The System Office is examining models to improve Developmental Education and increase success rates for gateway math and English courses. These models address the racial and socioeconomic achievement gap of students and allow for the high-touch supports that our most academically under prepared students require. This exploration, a continuation of the work of the redesign of Developmental Education, is in the initial stages of development, the thought process. College and Career Readiness has been part of this discussion as their work is also focused on increasing the number of academically under prepared students to transition to post-secondary education.  We know we have the expertise to achieve these goals!

To get your ideas, questions and thoughts, a series of regional conversations will be held throughout the state in October. The NC State report on the 2016 DMA Conversations, attached, will be discussed. Afternoon sessions (1-4p) will be held as follows:

·         College of the Albemarle on October 9

·         Craven CC on October 10

·         Brunswick CC on October 11

·         Sandhills CC on October 12

·         Alamance CC on October 13

·         Wilson CC on October 16

·         Southwestern CC on October 17

·         Catawba Valley CC on October 18

These meetings are intended for all faculty and staff. The Conversation Sessions are free, however you must register given seating constraints. Participants may register here:  Dev Ed Conversation Sessions

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions at N.C. A&T would like to invite you to participate in one of our regional Transfer Advisor sessions. Our goal is to provide information to you about N.C.

Elizabeth Cox Brand, Executive Director of the Oregon Student Success Center, collaborated with Education Northwest to produce resources for trauma-informed practice for higher education.

Description: “This guide is intended to raise awareness about trauma in postsecondary education institutions, help educators understand how trauma affects learning and development, and provide practical advice for how to work effectively with college students who have been exposed to trauma.”

Click here to find the North Carolina Multiple Measures Implementation and Outcomes Study: Final Report, which Susan Barbitta has been kind enough to share with our group. 

The report highlights the work done by 6 colleges who implemented student support programs for a target population of students enrolling in college-level courses via the multiple measures waiver.  This target population consisted of students who fell within the 2.6-3.0 GPA.  The colleges implemented interventions to support students in gateway math and English courses. 

Through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, the report indicates that “initial evidence pointed to the desired outcomes as related to the target students and the student support interventions: Overall, the average grade attained by students attempting the targeted classes increased, which goes hand-in-hand with an increasing trend in the share of students attaining A- /B-/C-grades and a declining share of D-grades. While overall grade attainment increased, the share of target students who withdrew from the targeted courses also declined, indicating that students' confidence levels may have been given a boost as a result of the implemented student supports."

Please see the attached Save the Date flyer for Professional Peer Academy hosted at Nash Community as well as the Call for Proposal link.  The theme for this year's conference is Teaching Beyond the Content.  We look forward to 2 days of collaboration among peers to learn research-based best practices to help our students both in and outside of the classroom.
