What steps can you take to overcome your challenges and leverage your strengths? � Using Data: Understanding Who Our Students Are and Making Data-Driven Decisions � What � Aha story is your data telling you? Moments! Next steps
Rethink the use of “developmental education” vs. “student success” � Don’t reinvent the wheel. . . talk to other institutions � Create a schedule of town hall meetings to communicate developmental education initiatives � The Ohio two-year colleges are trying to prepare a coordinated position on Achieving the Dream � We need to collect more data � Confirmed my intent and desire to establish a Student Success committee that invites members from all academic and student affairs divisions/departments and that includes students, faculty, staff, and administrators �
� Inclusion of technical faculty in the discussions � Allow more time for sharing developmental education best practices from each college � Create a list of meeting or anticipated meeting “outcomes” and send that list to us before the meeting so we can work toward achieving some clearly understood outcomes. An outcomes based meeting will probably help us to use our time more judiciously
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Communication and Collaboration make everything happen Faculty matter - Core Team expanded to include faculty/ faculty leader/ faculty development Data analysis counts “Students don’t do optional” - policies are needed (no late registration, orientation, pre-requisites, student success class) Go to the experts – read, attend conferences, bring them in; try it: Supplemental Instruction; Collaborative Learning; My Labs Location matters (tutoring center, counseling, etc. ) Student Ambassadors are an integral resource (peer mentors, peer leaders) Outreach matters– tutors, instructional specialists go to classrooms Learning communities – there’s more to it than pairing courses Training matters - sessions for tutors with Instructional Specialists and Dev Ed faculty (tutors include adjunct faculty, part-timers, etc. )
