  • this paper identifies eight practices common among high-performance organizations: leadership, focus on the customer, functional alignment, process improvement, use of measurement, employee involvement and professional development, and external linkages. Evidence suggests that these organizational practices have the greatest impact on performance when implemented in concert with one another.

    News article references two new CCRC reports, which suggest that more than a quarter of students placed in remedial courses could pass the gateway course with a "B." The article also indicates that using high school GPA as the placement criterion would be as good of a predictor of college success as remedial assessments.

    This paper reviews evidence on the number of students who enter community colleges with weak academic skills and on the incidence and effectiveness of developmental education. The paper also presents a broad reform agenda based on a comprehensive approach to all aspects of developmental education. (Thomas Bailey, Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, November 2008)
  • Bruce Vandal on 23 Feb 10
     
    This paper is very important to the reform effort. It lays out a specific agenda on how to differentiate the delivery of developmental education. Bailey argues for "mainstreaming" students into college-level courses and providing additional academic support for those students who are modestly underprepared. It also raises concerns about how to serve those students who require 3 or more developmental courses.

    Assesses the impact on enrollment pathways and academic milestones on student success, as part of a larger study. The report finds that enrollment pathways are an effective strategy for adult students and academic milestones are more effective for younger students. The researchers used data from students at Florida community colleges. (Juan Calcagno, Peter Crosta, Davis Jenkins and Thomas Bailey; Community College Research Center, 2006)

    The Community College Research Center (CCRC) at Columbia University is partnering with the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) to analyze the effects of the college's Accelerated Learning Program (ALP). Under ALP, students placed into upper-level developmental writing are "mainstreamed" into English 101 classes. Preliminary results are very promising. Funding for this study is being provided by Lumina Foundation for Education, as part of the Achieving the Dream initiative.

    The report from the Community College Research Center studies the validity of developmental education assessments in predicting retention and student completion odds. While many have focused on instructional innovations, few have studied the empirical power of assessments to predict future performance.

    Examines data from Washington State to chart the educational pathways of first-time community college students, with a focus on those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Looks at rates at which students enter a program of study or concentration, amount of remediation taken by students, and rates at which students earn certificates or associate degrees, or transfer to four-year institutions. The paper makes recommendations for practitioners and policymakers. (Community College Research Center, September, 2011)

    Analyzes the predictive validity of commonly used placement assessments and finds that they are more predictive of success in math than in English, and more predictive of who is likely to do well in college-level coursework than of who is likely to fail. Also finds that using multiple measures could reduce remediation misplacements or rates. (Community College Research Center, February 2012))

    Examines the validity of placement tests and high school information in predicting course grades and college performance. Finds that the ACCUPLACER and COMPASS placement tests do not yield strong predictions of how students will perform in college. In contrast, high school GPAs are useful for predicting many aspects of students' college performance. (Community College Research Center, February 2012)

    Finds that students who enrolled in a student success course in the first semester were more likely to earn college-level credits and were more likely to persist to the second year. Also finds that students referred to remedial education were more likely to earn college-level credits if they enrolled in a student success course in their first term.

Looks at three sets of opposing forces: system-wide consistency versus institutional autonomy; efficient versus effective assessment; and promotion of student progression versus enforcement of academic standards.
