What is the Success of Acceleration Models and Compression Models in Math and English Sequences? The committee reviewed all relevant literature and data available on alternative models through the 3CSN network. The overall findings supported the need to create accelerated or compressed models for both math and English sequences. The college currently has programs in place to pilot both the acceleration and compression models. In addition, representatives of the Math and English Departments attended the Achieving the Dream strategies institute to determine successful models that could be implemented at ELAC. The lessons learned from this process have been integrated into the Educational Master Plan and labeled as ATD strategies. These include the use of common finals, acceleration and compression models, and possible curricular revisions. The English Department has piloted an acceleration model that attempts to use web-assisted teaching methods to move English 26 students to English 101 in one semester of instruction. There is an assessment plan in place which will garner an evaluation report in Fall 2012. This report will be made available to the committee at that time to guide in implementation of the new Educational Master Plan. The Math Department is attempting to compress their sequence with a pilot conducted in Spring 2012. The data evaluating this pilot will not be complete until the success rates of the subsequent math course are available. However, initial results are promising. Of the seventy-two students who entered the Math 115 compression model, thirty-three were able to successfully complete two math courses (Math 115 and Math 125) in one semester. This means that 45.8% of students entering the course were able to pass both courses in one semester. As a broad comparison, only 18.4% of students enrolled in standard Math 115 courses were able to complete 115 and 125 within two semesters. Success rates were 56.9% in the Math 115 and 84.6% in Math 125. Both of these success rates are substantially higher than the general rates for these courses. These promising figures are being evaluated by the Math Department in order to continue their efforts in programmatic improvement. What is the Success of Specialty Programs (Adelante, Puente, etc…)? Adelante Data The Adelante program is a first-year cohort program that is committed to the educational success of students. Adelante is a comprehensive program involving student services, linked courses, a stimulating learning environment, and committed faculty which together will provide all Adelante first-year students with the very best opportunities to succeed in transferring to a four-year university. Data on the Adelante program shows improved success in the first year, enhanced persistence and increased completion rates. Success following the first-year experience in Adelante program falls to the college average. The following table shows success rates for Adelante students in Adelante courses and in standard courses. 15 Page Educational Master Plan 2012

The persistence data are based on graded enrollment in the subsequent spring and fall terms (unless otherwise noted).The data indicate substantial increases persistence compared to the general student body. Adelante Persistence Cohort Cohort Fall-to-Spring Persistence Fall-to-Fall Persistence N N % N % Fall 2007 161 143 88.8% 118 73.3% Fall 2008 187 164 87.7% 135 72.2% Fall 2009 160 140 87.5% 129 80.6% Fall 2010 159 143* 90.0%* 128** 80.5%** Overall 667 590 88.5% 510 76.5% *Data based on enrollments as of the census date for Spring 2011 **Data based on non-dropped enrollments for Fall 2011 The data also indicate that Adelante students progress through academic milestones with greater success than the general student body. 16 Page Educational Master Plan 2012
