Book excerpt: Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition is the first book to compile on-the-ground advice and teaching strategies specifically curated for accelerated and corequisite writing courses. Trailblazers in the field from colleges across the United States—who developed a foundation for corequisites by facilitating equity and accessibility for marginalized students—speak to a range of topics and demographics, offering support for instructors and practical advice for improving student success. The book primarily explores accelerated composition through the lens of two-year colleges to answer a central question in the field: to what extent do educators need to alter two-year college curricular design? The contributors also delve into assessment, a crucial process for instructors and their students transitioning to accelerated learning; the key role that reading plays in the writing process; and noncognitive learning, an area of study that has been associated with accelerated learning since its inception. Together these thirteen chapters provide instructors with a strategic approach to teaching accelerated and corequisite composition. Teaching Accelerated and Corequisite Composition points toward a new way of approaching first-year composition: a method of instruction that fosters the growth and success of writers who were once considered underprepared for college writing and are now achieving unprecedented success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental Education Preparation suggests faculty development that can be used for teaching developmental education and corequisites courses, specifically in mathematics. Providing a look into the needs of students that may not be prepared for college level courses, the premise of the book is to prepare the faculty as much as possible to handle a developmental course. Complete with techniques, pedagogy, instructional skills, when combined all together, this book can help with developing meaningful professional development on any campus across the nation. The interviews presented in this book provide the reality of some faculty of developmental mathematics education and revealed common trends in the needs and characteristics of corequisite courses. Based on the themes found, professional development is suggested to aid in helping shift any negative components of those themes. The themes help better understand the needs of teaching these challenging courses. Student success should start with faculty making sure they are equipped with the tools and understanding of the students. Student’s readiness starts with the faculty’s readiness. Having the combined understanding of faculty and student needs can help to create a professional development plan that will enhance the developmental level mathematics courses in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students identified as unprepared for college work face considerable barriers to performance and college completion. To improve underprepared student outcomes, community colleges where most underprepared students enroll are using different models of developmental education. A recently implemented model in mathematics is a corequisite course designed to increase students' chances of success by using different methods of instruction to decrease student time to completion. This corequisite course accelerates students placed in developmental math classes and offers students the opportunity to complete their developmental requirements while taking college-level work and earning college credit. As developmental mathematics poses the biggest barrier for underprepared students, this study examined the corequisite developmental education model of instruction at one community college and students' perception of their math abilities and influence in achieving success in math. Understanding student agency and academic self -efficacy in the learning process can enable students to enact the behaviors that can lead to desired outcomes and student success. Semi-structured interviews, focus groups, documents, and field notes comprised this qualitative methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected Models of Developmental Education Programs in Higher Education includes models that are based on defendable theories about how students grow and develop at all levels of the learning continuum. These models emphasize the theories and concepts that underlie developmental education as a field of practice and research with a theoretical foundation in developmental psychology and learning theory. The theory-based models consist of methods and techniques for implementing developmental education activities and ways of creating environments intended to improve developmental students' learning outcomes. These models include a rationale, a theory that justifies the models and an explanation of how the models are designed. The rationale is supported by empirical evidence that the models work. These models were selected because they represent varied frames of reference toward educational goals and objectives. Therefore, this book is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, educators, and practitioners seeking to improve developmental students' learning outcomes in developmental education programs, in institutions of higher education.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental mathematics pass rates at Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC) have remained the same or decreased for a number of years despite two different math curriculum redesigns. They hover around 50 percent or below at each campus, even after the implementation of a second redesign this past Fall 2016 semester. The first redesign switched from a face-to-face style of developmental math instruction to an Emporium model. After a lack of significant improvements in pass rates, the math courses were redesigned again. ☐ To further investigate the problem of low developmental math pass rates at DTCC, several strategies were employed. A literature review was conducted regarding developmental education, andragogy, high school tracking, alternative models of developmental course redesign, and the corequisite model of instruction. Furthermore, surveys of faculty and students at DTCC were conducted to determine the perception of developmental math education at DTCC, to determine perceived barriers from both faculty and students for low student pass rates, and to gauge the support for the implementation of a corequisite model of developmental math instruction. Some faculty did not believe a redesign was necessary, while others did. Students offered strong support for developmental math course redesign. Both faculty and students identified several common perceived barriers that they believe result in lower pass rates for students in these math classes. ☐ In addition, interviews were conducted at three different institutions that redesigned their developmental course curriculum. The purpose was to discover how the institutions targeted the courses for redesign, to find the rationale for choosing the corequisite model, and to identify recommendations they had for institutions who want to redesign their developmental math curriculum. Two redesign leaders at two four-year public colleges were interviewed along with a redesign leader from a community college in the area. The results of these interviews indicated that while redesigning the developmental math curriculum was difficult in all cases, the results of each corequisite implementation suggested improved pass rates that transcended several major demographics. I used the survey and interview results, coupled with the literature review and feedback from DTCC peers, to design samples of a corequisite math course with a syllabus, schedule of classroom activities, a Blackboard Learning Management system course, and a corequisite advisement sheet for students and academic counselors. Additionally, I outlined a strategic plan for implementing the corequisite model for developmental math courses at DTCC. ☐ Throughout the process of completing the artifacts for this ELP, feedback was solicited, obtained, and incorporated into each artifact from members of this ELP committee. The Dean of Instruction at the Stanton and Wilmington campuses, along with two math instructors, and two math chairs, also provided feedback on the proposed strategic plan. Their feedback enabled both a macro and micro approach to the investigation of the problem, helped craft a potential solution to solve it, and offered final recommendations for implementing a corequisite model of math redesign at DTCC. The final recommendation is that the corequisite model of developmental math instruction be piloted at DTCC beginning with the steps outlined in the ELP proposal and subsequent artifacts.

This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universal design for learning (UDL) has been hailed for over a decade as a revolutionary lens that allows campuses to shift their efforts to create inclusive environments. In recent years, UDL has gone beyond the field of disability and been explored with regards to international and indigenous students. There is now a sizable body of literature that details the benefits of implementing UDL in higher education, as well as a number of emerging studies examining the strategic challenges of developing UDL across institutions. There is, however, still a relative paucity of research discussing the transformation of instruction or assessment in concrete terms. Therefore, there is a necessity for research and information on UDL that has already been implemented in classrooms and the practical examples of what this process of transformation looks like. The Handbook of Research on Applying Universal Design for Learning Across Disciplines: Concepts, Case Studies, and Practical Implementation offers practical examples of UDL having successfully been embedded in courses within various disciplines and classroom formats, as well as across the undergraduate and graduate sectors. The chapters provide case studies and concrete examples of what the UDL reflection on practice might look like in specific faculties and departments. While highlighting UDL in areas such as educational technology, student engagement, assignment design, and inclusive education, this book is ideally intended for inservice and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, higher education professors and leaders, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the integration of UDL into strategic academic plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Remedial [developmental] courses have been a fixture in American community colleges since these institutions first appeared in post-secondary education at the turn of the twentieth century.' It seems like a logical instructional model: developmental education is designed to provide students who lack prerequisite skills the means to remediate these skills to progress to college-level coursework in the respective areas. Community colleges have open admissions policies, which allow for students that are not prepared for college-level work to enroll in college programs. As such, community college students often need remediation and academic assistance to succeed in college. In the past decade, community colleges have engaged in a number of new approaches designed to improve student progress in and completion of developmental coursework. The ultimate goals of reform are students' increased success in college coursework and increases in overall student success and completion outcomes. As such, this issue is dedicated to developmental education reform. While many chapters discuss specific areas of institutional and statewide reform, the chapters end with actionable recommendations for a broad audience, including practitioners and policy makers"--Editors' Notes
