College Readiness

New Mexico’s Remediation Challenge Community College #1: 76% of incoming high school students in Fall 2017 were not prepared for college level Math; 67% were not prepared for college level English courses Community College #2: 98% of students in the Fall 2017 semester were not prepared for college level Math; 71% were not prepared for college level English Statewide, 39 percent of entering high school students require at least one remedial course. 46% in FY?

Alternative Remediation Strategies Promote models that are successful Analyze success of traditional and alternative remediation models Difficulty collecting data on alternative remediation Implemented codes in HED data systems for Co-requisite, Stretch, and Self-Paced Models Recommendations from faculty committees for improving remediation Multiple measures for placement Improve advising Update curriculum

General Education Reforms Dan will present here

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS General Education requires students to complete courses from a distribution of “essential skills” and also a distribution of “content areas”.

Timeline: General Education Implementation Training for new certification form will begin with the curriculum committee April/May 2018 New administrative rules effective June 2018 Proposed Courses will be reviewed beginning Fall 2018. In Catalogs Fall 2019 Current General Education courses will be grandfathered in Will remain in the General Education Curriculum Must be re-certified for skills by Fall 2020

ARTICULATION AND TRANSFER STATEWIDE META-MAJORS Meta-Majors are initial degree pathways that fulfill the starting requirements of several college majors within a similar subject area. Meta Majors are being developed in parallel with Degree Mapping CHEMISTRY MAJOR SCIENCE META MAJOR PHYSICS MAJOR BIOLOGY MAJOR DEFINE META MAJORS

Degree Mapping

Degree Mapping Collaboration with the Institute of Design and Innovation (IDI) to build degree plans. In the first phase of the project, institutions receive: A basic course listing that displays courses by university, college, department, etc. Detailed term-by-term degree plans tied to workforce information and degree/career exploration that are available to students on your institution’s website A dashboard that will analyze curricular complexity. In the future, if student data is provided, IDI will develop a system that will allow institutions to track the progress of their students relative to the degree these students are pursuing.  

Update: Degree Mapping Progress at CNM, ENMU, and ENMU Roswell has stalled. CCC, ENMU Ruidoso, Mesalands CC, Luna CC, NMJC, SIPI, UNM Gallup are working on requirement entry WNMU, UNM Taos, and NM Tech are in the data upload stage. NNMC, SFCC,and San Juan College are in their plan building stage We have completed the rake task for the NMSU data. However, we are still in need of an updated university layouts file with CIP Codes. New Mexico Highlands, UNM Los Alamos, and UNM Valencia are ready to publish their sites.

Degree Mapping, Statewide Meta-majors, and Transfer Modules The degree plan initiative is part of HED’s trifecta of articulation and transfer reform. To this end, in part two of the project, degree plans will be analyzed in conjunction with degree plans from other institutions in order to build: Statewide meta-majors and Cross-institutional degree plans (transfer modules). The statewide meta-majors and cross-institutional degree plans produced will be approved by HEIs and the New Mexico Curriculum and Articulaion Committee Approved statewide meta-majors and cross institutional degree plans will be guaranteed to transfer and articulate between institutions for the designated programs.   New Mexico Curriculum and Articulation Committee (an advisory committee convened by HED that will consist of one representative from each institution’s curriculum committee),  

Advanced Placement

AP Policy – Implementation Fall 2018 Met with Chief Academic Officers on November 2, 2017 to discuss strategy HED staff requested and consolidated AP policies from all HEIs Proposal includes which course or courses a student would receive credit for with a score of 3, 4, or 5 on an AP test 35 AP Courses were reviewed: Arts English History & Social Studies Math & Computer Science Sciences World Languages & Cultures Psychology Presented proposal to Curriculum Committee January 26, 2018 Consensus reached with HEIs on acceptance of the proposed Statewide AP Policy Subjects for AP Courses Arts English History & SS Math & CS Sciences World Languages & Cultures 7 of the states policy was done through legislation SB 208 Senator Sapien HB 204 Representative Romero
