  2. Developmental Ed Function • Programs and Services that commonly address • Academic preparedness • Development of specific learning strategies • Affective barriers to learning • Rely on diagnostic assessment and placement

  3. Developmental Education • Typical program components • Writing • Mathematics • Reading • Study skills

  4. Global Skills for Developmental Education • Ability to • Write at the college level • Perform mathematical processes • Read with comprehension • Use appropriate study skills

  5. Developmental EducationAssessment Plan Goal- To provide quality developmental education for students who need basic academic skills. Program Intended Ed. Outcomes Program completers will … 1. Be prepared to perform successfully in college-level composition courses. 2. Perform mathematical processes well enough to complete freshman college mathematics requirements. 3. Be successful in first semester college courses that require significant reading.

  6. Developmental EducationMeans of Assessment • Standardized exams • ASSET • COMPASS • Accuplacer • Criterion • MDTP • Locally prepared/managed exams act.org; ets.org

  7. Developmental EducationMeans of Assessment • How well are they doing compared to a standard? • Post-test overall exam score • How much did they gain? • Pre & Post test • Where are large numbers of students still weak? • Analysis of sub-scores

  8. Developmental EducationMeans of Assessment • Over several assignments, how well are they doing compared to our expectations? • Portfolio of work • How well do they do in subsequent courses? • Success in entry-level college courses • Have their attitudes changed and how? • Surveys of attitudes

  9. Developmental Education Assessment Plan Program Intended Ed. Outcomes Program completers will … 1. Be prepared to perform successfully in college level composition courses. 2. Perform mathematical processes well enough to complete freshman college mathematics requirements. 3. Be successful in first semester college courses that require significant reading. Means of Assessment & Criteria for Success 1a. At least 70% of the students will complete college composition on the first attempt. 1b. A faculty panel will use a rubric & rate at least 90% of the completers as satisfactory (4 or 5) on a 5-point scale for each category of the exit writing sample. 2a. Seventy percent of the completers will score 75% or higher on a locally devised test of pre-college math competencies. 2b. Seventy percent of completers will score 75% or higher on each sub score area of the locally devised test. 3a. Eighty percent of completes will score 85% or better on a standard reading comprehension exit test. 3b. Eighty percent of completers will score at or above the national average on the post test sub score for reading & vocabulary. No completer will score below the 40th percentile.

Eighty-nine percent (213 of 239 students) Scored 85% or better. 3b. Sixty-two percent scored at or above the national average on reading; 88% scored at or above the national average on vocabulary.

  11. Developmental EducationLogistics of Assessment • Tracking students though first college level course • Obtaining data for students not taking developmental courses • Obtaining test scores from college level faculty • Tracking persistence to completion
