New Phase II, , Community College/High School Partnerships

8. CCRG Rollout
Phase I, Optional, 7 community college/high school partnerships
Phase II, Optional, 17 additional community college/high school partnerships
Phase III, Mandatory state-wide
During Phase I and II math or English or both can be targeted
During Phase III, final implementation, if a student demonstrates need for both then the student must register for both

PHASE II MODELS

12. Model Overview
High schools will use the statewide math and/or English course
Embedded or stand alone elective
Student participates in math and/or English “course” developed by Community College System
Student identified as not college ready in math and/or English
Student enters directly into college-level math and English courses

13. Eligibility Criteria Phase I – Determined by local partnerships
< 18 in English/Reading/Writing on the ACT
<21 (22) in Mathematics on the ACT
<2.6 through 2.75 unweighted GPA (varies by model)
Phase II – Narrow eligibility criteria
Phase III – Statewide criteria
During Phase I the readiness criteria varied
Phase II – data from Phase I will narrow choices for Phase II
Statewide – criteria will be set statewide and aligned with MM

14. Mathematics – Current Models
Embedded
Essential of College Math
Advanced Function and Models
Stand-alone
Computer aided instruction
Nine week “mandatory” elective course
Semester-long “mandatory” elective course
Mastery based
Cloud based
ECM – least stringent MAR acceptable 4th math
Semester – 1st and 4th block (carrots)

15. English – Current Models
Course in development to better align with English IV
Stand-alone
Computer aided instruction
Nine week “mandatory” elective course
Semester-long “mandatory” elective
Success
80% mastery
Proficient writing samples on a minimum of two required writing assignments
Requires a Learning Management System
Is not cloud-based
Cannot reside on the colleges’ LMS

16. What is Success?
Successful completion in gateway math/English (on first attempt)
Reduced developmental education footprint
“Credit” for individual modules
Successful completion on FIRST attempt at CC or UNC
Students may not finish all of the modules, although of course that is the intent.
Students will receive credit for those modules completed. Then at the CC they may/may not have to take the placement test
