3. Student transitions to CC Community colleges rely nearly entirely on standardized assessment Increasingly, students placed below college-level Significant barrier (Bailey, Jeong, and Cho, 2010) First interaction Imply that most students are not ready for college and are likely to fail Convinces many, including our students Multiple measures (esp. GPA) hold substantial promise for fairer and more accurate predictor of college performance/graduation Challenges to implementation, ROI, second order effects

7. Key Data Issues for BC Completion Data Basic Skills Progress Data CCSSE – Perceptio n Data Equity Data SSSP- Student Service Data

8. Goals of MIH Make a difference in the number of students who succeed By connecting earlier in the pipeline Providing timely information and guidance at BC Increase Student engagement classroom interventions, SARS, Habits of the Mind and mentors Decrease Student time to completion Better placement –multiple measures, new placement test Faster remediation 2 years to complete the degree - when college ready Assess Learning outcomes (Think, Communicate, Demonstrate, Engage) Pilot with 500; Scale up to all students
