Developmental Education: Updates and Progress for Underprepared StudentsRider 44 Report
October 27, 2014Suzanne Morales-Vale, Ph.D.Director, Developmental and Adult Education
2012-2017 STATEWIDE DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION PLAN
VISION STATEMENT: By fall 2017, Texas will significantly improve the success of underprepared students by addressing their individualized needs through reliable diagnostic assessment, comprehensive support services, and non-traditional interventions, to include modular, mainstreaming, non-course competency-based, technologically-based, and integrated instructional models.
2
1. ASSESSMENT AND STUDENT PROFILES
• Implementation of the new, single Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment with a single set of college readiness and adult basic education standards
• Diagnostic profile for addressing differentiated placement
• Formal identification by institutions of students assessed at the lower-skill levels (ABE 1-4) to better target interventions for meeting students’ needs
3
4
2. ADVISING AND PLACEMENT
• Use of a holistic advising *
• Requirement for institutions to assess students holistically using multiple factors
• Requirement for institutions to mandate pre-assessment activities (PAA)
• Communication with students (e.g., early alert)
5
3. ACCELERATED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
• Integrated reading/writing (IRW)
• Non-course competency-based options – NCBOs (also known as non-course based or non-semester length options and interventions)
• Mainstreaming (also known as “paired,” “co-requisite,” and “concurrent” enrollment models)
• New Mathways Project
• Modular models

3. ACCELERATED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Integrated Reading/Writing
• 88% of institutions are ready to implement in spring 2015
• 54% of institutions report having an IRW NCBO
• Last workshop in 2-year PD program is tomorrow in Dallas (over 1000 workshop participants);

3. ACCELERATED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Non-course Competency-Based Options (NCBOs)
• 98% of institutions have implemented math NCBOs
• 86% of institutions have implemented NCBOs in all three subject areas
8
3. ACCELERATED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Co-requisite model (Mainstreaming)• 60% of institutions offering in math
• 40% in all three subject areas
Other Successes…

4. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
• A comprehensive, two-year professional development program for faculty and staff supporting integrated reading/writing (IRW)
• Advisor Training – July 14
• Collaboration with Texas Association of Community Colleges (TACC) and Texas Success Center (TSC): Pathways to Progress Conference - Sept. 21-23
• RFA for Statewide Professional Development focusing on support for underprepared students, especially students assessed at lower skill levels
10
5. USE OF TECHNOLOGY
• Online tutoring and supplemental learning programs (e.g., My Math Lab, Querium TSI Math Prep)
• Modular delivery of instruction
• Early Warning/Early Alert Systems
• Data analytics (e.g., Civitas Learning)
11
6. POSTSECONDARY ALIGNMENT WITH ADULT EDUCATION
• Accelerate Texas
• Intensive workforce training with integrated basic reading, writing, and math skills support
• Collaborations with TWC and other agencies/organizations
12
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
• TSIA reporting limitations
• Changes to High School Graduation Requirements (HB 5)
13
RECOMMENDATION 1
• Through statewide professional development programs and grant funding, continue to support and further promote the scaling of acceleration models that are nontraditional, integrated, contextualized, and technology-enhanced to better support the persistence and completions of underprepared students.
14
RECOMMENDATION 2
Provide the necessary resources to identify and build
a statewide online referral system for use by
advisors, counselors, agency, and organizational staff
to make appropriate and efficient referrals for students
who require adult education and literacy (AEL) and
other support services and for students who are
receiving AEL services but who are ready for and need
postsecondary education, with the goal of identifying
the most effective program and intervention for meeting
their needs.
