Outline Grant: Developmental Education Redesign & Modularization Mini-Grant, Florida College System Guiding Principles & Course Design Course Outlines Course Scheduling Assessment, Diagnostic & Student’s Report Criteria Performance Standard

Grant Develop two modularized self-paced courses: - MAT0055-Developmental Math Modules I (1cr., 1-2 modules) -MAT0056-Developmental Math Modules II (2 cr., 3-4 modules) Courses offered to: -Students with P.E.R.T.-M scores of 110, 111 or 112 -Students completing Math diagnostic According to math diagnostic results, students are placed in MAT0055 or MAT0056 Grant requirements include the use of the P.E.R.T.-M and Math diagnostic for placement into MAT0055 of MAT0056

Guiding Design Principles What is the course format? Module based self-paced course Instructor is a facilitator in students’ learning What content needs to be in the course? Targeted learning objectives assure an effective learning experience Eliminating instructional activities that do not directly contribute to learning outcomes. How can the student use the information? Specific activities provide students the necessary skills to succeed in their Math path. Where possible, relate to real-life experiences through example and application.

Content Design MAT0055 & MAT0056 modules were designed using the Foundations of Math software. This Pearson product embeds math activities for each topic, from lower level to college level math competencies Students practice and test their math skills for specific topics included in each module with various activities for each topic Post-test included for each topic Module → topics → activities → post-test

Course Outlines MAT0055 Developmental Math Modules I MAT0056 Developmental Math Modules II MAT0055 and MAT0056 are listed in the Florida State Course Numbering System but were not listed in Valencia’s catalog Course outlines were developed and submitted to voting faculty through the college’s course outline builder for approval The College Curriculum Committee approved the outlines per committee guidelines

Course Scheduling MAT0055 is a five week course followed by MAT1033C in a 10 week course MAT 0056 is an eight week course followed by MAT1033C in an eight week course Scheduling these parts of term classes enable students to enroll in MAT1033C course schedule, completing a college-level course in the same term

Student Placement: Assessment, Diagnostic & Student’s Report P.E.R.T.-M taken in Testing and Assessment Students who score 110, 111, or 112 on the P.E.R.T-M are contacted by the West Campus Math division and scheduled to take the math diagnostic Math diagnostic is taken in the West Campus Testing Center Results of math diagnostic used to assign appropriate modules for MAT0055 or MAT0056

McCann Upper Level Math Diagnostic

Upper Level Math Diagnostic

Correlation of Upper Level Math Competencies with McCann Math Diagnostic Competencies were grouped into five categories: 1) Exponents and Polynomials 2) Factoring 3) Linear Equations 4) Radicals and 5) Graphing
