  3. Data showing disappointing results developmental education

  4. Data from Recent Studies The Gates Foundation reports three quarters of developmental students do not receive a degree or certificate within four years. graduated in 4 years 25% placed in dev ed did not graduate in 4 years 75%

  5. Data from Recent Studies The Community College Research Center at Columbia (CCRC) has found that “that few students referred to developmental education progress through their developmental education sequence of courses to succeed in college-level courses: within four years, only . . . 45 percent of students in the study successfully completed a course in college-level . . . English.” passed ENG101 in 4 years 45% placed in dev ed did not pass ENG101 in 4 years 55%

  6. took no more writing courses 135 16% never passed 052 373 43% A, B, or C in 101 287 33% took 052 1988/1989 863 100% S in 052 490 57% took 101 355 41% D, F, or W in 101 68 8% Students who took ENG 052 for the first time in 1988/1989 A L P The Accelerated Learning Project

  21. What do we do in the ALP 052 class? The goal for ALP 052 instructors: Maximize the ALP students’probability of success in the ENGL 101 class. Strategies include: • Conducting class as a writing workshop, an extension/supplement to the 101 class • Answering questions left over from the 101 class • Providing opportunities for more writing practice, short papers to reinforce concepts from the 101 class or prepare for upcoming assignments in the 101 class • Discussing/brainstorming ideas for the next essay in 101 • Reviewing drafts of essays the students are working on for 101 • Working on reducing the frequency and severity of error in the students’ writing • Addressing non-cognitive issues (life issues, affective issues)

  33. Critical Features of ALP Students take their developmental writing course concurrently with the credit-level writing course, rather than as a pre-requisite. The same instructor teaches the ALP course and the credit course. At least half the students in the credit English course are students who placed into credit-level writing. The ALP cohort is no more than 12 students. ALP instructors recognize the importance of paying attention to the non-cognitive issues affecting their students. The pedagogy in the ALP course is based on “backward design” from the credit course and emphasizes active learning, improved reasoning skills, engaged reading, and more effective editing skills.

  49. Summing It All Up Compared to traditional developmental writing approaches, ALP doubles the success rate, cuts the attrition rate in half, does it in half the time, at slightly less cost per successful student.
