  3. Eight Features that CCBC’s ALP Identifies as Beneficial 1. ALP students are mainstreamed into ENGL 101 for which they can receive college credit. 2. ALP students are part of a cohort of eight students and one instructor who spend six hours a week together. 3. ENGL 101 serves as a meaningful context for what they are learning in the developmental course. 4. Class size is just eight changing the instructional environment. 5. The pipeline through which they must travel is shortened from two semesters to one. 6. In the ENGL 101 class, ALP students work with students who are stronger writers and can serve as role models. 7. ALP instructors consciously pay attention to helping ALP students develop successful student behaviors. 8.ALP instructors consciously pay attention to issues from outside the college that may have a negative impact on ALP students.

  11. Based on your experiences as a student and teacher answer the following:What kind of behaviors did you engage in (as an undergraduate) that helped you become successful or impeded on your success?If you could write a brief note to your past self-offering advice on what to do or not to do as a student what would that advice look like?

Based on your experiences as a student and teacher answer the following:What kind of behaviors do you encourage students to utilize that you think will help them become successful?Based on your experiences as a student and teacher how does your reflection or the way you think about your academic past shape your current pedagogy or practices?

  13. Looking over your definition of reflective writing how could you include or revise an existing low or high stakes reflective writing assignment that would help students unearth one aspect of their writing process? How can this writing assignment that you create develop a method for students to use to determine the origin or nature of their writing process?
