8 What do we do in the ALP 052 class? The instructor for the ALP 052 section has one goal: to do everything possible to maximize the ALP students likelihood of success in the 101 class. answering questions left over from the 101 class lots of writing, mostly of short papers that reinforce what has been iiiidiscussed in the 101 class or prepare for what will be discussed in iiiithe 101 class discussing ideas for the next essay in 101 reviewing drafts of essays the students are working on for 101 working on grammar and punctuation discussing how to succeed as a college student discussing problems interfering with the students progress in 101

18 Costs Under Traditional Model 1000 students

19 Costs Under Traditional Model 20 students per section

20 Costs for Dev Course Under Traditional Model 50 sections of Dev Eng X 3 faculty credit hours/section = 150 faculty credit hours

21 Costs for ENG 101 Under Traditional Model 54% of traditional developmental students take X 1000 = 540 students 540 students 20 students/section = 27 sections 27 sections X 3 faculty credit hours/section = 81 faculty credit hours

22 Costs Under Traditional Model total for developmental course = total for 101= total = 150 faculty credit hours 81 faculty credit hours 231 faculty credit hours

23 Costs Under ALP 1000 students

24 Costs Under ALP 8 students per section

25 Costs Under ALP Model 125 sections of ALP Dev Eng X 2 faculty credit hours/section = 250 faculty credit hours

26 Costs for FYC Under ALP Model 100% of ALP developmental students take ENG X 1000 = 1000 students 1000 students 20 students/section = 50 sections 50 sections X 3 faculty credit hours/section = 150 faculty credit hours

34 ALP Summary Based on four semesters of data and 227 students, compared to traditional developmental writing: ALP increases the success rate by 75 per cent. cuts the attrition rate in half does it in half the time at slightly less cost per successful student

37 The New Developmental Education Traditional Model Bottom up curriculum Minimal expectations Long pipeline to credit courses Addresses discipline skills No discrete cohorts Teacher centered Remediation as a hurdle before credit courses Remedial course completion is goal Acceleration Model Top down curriculum High expectations Shortened pipeline to credit courses Addresses whole learner Cohort based Student centered Remediation as concurrent support for credit courses Credit and degree attainment goal

40 The CCRC/Hewlett Grant A project in which CCBC will assist two other colleges, LaGuardia Community College and Patrick Henry Community College, to pilot and then to scale up ALP. In the second year, two additional colleges will join the project. A major focus of this project is faculty development.

41 The ALP Inquiry Network Nine faculty members on one credit re-assigned time to develop a document and other materials to provide guidance to ALP faculty, especially those new to the program. These materials will be available to other schools using a software platform.

42 3rd National Conference on Acceleration in Developmental Education June 16 th to 17th 2011: two days of presentations on acceleration in reading, math, and writing. June 15th 2011: Pre-Conference Workshops on acceleration options in math and on starting up ALP at your school. Plenary speakers: Uri Treisman (University of Texas at Austin). Director of the Charles A. Dana Center and Senior Partner at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Professor Treisman will discuss the innovative approach to developmental math known as StatWay. W. Norton Grubb (University of California, Berkeley).
