Achieving the Dream Quantitative Outcomes SL and Non-SL Lower Level Math Courses – Spring 2006

College Learning Council June 1, 2006 Institutional Research and Learning Assessment

A few thoughts…..  Early results are foundational to the ATD work and formative in nature.  Comparative outcomes over time will bring deeper, richer results.  Early results offer great value in the questions they offer; Culture of Inquiry

Quick Overview  407 FTIC Students in 34 sections of SL math; 900+ total enrollments in SL.  Students were unaware at registration that their math course was an SL section.  FTIC SL-Cohort = 44.2% Caucasian, 23.6 Hispanic, 20.6 African American, 2.5% Asian, and 9.1% Other.

A few highs and lows….  African Americans had the highest withdrawal rate (58.8%) and the lowest success rate (38%).  SL sections for Heavy remediation students showed lower success rates than non-SL for every ethnic group.  All ethnic groups in the Light remediation cohort showed higher success rates in SL sections, with Hispanics earning the highest rate (80.8%).
