1. Increasing Gateway Course Completion by Scaling Successful Statewide Initiatives Saundra King Assistant Vice President of Remediation and Innovation April 19, 2005 Increasing Gateway Course Completion by Scaling Successful Statewide Initiatives Saundra King Assistant Vice President of Remediation and Innovation April 19, 2005

2. Welcome to Ivy Tech Community College! We are the nation’s largest singly accredited statewide community college system, and Indiana’s largest public postsecondary institution.  9 Regions.  Over 20 campuses.  More than 150 different programs of study.  Nearly 200,000 students annually.

3. Major Initiatives Co-requisite model of instruction Math Pathways Custom Placement/Diagnostic

4. Traditional Remedial Sequence Assessment Placement Enrollment Completion Take single standardized exam. -------------------------- Students take custom diagnostic assessment correlated to ITCC competencies. Cut scores determine placement in 1 or more levels of remedial education. -------------------------- Individualized student report provides mastery level of competencies. Students take 1 or more courses before enrolling in gateway courses. ----------------------- Students enrolled concurrently in linked remedial and gateway course. Success has been defined as completion of remedial course. -------------------- NEW Measure of success is the completion of gateway course.

5. Students in one section of remedial course are concurrently enrolled as a cohort in a linked Gateway course with students who are program ready. Remedial Course Gateway Course Instruction in remedial course supports the gateway course. Students earning a passing grade in gateway course, pass remedial course. One and two instructor model is used. Regional decision.

9. Objectives Improve alignment of degree program math requirement to program learning outcomes; to facilitate student learning and success in the workplace or transfer institution; and to better prepare students who demonstrate remedial math needs for the math requirement of their programs Three Pathways identified:  Tech - MATH 122 Applied Technical Mathematics  Quantitative Reasoning – MATH 123 Quantitative Reasoning  Algebra-Calculus Prep – MATH 136 College Algebra Page 2

10.  15% of majors require technical mathematics  51% require QR  34% require Algebra or Calculus Page 2

11. Math 122 Applied Technical Mathematics Description : This course is designed to help students develop mathematical reasoning and real-world skills. Their program faculty guided course development. This course supports student learning in courses only, technical institutes, technical certificates and associate of applied science programs that lead to employment. There are five modules in this course: Module 1 Mathematics Module 2 Algebra Module 3 Plane and Solid Figure Geometry Module 4 Trigonometry Module 5 Statistics

12. MATH 123 Quantitative Reasoning Introduces students to the mathematics required for informed citizenship, decision making, reasoning from evidence, working with real world data, and effective communication. Students will solve problems using proportional reasoning, percentages, rates of change, linear and exponential models with applications from statistics and finance.
