Pillars Of Eastern Promise
Professional Learning CommunitiesCompacts and Campus Visits
The 10-Year-Plan
Credit By Proficiency
• Credit By Proficiency as defined by the Eastern Promise project is a “process” rather then a single test or assessment.
• Traditional proficiency measures allow an individual to take a single measure to determine proficiency. In the Eastern Promise model, students take a class over a term, semester or year.
• Through multiple measures acquire the defined outcomes, knowledge and skills that are equal to the expectations for a student in a campus based college level course.
• PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES
• Led by University and College Disciplinary Faculty
• Graduate level content (Credit Awarded)– The focus is on learning and teaching content– Mirrors college/university level outcomes– Working together to develop and jointly assess
student work
Academic Momentum
–As part of Eastern Promise a significant goal is to increase the “college going culture” among youth. This is accomplished through a program called “Academic Momentum”.
Academic Momentum Pathway To Success
• Believe my child can learn• Believe my child can graduate from high school
and go on to college or vocational training• Attend Parent Teacher conferences and other
school activities• Read with my child and talk about school daily• Help my child succeed with their Academic
Momentum plan
Success 101
–When the students enter the 9th grade, they will participate in a formal class that follows a well developed and tested curriculum called “Career Choices”. This is a rigorous class that requires career investigation and a “formal” 10-year-plan. They earn college credit.
Eastern Promise Data
• During 2013-14: 13,847 student credit hours were earned, a 239% increase over the pilot year.
• Over the two year period – 2012-14 – students and their families saved $1,700,000 in future tuition costs ($10 per credit)
• Academic Momentum: 22 School Districts (11 new districts (2015); 41 Schools – 35 Elementary/ 6 Middle Schools; 150+- Educators & Classrooms implementing; 3,500+- Students in the Academic Momentum Program

Course Integrated InstructionWriting 121UNI 101 (FYE)Developmental Writing and FYE
Most Freshmen are receiving IL instruction in some way.
ChallengesMost Freshmen are receiving IL instruction in some way.
HS students taking WR 121 by proficiency do not: • receive the same IL instruction• have the same access to resources
(And if they do, they don’t always know that they do, or how to use them.)
Challenges• Students failing WR 121 are primarily failing in
the IL area (evaluation, integration, analysis, and citation of sources)• Critical reading, summary, objectivity• Unsupported generalizations vs. evidence
(reading and writing) • Locating and evaluating scholarly sources• Rewards for bad habits
Challenges• School contexts may not foster reasoning based
on objective discussion of scholarly evidence• Student access to discourse communities
and understanding of rhetorical contexts• Research in other classes (transfer of skills)• Access to university-level databases• Teacher access to disciplinary dialogue

Actions
• LIB 127 pilot PLC– Worked with teacher at an area school to embed
LIB 127 outcomes in the Senior Project class– Offered a hybrid program– Assessed a portfolio at the end of year with P/F
grade
Actions
• LIB 127 pilot PLCNegatives:– Found failings in our instruction & rubric– Ultimately not scalable or sustainable
Positives:– Teacher continues to use IL curriculum– Gained access to and better understanding of K12
environment
Actions
• Language Arts PLC– Gained access to PLC by invitation (Nancy
Knowles)– Listened to teachers– Offered quick interventions

• High school Visits to EOU• Train the Trainer approach• College of Education curriculum revision
Recommendations
• Insinuate yourselves• Find partners• Consider scalability and sustainability• Recognize that K12 teachers know how to use
information, and know how to teach that • Become familiar with the K12 IL Standards
