiatives The Ohio two-year colleges are trying to prepare a coordinated position on Achieving the Dream We need to collect more data Confirmed my intent and desire to establish a Student Success committee that invites members from all academic and student affairs divisions/departments and that includes students, faculty, staff, and administrators

11 Inclusion of technical faculty in the discussions Allow more time for sharing developmental education best practices from each college Create a list of meeting or anticipated meeting outcomes and send that list to us before the meeting so we can work toward achieving some clearly understood outcomes. An outcomes based meeting will probably help us to use our time more judiciously

12 1. Communication and Collaboration make everything happen 2. Faculty matter - Core Team expanded to include faculty/ faculty leader/ faculty development 3. Data analysis counts 4. Students don t do optional - policies are needed (no late registration, orientation, pre-requisites, student success class) 5. Go to the experts read, attend conferences, bring them in; try it: Supplemental Instruction; Collaborative Learning; My Labs 6. Location matters (tutoring center, counseling, etc.) 7. Student Ambassadors are an integral resource (peer mentors, peer leaders) 8. Outreach matters tutors, instructional specialists go to classrooms 9. Learning communities there s more to it than pairing courses 10. Training matters - sessions for tutors with Instructional Specialists and Dev Ed faculty (tutors include adjunct faculty, part-timers, etc.)

28 Identify the entity in your state or region that could take the "convener" role that OACC plays for Ohio Consider the feasibility of scheduling an "all colleges" meeting to kick things off, any potential locations How could you organize and assign the non- AtD Colleges in your state/region? Consider potential time(s) of year to host college-to-college meetings Identify unique barriers or challenges for your state/region
