1. DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION SHAKE-UP: GATEWAY’S ACADEMIC REDESIGN Presenters: Dr. Kerri McKenna, Assistant Professor, English Chelsea Law, Instructor, Mathematics

2. SESSION OBJECTIVES Participants will review data, curriculum, and lessons learned for: MAT 65 + MT 50 co-requisite developmental math courses. RDG 100 + Gen. Ed. co-requisite developmental reading courses. ENG 101 + ENG 100 co-requisite developmental writing courses. Participants will be able to ask questions about our courses and our redesign.

STRUCTURE OF REDESIGN SubjectPrevious Sequence Revised Sequence Math MAT 55 MAT 65 6 credit hours / 2 courses MAT 65 + MT 50 co-requisite 5 credit hours / 1 semester All students enrolled in both courses Reading RDG 30 Gen.

6. Lessons Learned Balance between review and new topics Workshop time needs to be structured Very low-scoring students are not prepared for the accelerated course Group/active learning activities show greatest success Regular attendance is essential MAT 65 + MT 50 MAT 55 TimeMAT 65 TimeResult 2 weeks14 weeksNot prepared for 65 topics 4 weeks12 weeksBest fit 8 weeks Difficult, rushed transition to 65 5 credit hours / 1 semester

7. Expansion This co-requisite model has had preliminary success in math for Fall 2015 STA 220 + STA 96 is also being piloted All new co-requisite models utilize active learning methodology ADDITIONAL MATH COURSES MAT 110 Pass Rate MAT 110 + MAT 50 Pass Rate 69.44%89.47% MAT 146 Pass Rate MAT 146 + MAT 96 Pass Rate 66.67%74.34%

10. Lessons Learned Some course pairings work better than others o Pair with full-time faculty or well-trained part-time faculty o Consistency of course, textbook, and instructor commitment o Limit the courses that are paired with RDG 100 50-minute sections are intensive The flipped classroom is successful RDG 100 + GEN.

13. Lessons Learned The same faculty need to be used for both courses Mixed skill-sets in the classroom and scheduling are challenges Two-day scheduling and same-day scheduling present different options for classroom format Part-time faculty need to be well-trained before taking part in the paired courses Students are going on to succeed o 83.3% of Fall 2014 accelerated students passed ENG 102 in Spring 2015 ENG 101 + ENG 100 5 credit hours / 1 semester
