  1. New Course Proposal Math 37 – Algebra for Statistics

  2. Nationwide Data256,672 first-time degree-seeking students from 57 colleges Referral, Enrollment, and Completion in Developmental Education Sequences in Community Colleges (CCRC Working Paper No. 15). Bailey, Jeong & Cho. December 2008. New Yourk: Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University. (Revised November 2009).

  3. How does RCCD compare?Fall 2006-Spring 2010 DistrictwideCollege level (4, 5, 11, 12, 25, 36, 1, 10)

  4. Why high attrition rates are a structural problem From Math 63 to a college level math class there are 7 “exit points” where they fall away. • Pass Math 63? 44% • Enroll in Math 64? 38% • Pass Math 64? 80% • Enroll in Math 52? 64% • Pass Math 52? 77% • Enroll in Math 53/35? 48% • Pass Math 53/35? 71%

  5. Seven Exit Points (0.44)(.38)(.8)(.64)(.77)(.48)(.71) ≈ .02 What if we did better? (.9)(.9)(.9)(.9)(.9)(.9)(.9) = .48

  6. Accelerated Remediation • Accelerated developmental education involves curricular restructuring that reduces sequence length and eliminates exit points. Ideally, it also includes a reconsideration of curricular content: Is what we are teaching in developmental courses what students truly need to succeed in college English or Math? • - http://3csn.org/developmental-sequences/

  7. Statpath Course – Los Medanos College

  8. Proof-of-concept

  9. Based on Approval at Spring Discipline Meeting • Emailed and formed an interest group • Applied to and were accepted in the California Acceleration Project along with: • Berkely City College • City College of San Francisco • College of the Canyons • CuyamacaCollege • Diablo Valley College • Los MedanosCollege

  10. Math 37 Course Outline Algebra for Statistics

  11. Window into an accelerated classroom • Video footage from Math Instructor Myra Snell’s experimental pre-statistics course, Fall 2009 • Los Medanos students grapple with a problem from the national statistics exam, CAOS • http://vimeo.com/9055488
