Direct Connection to Policy Area 4 of The Illinois Commitment Bilingual A+ Certification Program Spoon River College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The Bilingual A+ Certification Program allows students that are developing proficiency in the English language to engage in college level education in an English-Spanish bilingual format. Description of the effective practice: While pursuing ESL learning the students are also studying the electronic courses of the A+ Certification program. Early courses are offered in Spanish with learning resources in English and as the program advances students transition into credit courses offered fully in English. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The bilingual offerings of credit classes are integrated into our regular schedule of courses. The only difference is the mode of delivery and the focus on supporting students with language diversity through the transition. What are the results/measurable outcomes? In the academic year 2005-2006 the first class of students graduated from the Bilingual A+ Certification Program, some of them not only with honors but with 4.0 GPA.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 4 of The Illinois Commitment Bridges to Baccalaureate Research Sciences (BBRS) CCC - Harry S Truman College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Recruitment and support of under-represented Chicago Public School high school students into the research sciences. Description of the effective practice: BBRS is a 2 + 2 + 2 agreement between Chicago Public Schools high schools with a large minority enrollment, Truman College and Illinois State University. The program seeks to guide and mentor students through a seamless transition from CPS, Truman College, to matriculation at ISU in the bio-medical and/or professional and graduate research sciences study programs. Some features include dual enrollment courses with aligned learning outcomes, and preparatory science and reading/writing and mathematics summer camps. The first summer camp successfully took place this summer, and students were mentored by Truman faculty and Farragut teachers, and 58 students participated with a 98% attendance rate. The majority of the students earned an A or B, and those that did not received special mentoring that will continue at their high schools. How does this practice achieve sustainability? • Ongoing assessment will chart student success. Student surveys and interviews of students and faculty will be ongoing, and exit and recruitment interviews as well as course taking data will be documented through a newly designed and implemented data base dedicated to this program. • A group of faculty at Truman are committed to the ongoing development of this program. • Intensive student support and advising will be a key component from high school through Truman’s programs, and Illinois State is committed to providing ongoing support to these students once they transfer. • Financial support for the program is in the process of being secured. What are the results/measurable outcomes? • Developed and implemented two courses in biology and chemistry at Farragut Career Academy and Truman College, with academic objectives and learning goals of each aligned so that dual enrollment will enhance learning. Both courses will begin Fall 2006. • Mentoring of 24 students per year into Truman College’s programs (Biotechnology, Biology, Chemistry), and within three years, increase this number to 72 students per year. • Retention through the associate degree studies and successful transfer of these students to the baccalaureate studies at Illinois State University or other four-year institutions. • Students participation in scientific and professional meetings and internships.
