College Composition and Reading

Soft landing and/or CCR092 & CCR 091 co-requisite?

Both the CCR 091 and CCR 092 courses will be offered during the

fall 2013 semester. Students who are required to take the CCR

091 lab will be using the same program that LCC will be piloting

for use in the Fast ForWord Soft Landing

LCC 2013

CCR 093 Studio D and/or CCR 094 Studio 121

Studio D and/or Studio 121?

Studio 121 will be offered in the fall 2013 semester

CCR courses will be offered on opposite days from co-enrolled

ENG 121 sections

For example:

If a student is in Studio 121 on MW at 11:00 a.m. they will also

be in ENG 121 on TR at 11:00 a.m. The instructors in both

courses will collaborate weekly on student progress and

instructional needs. LCC 2013

Math: Assessment Prep

Delivery

LCC is still planning assessment prep. Exploring the Core

Skills Mastery (CSM) product in addition to essential

skills labs developed using NROC content

Essential skills will include topics such as order of

operations and organization of work, fractions, decimals

and percentsLCC 2013

Math: Co-requisite Labs

LCC will offer at least one section of each co-requisite lab

MAT025: co-requisite to MAT055

MAT091: co-requisite to MAT107

MAT 092: co-requisite to one section of MAT 120

MAT 093: co-requisite to one section of MAT 121

All co-requisites will be taught by the same instructor and scheduled

to meet immediately following the college level course to allow for

adequate pacing and just in time remediation for students

LCC 2013

Student Services: CCSSE strategies for planning, initiating, and sustaining success

All developmental education students will be required to seek academic advising prior to the start of each semester.

All developmental education students will be required to meet with the career advisor at least once each semester.

All developmental education students who are in both math and CCR courses will be required to enroll in an academic success course.

All developmental education students will be strongly encouraged to enroll in an academic success course.

LCC 2013

Faculty and Staff: Support and Development

Limited full time positions?

Not offering limited full time positions. Majority of courses

will be provided through adjunct instruction.

How much release and reassign time?

Faculty will be paid for work in summer 2013 to prepare

the new courses. In addition, 3 credits of reassign time will

be provided for a Developmental Education Coordinator

during fall semester 2013 and spring semester 2014 to

support the implementation.

LCC 2013

Faculty and Staff: Support and Development

Professional development opportunities?

Still planning – but are in the process of coordinating collaboration with

several other small colleges in the system. We will likely meet together a

couple of times during the 2013/14 year to share innovative ideas and

form instructional communities within our small staffs.

Training transfer level faculty?

We have been in communication with transfer level faculty throughout

the process. We will include transfer level faculty when we prepare the

new courses for fall implementation. This will assure a 1:1 articulation

from developmental education to transfer level courses.

LCC 2013LCC 2013

EvaluationIn addition to the successful completion of a 100 level college

course, how are you going to evaluate the redesign on your

campus?

Students will be surveyed in all DE courses each year.

Questions specific to the redesign will be included in the

survey. The instructional team will use this data to modify

courses to be offered in future semesters.

Are there goals or outcome measures your faculty have set on your

campus?

“Good idea. We will do that next.”  LCC 2013

Testing Working with Pearson on a diagnostic

Likely will get MFL in addition to the diagnostic allowing

students to work through mastery before any retest
