A Model Bridge Program for Tech Prep Non-Completers

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project was undertaken to develop curriculum to bridge the gapbetween the competency level of persons who enter college havingcompleted the secondary component of the Tech Prep program and thosewho had not. The project activities identified the competency profile of TechPrep completers. The competencies on this profile were the basis of thecurriculum that was developed.

The project was guided and assisted by the expertise of members of theTechnical Advisory Committee, two task forces, and a panel of experts.lnservice was provided fer instructional staff on teaching adults and the useof software to develop curriculum materials.

The competency profile for completers of Tech Prep secondary componentwas developed by Task Force I from a variety of competency lists. TaskForce 2 met to identify the competency profile of non-completers of TechPrep and determined that a large majority of the persons entering theprograms or industries represented on TF-2 had mastered few, if any, of thecompetencies on the completer's profile. Therefor the "gap" between theattainment of these two groups was virtually the whole competency list.

The competency profile of completers of Tech Prep was then used as thebasis for competency-based, individualized, self-paced curricula formathematics and writing courses. The activities in the curricula weredeveloped for the specific needs of the major programs of study available tostudents at this site. Instructors were trained in the unique needs of adultstudents and the use of course development software. A managementsystem was developed for tracking individual students through the self-pacedprocess. Also, technical program courses were identified in which studentswith limited math and writing skills could be successful.

The result of the project is a Bridge Program Quarter that providesconcentrated effort to prepare students for college-level work. This quarterenables students to progress through two mathematics courses and twocommunications courses which move them from basic mathematics tointermediate algebra and from basic writing skills to college-levelcomposition, and prepare them to pass the TASP test. Part of the BridgeProgram Quarter will be at least one program course to provide a connectionto the profession for which the student is preparing.

The findings and activities of the project were disseminated at a statewideconference in March.

FINAL REPORT

PURPOSE

The purpose of this project was to develop and validate a model

competency-based, non-collegiate-level curriculum designed to prepare non-

Tech Prep students for high-priority, advanced-level Tech Prep programs.

This project targeted dislocated workers, high school non-graduates, high

school graduates who had not completed the secondary component of a

Tech Prep program, and other students who entered college without the

fundamental competencies needed to be successful at the college level.

Non-Tech Prep students have widely varying knowledge and skill levels.

Many of these students are non-traditional in terms of age, economic status,

disability, race, sex, etc. They have multiple demands on their time with

responsibilities of families, jobs, and college schedules. To meettheir needs,

it is imperative that where possible, non-college level bridge courses be

open-entry/open exit and self-paced. Through the bridge program, these

students can enter advanced level Tech Prep programs at community and

technical colleges.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

GOAL I: CREATE AND USE A TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

Objective I-A: Create the TAC

Technical Advisory Committee, TAC, members were selected with the intent

to provide guidance and resource information. The members were selected

from Tech Prep practitioners, vocational and technical educators from both

secondary and post-secondary levels, business and industry, Quality Work

Force Planning, and Councils of Government. The list of TAC members is in

Appendix B-1.

Objective I-B: Use the TAC

The TAC met in October 6, 1993 to review the proposal and suggest

resources and activities to meet the goals. At this meeting, the TAC

determined they preferred written progress reports, to which they could

respond, rather than quarterly committee meetings. Progress reports were

sent in November, December, March, and April. They included copies of

resource materials used by the Task Forces and the Panel of Experts, copies

of any documents developed by the Task Forces, evaluations done by the

Panel of Experts, and meeting notes, as well as, a report on the activities of

the director. A final meeting of the TAC was held in May. Copies of the

Quarterly Report to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board were

sent to TAC members in October, January, April, and July. Copies of these

reports are in Appendix A-2.

Page 10: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

GOAL II: CONDUCT A DISCREPANCY ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL,

ACADEMIC, AND WORK PLACE BASIC KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO

DEVELOP A MODEL NON-COLLEGIATE-LEVEL, COMPETENCY-BASED

CURRICULA

Objective II-A: Review Literature

Literature for review was identified through ERIC search and through

resources suggested by Tech Prep practitioners, Texas educators, and other

contacts throughout the dUration of the project. The Project Director was

experienced in competency-based, individualized, self-paced instruction at

the high school level, but not in the Texas education system nor the recent

progress of the Tech Prep program. Therefore, materials chosen for review,

and identified in the bibliography, reflect a search for knowledge in those

areas.

Objective II-B: Develop a criterion-referenced profile of competency

achievement for completers of secondary Tech Preo programs

A Task Force, TF-1, composed of professionais from secondary and post-

secondary institutions, adult educators, industrial experts, and Tech Prep

practitioners identified the competency profile for completers of secondary

Tech Prep programs. A list of Task Force members are in Appendix B-2.

A variety of competency lists were obtained from various sources; i.e. TEA

Essential Elements, Vernon Regional Junior College, courseware developers

and publishers, and other technical/vocational education institutions; were

used as resources to select the competencies to be included in the profile.

The competency profiles were developed for mathematics, communication,

and drafting. These profiles were reviewed by the TAC membem

business/industry representatives, and instructors of academic and technical

programs at TSTC-ETC. Bridge Program instructors who have used the

profiles, have further clarified and expanded them into practical, workable

documents. These competency profiles are part of the curriculum materials

in Appendix E.

Page 11: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

Objective 11-C: Develop a profile of competency achievement for a

typical non-completer of secondary Tech Prep programs

A second Task Force, TF-2, composed of persons representing adult

educators, industry persons involved in hiring and training, and post-

secondary counselors and developmental studies instructors met to identify

the competency profile of students who had not completed the secondary

component of Tech Prep. A list of Task Force members are in Appendix

B-3.

This Task Force reviewed the competency profile developed by TF-1. The

initial response by most members was that persons they take into their

courses, programs, or job sites, have mastered few, if any, of the

competencies on the profile. After discussion, they held firm to their

conviction of the lack of significant competency mastery within the target

population. Therefore, the competency profile of noncompleters was

virtually blank. Members of both Task Forces stressed the need to teach

basic math, writing, and reading skills; that with these skills, workers can

learn the technical information needed on the job. Also stressed was the

need to consider basic computer skills to be just as fundamental as math and

English.

Following the Task Force meeting, and feeling there was more to the picture

of incoming students than this finding indicated, some investigation was

made by the project staff as to the results of placement tests used by

various colleges and the data collected at the state level on the TASP test.

According to this data as much as 40 to 60 percent of students entering

college are underprepared to work at the college level and have remediation

needs ranging from learning or relearning, the basics, to just brushing up on

skills previously learned.

Page 12: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

Objective II-D: Determine the gap in achievement between comoleters

and non-compieters of secondary Tech Prep programs

Activity II-D-1: Compare the competency profile of completers with the

competency profile of non-completers.

The proposal called for_a Panel of Experts composed of members of both

Task Forces to identify competencies where a significant gap exists between

the achievement levels for secondary Tech Prep completers and non-

completers. This meeting of the Panel of Experts was not held because of

TF-2 identified the "gap" as virtually all of the competencies on the profile.

This change in grant activities was discussed with the THECB staff member

assigned to this grant.

Activity ll-D-2: Develop course syllabi for leveling and bridge courses.

Project staff led the Pre-Technical Studies instructional staff at TSTC-ETC in

developing and refining the syllabi for courses designed for competency-

based, individualized, self-paced instruction of all of the courses in the

department. These included: Basic Mathematics, Beginning Algebra,

Intermediate Algebra, Occupational Mathematics, Reading Improvement 2

and 3, Writing Skills 1 and 2, and TASP preparation courses.

The Pre-Technical Studies department faculty developed competency-based

courses by dividing the competency profile list intn courses as described in

the Catalog. Performance standards and instructional activities were

identified for each competency and Instructional plans aligned to

competencies were processed through the use of Course Developer software

provided by Doug Goodgame of Ed Tech. Separate competency profiles

were identified for each course and used to document the competencies

mastered by the end of the course. In these courses, students work

individually and at their own pace. Every effort is made to enable the

students to complete the course within the time constraints of the quarter

term. Those who accelerate through the material, are encouraged to

1 2

Page 13: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

continue into the work of the next course. Those who do not master the

competencies identified for the course, are given grades of incomplete and

continue their efforts during the next quarter until all are mastered. A

change of grade form is then completed and the student gets credit for

completing the course. This flexibility allows students who need only to

refresh their understanding of the material the opportunity to accelerate the

remediation portion of their activities.

Competency-based education as used in the Bridge program, was planned

around three major components: First, goal must be known and agreed

upon, next, the current status must be identified and accepted, and then the

process of attaining mastery and reaching the goal must be clearly,

presented and understood.

In building the Bridge Program, these components were considered through

the following activities:

The Goal. The goal of the student in the Bridge Program, is success in the

technical courses in his/her major program. To customize the Bridge Program

for specific core technology programs, the competency profile of completers

of Tech Prep secondary programs was reviewed by instructors in the

technical programs available at this site. Any competencies not on the

profile, identified as important by the instructor for entry level students were

added to the competency profile. The ultimate goal of the students is to

become employed in the advanced and emerging technology work place.

Therefore, input of persons from business and industry was also solicited.

Recognizing that incoming students need to experience some link to their

personal reason for being in college, the project staff worked closely with

technical course instructors to identify program courses students with limited

basic skills could successfully undertake. These courses were then linked to

the Bridge Program. These program courses, are listed as follows in

Appendix E, Math F-1, Writing F-2.

Page 14: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

Current Competency Status. The current status of the student's competency

profile was determined by pre-tests. Also considered was the student's

educational experiences, learning style, and confidence level. Following the

pre-test, student/instructor conferences ensured that the student had a clear

understanding of his current status and the process necessary to attain the

competency profile needed for his choice of program. Technical program

areas are currently developing assessment tools to administer to incoming

students which will identify students needing remediation prior to entering

the program courses.

Path to Attaining Competency Profile. It is important that the student be

cognizant of the level of competency required to reach the goal. Many

competency-based programs develop learning modules for each competency.

Given the constraints of time and resources, it was determined, for this

project, to develop a clear path for student through the resources currently

available. To accomplish this, the assignment for each competency or group

of competencies was clearly identified. The student knew what competency

was being taught, on exactly what page, in which text, or which lesson on

a computer program, how mastery is to be demonstrated, and what level of

mastery is required. Where possible, specific needs of specific prog.ams

were considered. For example, the set of competencies for measurement

skills will be used in different ways with different programs. Therefore, a

different set of measurement assignments and applications was developed

for students in each of the six major program options at this site.

To integrate these courses and to provide maximum exposure for students

entering college at the lower skill levels, a schedule was developed to

immerse the student in the Bridge Program experience.

Our goal is to provide concentrated exposure of sufficient length to ensure

learning. These students will attend math and English courses two hours a

day, five days a week. Along with the immersion block of courses, students

can be registered in at least one major program course from the list of those

identified as requiring minimum basic skills. This program is to be

implemented in the Fall 1994 quarter.

The project staff has worked with faculty advisors/instructors from all

program areas at this site to develop remediation Plans for entering

remediation students at all levels of basic skills. Faculty advisors have

course schedule plans for students entering at three levels of math skills and

two levels of English skills. Technical program courses that are at high

school level, but earn college credit are included in these schedules.

Curriculum resources are in the following appendices: Math F-1,

Writing F-2, Reading F-2, Drafting F-3.

GOAL III: FIELD TEST THE MODEL CURRICULUM

The field test, a trial use of the curriculum in the operational setting, was to

focus on five aspects of quality: effectiveness, efficiency, acceptability,

practicality, and generalizability. Members of the Technical Advisory

Committee were surveyed by phone to determine which courses to field test.

They chose Beginning Algebra and Writing Skills II.

Objective III-A: Conduct Field Test

The Bridge Program was field tested at TSTC-East Texas Center in Marshall

in the Pre-Technical Studies department. The staff of the department

included one full-time English instructor, one full-time and one part-time math

instruCtor. The part-time math instructor was also an instructor in the Plant

Engineering Technology program. There were some realities of this site that

precluded using student progress comparisons for evaluation. The courses in

this department have been individualized and self-paced since the institution

began classes in the Fall of 1992. Therefore, comparisons of pre-post test

results between individualized and traditional classes were not available.

Comparison of the relative merits of individualized and traditional modes of

delivery was made by instructors who had previously taught in traditional

classrooms. The number of students in the field test was limited by the total

number enrolled in specific courses. All sections of each course were

included in the field test. Because most of these students had previously

taken remediation classes here, the student responses may reflect .

experiences in all classes they had taken in the Pre-Technical Studies

department, not just those used for field testing. The major differences in

the field test quarter were in the use of competency profiles and improved

assignment plans.

Field Test Procedures:

Develop course competency profile.

The first step was to develop course objectives from the competency profile.

This process involved courses currently available in the TSTC, Waco/

Marshall, Course Catalog. Competency profiles for math and communi-

cations were divided into course sections based upon the Catalog's course

descriptions. Each course competency profile was evaluated with the

following considerations: all competencies needed for success in major

program courses were identified; evaluations made of relevancy to business

and industry; and to meet TASP objectives.

Identify resources available.

A matrix was developed to identify the appropriate resources for each

competency from the computer lessons and/or texts available. This

identified the applicable material on hand and indicated those competencies

for which resources still needed to be found.

Develop instructional path.

Assignment Completion Records were developed that clearly state the

specific text or computer program, page number, lesson number, and

exercises, and/or applications to be completed by the student. Where

applicable, these are specific for the major technical program of the student.

Course Progress Records are simply a list of units completed and grades

earned on unit tests ..o provide documentation for grade reports. They

provide an immediate, current "snap shot" of the students progress through

the course.

Evaluate each student's needs, develop individual study plan.

The results of placement tests administered to each student upon entry

determined the initial course placement. Within the course,

a diagnostic pre-test was given each student to document competencies

Page 18: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

previously mastered. An individual study plan was developed based on

results of the diagnostic pre-test and considering the student's TASP

responsibilities. The plans were reviewed with the students and amended

where students' information indicated. Each student must be clear as to

exactly what was to be expected for this course; ie what competencies were

to be mastered and how to proceed to mastery, the preferred time frame,

the acceleration or deceleration options available as applicable. The

instructors' responsibilities were to facilitate, encourage, prod, and whatever

else was needed to maintain the student's progress through the course.

Provide Instruction

The competency profiles for English and mathematics encompass the whole

spectrum of competencies for each subject area. Diagnostic pre-tests given

the first day of class documented the starting level of mastery and identified

the specific competencies needed and thus specific assignments to be

completed.

The instruction mode was an individualized, self-paced process through text

or computer software assignments designed for the student's specific major

program of stUdy. When appropriate, concepts were introduced through

lecture, following which, students completed assignments at their own

pace, getting help from the instructor as needed. The instructor was a

facilitator of learning and worked one-on-one with students as needed.

Class size was limited to twenty, to allow sufficient time for personal

attention. Upon completion of assignments for the group of competencies

that comprise a unit, the unit post test was given.

Students were encouraged to accelerate through the material or allowed

move through it more slowly if necessary. Accelerated students who

completed all assignments for the course in which they were registered,

were encouraged to continue into the next course in the sequence. Students

who required more than the term's expected time frame received an

incomplete and continued their efforts the next quarter.

Complete student s personal Competency Pronle

This is a seamless Competency Profile for the whole spectrum of

competencies for the subject (math or writing). After post-testing by units,

each student's personal profile was updated. Post-testing by course was

done for the purpose of the field test, but not for competency

documentation.

EVALUATIONS

Field Test Evaluation by Focus Areas

The project proposal called for the field test evaluation to focus on the

following aspects of quality: effectiveness, efficiency, acceptability,

practicality, and generalizability.

Effectiveness

Each student's needs were clearly identified and addressed in an

individualized study plan. The students understood the process and

proceeded at his own pace through the assignments. This is more effective

with the objectiveness of mathematics than it is with the more subjective

writing, and reading courses. Instructor survey results support the

effectiveness of competency-based, individualized education for the

following reasons: effective and efficient use of student's time, decreased

fear of failure, acceleration or deceleration possibilities (flexibility), and

enhancement of students sense of responsibility toward learning. A

significant number of students passed the TASP test on their first attempt

after remediation.

Efficiency

This is an especially efficient education delivery mode through which to

address the needs of a relatively low number of students with a wide range

of remediation needs. It allows students of varying skill levels to be

concurrently guided to competency mastery in one classroom. This is

especially true for the Basic Mathematic through Beginning Algebra courses,

including Occupational Mathematics. It is a labor intensive method of

instruction. A low instructor to student ratio is required to permit the

19

inaiviausi in ieracuons. nowever, IT retention rates are increasea stuaents

are more successful in college-level courses, and graduates are better

prepared, the efficiency will increase.

Acceptability

The Pre-Technical Studies department at TSTC-East Texas Center was

organized on an individualized, self-paced basis at its inception in the Fall Of

1992. The department instructors, all new employees this year,

successfully adapted to the process. The idea of competency-based

education is not clearly understood or accepted by many faculty at the

college level, although Tech Prep activities and Carl Perkins grant directives

are making them more familiar with it. Students, accustomed to a more

spoon-fed approach of having the instructor tell them what they need to

know, have to learn to be more self-reliant, taking more responsibility for

their own learning. Competency-bas, d practices in the classroom were well-

accepted by students just needing to brush up on concepts already learned

and by students who were more mature and used to being responsible for

themselves. Instructor and student survey results are in Appendix D.

Practicality

Texas State Technical College- East Texas Center at Marshall adapted to the

realities of self-paced learning requirements regarding flexible timing. The

results of allowing students to master only needed competencies, rather

than going over material already learned because it is in the course outline,

and of allowing students to work at their own pace, were that some

students accelerated through the requirements for the course in which they

are registered, others worked through the required material in the usual

amount of time, and still others needed more than the weeks defined by the

term to complete the course. Students who completed early were

encouraged to continue into the next course where possible. Those who did

not complete within the term's time frame were given incompletes and were

allowed to finish the course the next quarter--or later. For example, one

student, for whom learning math is a slow process, has used three quarters

Page 21: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

to complete tne Dam matnematics course ana woi neea anotner three

quarters to complete an occupational mathematics course. However, he has

done well in the other courses in his program and.will have a good

understanding of math, and a certificate, where as in a traditional system he

would have probably failed and dropped out by the end of the second

quarter. There are more incompletes than in a traditional program, with

"failures" only for students who did not meet the attendance, and/or effort

requirements.

Generalizability

Competency-based, individualized, self-paced learning can be fairly easily

instituted in any program willing to take the time to carefully prepare. The

mechanics of the process and activities are adaptable...people often are

reluctant. Care must be given to prepare for change and for understanding

and acceptance of a different.instructor/student relationship. Instructors

need to have good interpersonal communication skills, be flexible, have a

strong sense of responsibility, and excellent organization management skills.

The instructor's role is more of a facilitator of learning than an importer of

kno wledge.

Product Evaluations

The project proposal called for the following product evaluations:

General formative evaluation was by the Technical Advisory Committee.

The TAC met in October and reviewed the negotiated budget and evaluated

the goals, objectives and activities. TAC members requested written

progress reports rather than quarterly meetings. Names of Task Force

members and copies of the packet of resources to be used by the task forces

were submitted to TAC members and meeting notes of the Task Force

meetings were sent to each TAC member. As little feedback was received,

positive evaluation was assumed.

Other proaucts were approvea as roliows, as directea by tne proposai:

TAC membership, approved by Project Administrator

Quality and quantity of TAC meetings, approved by Project

Administrator, supported by minutes of meetings and progress

reports.

Annotated bibliography, approved by Panel of Experts at the meeting

on April 13, 1994, and the TAC at the meeting on May 12,

1994.

Competency profile for Tech Prep completers, approved by Panel of

Experts and TAC at above named meetings.

Competency profile for non-completers, as determined by Task Force

2, is virtually empty and the "gap" as virtually the entire

spectrum of competencies in the completers' profile. This

finding was accepted by the Panel of Experts and the TAC.

Field Test procedures, results, conclusions, and recommendations

were evaluated by the Project Director. Analysis of pre-post

test data indicated significant increase in mastery of basic skills.

Competency Profiles of individual students documented mastery

of specific competencies. The survey results from students and

technical faculty were positive, and the responses of the Pre:

Technical Studies' instructors supported continuance of the

competency-based, individualized, self-paced instructional mode

for the courses tested. Survey responses and instructor

responses are in Appendix D.

Statewide dissemination was accomplished at a Presentation at the

Texas State Tech-Prep conference on March 30. 1994.

Participant survey responses indicated satisfactory responses.

Presentation outline and survey results are in Appendix C-1.

Results

Through the efforts of this project, competency profiles that reflect

attainments of persons who have completed the secondary component of

Tech Prep have been identified for mathematics, writing, reading, and

.1

araning. L.:urricula was aeveiopea to aggress the mathematics ana writing

needs of students who have not mastered these competencies. Integration

activities with instructors of technical courses resulted in assignments and

activities in these courses tailored to meet the competency requirements for

the specific program of study the student has chosen. Competency-based,

individualized materials were developed for Basic Mathematics. Beginning

Algebra, Introductory Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Mathematics, Writing

Skills I, and Writing Skills II. Competencies were established and some

curriculum development was done for reading and drafting.

These materials are in Appendix F.

Recognizing the need for a quarter dedicated to basic skills improvement, a

new configuration of courses will be offered 1994 Fall Quarter. This Bridge

Program Quarter will provide a daily sustained effort to remediate the lower

level students. It is designed to immerse them in mathematics and

communication skill building activities for four hours daily. In response to

the recommendations of business and industry, a beginning keyboarding

course will be part of this remediation core.

Realizing the need for students to be working toward and involved in their

chosen program, cooperative efforts with instructors of technical courses

identified courses in each program that could be successfully undertaken by

students with limited math and/or communication skills. This has resulted in

scheduling packets for faculty advisors to enable them to better advise

underprepared students and to enhance the student's opportunity for

success. These courses, along with the remediation courses taken through

immersion or the regular schedule, comprise the Bridge Program Quarter.

Bridge Program information is in Appendix E.

Conclusions

Competency-based, individualized, self-paced learning is especially

ompatible with remediation activities at the college level. It recognizes the

uniqueness of each student and accepts him as he is and helps him to go on

.witn aignity. me personal attention available to eacn -student nelps to

overcome fear and embarrassment and fosters advancement. It is helpful

for those who are able to accelerate as they recall concepts previously

learned. More rewarding, it provides the student who must re-learn

expanded time and attention necessary for success. Competency-based

learning is especially effective for re-entry students, men and women who

are returning to college for various reasons. Often layoff or divorce adds to

their concerns and impacts their powers of concentration. These students

are keenly aware of their lack of skills and the need for these skills in the

work place. They accept the need for remediation and are willing to give

time and personal attention to the effort.

Difficulties

The difficulties that occurred centered around those students most recently

out of high school, who do not, as yet, fully accept their personal

responsibility for their education. They come from a system where the

teacher tell them what they need to know so they are not adept at learning.

These students often do not use their time wisely because they see no

immediate repercussions to their lack of progress. When they do not learn

the expected material, they report it is because the instructor did not present

it in a lecture. Older students, especially those who have been in the work

force, more readily accept the responsibility for learning and understand the

need to know.

Print and media resources are readily available; more difficult to find are

activities to demonstrate application of knowledge. This will be the focus of

the Pre-Technical Studies department's continuing effort to build the Bridge

Program. The required concepts do not vary much from one technical

program to another, but the ways in which the concepts are used differ

considerably. Students, especially those with low basic skills, need to know

the "why" of what they are trying to learn to be able to better grasp the

"what".

The decision was made in consultation with the TAC to have the

dissemination workshop at the statewide Tech Prep practitioners conference.

The Tech Prep Texas State Conference was held March 28-30 in San

Antonio. The Bridge to Technology presentation was at 8:30am to 9:30pm

on Wednesday, March 30 to 35-40 attendees. The following areas of the

project were covered:

An overview of the grant project

Explanation of the process used to identify the

competencies.

Overview of competency-based education

Development of courses from iist of competencies

Management system for student progress records.

The presentation evaluation survey indicated the following responses by

those in attendance. On a rating scale of 1 being highest and 5 being lowest

rating, these responses resulted:

1. The presentation was well organized. Avg. 2.4

2. The information presented was concise and understandable.

Avg. 2.5

3. The handouts were pertinent and helpful. Avg. 1.8

4. Your program can use this information. Avg. 2.1

Half of the written comments received indicated it was difficult to hear

because of the noise level from the adjoining room and the lack of a

microphone. Half of the remaining comments reflected negative response to

information being read to them. The presentation had opened with a reading

of an overview of the Tech Prep program at che college site. Presentation

outline and survey resuits are in Appendix C.

Go for it. It's worth the effort. Competency-based, individualized, self-paced

education is one of the most effective ways to help people rebuild their basic

skills.

This mode of delivery is different and does not fit the picture people have of

how "school" is to be from their own personal experiences. Therefore, these

recommendation are offered:

Prepare for change. Recognize the differences and accept that

preparation is needed. Involve all the stakeholders :n the change

process: instructors, faculty advisors, lab assistants, administrators,

students, etc.

Spend some time with the stakeholders determining exactly what they

need/want to do, then work toward a curriculum plan you can adapt

to fit their needs.

Develop institution-wide support of the effort. Educate the

faculty to the idea and the processes. Their understanding is

necessary for their acceptance of the Bridge Program as an important

and integral part of their own programs.

The realities of today's incoming students' lack of basic skills and knowledge

mandates an effective remediation program for the continued success of the

college. Give the remediation program, whether it be the Bridge Program or

another process, the attention, support and respect due a department

charged with preparing students to learn at the college level. Back-up the

efforts of the remediation department to maintain high lev els of competency

for advancement into college courses. The more effective the remediation

program is, the more ready the student is to learn. This should result in

better prepared students and higher retention rates, graduates, and enhance

the institution's ability to provide workers prepared for the emerging

advanced, high-tech jobs that industry offers.

ABSTRACT PAGE

TECH-PREP, Category 1700-D, Non-collegiate-level academic andtechnical leveling or bridge courses for Tech-Prep non-completers.

Texas State Technical College--East Texas Center at Marshall (TSTC-ETC).

75,000.

Full-time project director and half-time project secretary.

Our educational system at all levels has been criticized by government, business, and industryleaders for producing graduates that lack the knowledge and skills required in today'sworkplace. The wOrkplace not only requires technical skills. The workplace requires greaterknowledge of academic subject matter (English, science, and mathematics) and workplace

basic skills (SCANS and TQM) as well.

The Tech-Prep initiativehas great potential for providing workplace relevant knowledge and

skills to both secondary and postsecondary graduates. Tech-prep, however, lacks a modelcompetency-based curriculum targeting displaced workers, high school non-completers, and

high school graduates not completing a Tech-Prep sequence of courses. Such a modelcurriculum is needed to prepare non-Tech-Prep students for entry into high-priority, advanced-level Tech-Prep programs at community and technical colleges.

The purpose, therefore, of the proposed project is to develop and validate a modelcompetency-based, non-collegiate-level curriculum designed to prepare non-Tech-Prep

students for high-priority, advanced-level Tech-Prep programs.

Goal I: Create and use a technical advisory committee (TAC) composed of: (a)

vocational-technical administrators, counselors, and instructors from both local

education agencies (LEAs) and postsecondary institutions (PSIs), and (b)representatives of councils of government (COGs), business, and indumy.

Goal II: Conduct a discrepancy analysis of technical, academic, and workplace basicknowledge and skills to develop a model non-collegiate-level, competency-based

curricula to bridge the gap between Tech-Prep non-completers and the entry

requirements of high-priority, advanced-level Tech-Prep programs at community

and technical colleges

Goal 111: Field test the model curriculum to determine appropriateness of selected curriculum

resources and make-recommendations for further development.

The proposed project will be conducted in conjunction with the Deep East Texas, East Texas,

Northeast Texas Tech-Prep Consortia, Quality Work Force Planning Committees, and

Councils of Government, and the Texas EmplOyment Commission. The project results will be

disseminated statewide. If the proposed project is funded, TSTC-ETC at Marshall will

provide up to $50,000 for curriculum resources selected for field testing.

Goal II, Objectives II-B was to have been completed by end of third month.Projected completion- end of fourth month.

4. List any problems or obstacles to successful completion of the project which were identified

during this quarter.Not a problem--a suggested change of focus emerged from discussions at TAC

meeting Instead of focusing on development of extended syllabi for courses,it would be more useful to focus on identification of gap in competencies ofcompleters to that of non-completers of Tech-Prep and creation of a process toaid others in developing/adapting courses to address the identified gap. Thiswould result in extended syllabi for 2 courses rather than "courses".

5. Describe how the problems or obstacles are being addressed.By concentrating more effort on development of gap identification.

6. Describe assistance requested from Staff Advisor and /or Federal Projects staff.Staff Advisor, Mr. Ron Curry, attended the TAC meeting on 10-6-93.

He contributed ideas, suggested resources, and helped to clarify goals.

during this quarter.Panel of experts comprised of both Task Forces was to meet Jan. 26 to identify the gapbetween completers and non-completers competency profiles. The Non-Complete.o TaskForce determined entry-level students/workers have few, if any, of the listedcompetencies. Thus the gap was identified as the entire completer's competency profile.I feel the non-completer's profile can be more clearly defined.

5. Describe how the problems or obstacles are being addressed.The TAC was informed of the stated problem in an update and will consider this at the3rd quarter meeting. I am currently researching placement tests at technicaland community colleges and JTPA programs to identify statistical information forpossible use in clarifying this gap.

TECH-PREP BRIDGE PROJECT

TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEEMeeting Notes

10-06-93South Padre Island

The following adaptations, suggestions, changes were recommended atthis meeting of the TAC:

Definitions:Competency-Based: Recognize that in some cases, though self-paced,individualized delivery system is desirable, the constraints ofsemester and quarter systems impose end time considerations.

Non-collegiate: Use term "Bridge" and define it. Courses may be"non-collegiate", but result in.creditssnot to be counted toward adegree.

High Priority approved, post secondary level Tech-Prep Programs:defined as post secondary portion of Tech-Prep educational plans.

Education plan includes attention to barriers, such as child careand transportation, and counseling needs. (Student services)

In addition to developmental courses, include for considerationthose courses such as Principles of Technology that have been addedat the high school level and were not available to students in highschool earlier.

FOCUSA model to develop courses linked to competency statements and

levels.Generate general average competency differences.Expanded syllabi ( syllabi to delivery system) for 1-2 specific

programs.Each Tech-Prep Consortium should be able o take the identifiedcompetency gap and use it to evaluate, adapt, develop their own

courses.

Tech-Prep Bridge ProjectTask Force for Non-Completers of Tech-Prep HSDecember 10, 1993UT Tyler, Muntz Library

MEETING NOTESReviewed Process:

Outlined scope of projectDescribed focus of todays activities

Introduction- Name and background that relates to todaysactivities. This was a group of persons fromdiverse areas of involement with skills levelsof persons entering college or workplace.

Two were Human Resource people in industry.One worked with JTPA clients.One with dislocated workers.Two college remediation instructors.One developer of training for industry.

They shared the frustrations and realities ofworking with persons who were educationallyand socially unprepared for the step they weretaking(job ap., college enrollment, and jobtraining). Though the frame of reference fromwhich they worked was different, thecommonalities of their experience and concernswas evident.

Evaluated Non-Completers attainment of Completers Competencies1. Described process through which competency list

was developed.2. Each considered the attainment of these

competencies by persons entering into their jobsite or institution.

3. Divided into two groups- one to consider matlt,one to consider communications.Actuality- both groups consideredcommunications. One group also consideredmath.

General Response- "Our people can't do any ofthese." Further reflection identified a fewthat some persons could do, but felt themajority could do few if any. Perhaps becausethey felt there was little they could, do with--&competency profile list, the discussions keptreverting to sharing of personal experiencesand observations of the needs of the non-completers.

Page 61: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

Response to CP ActivityBasically majority of students lack all

competencies listed.Math- most handle whole numbers.

Don't have concept of decimals. Even ifcan work problems.Thiokol people TABE results average 8th

grade math. Many persons had learned torely on Calculators to do even simplemath(TABE allowed no calculators, causeof concern for test takers)

Discussion:

WRAP Up:

Centered around need for interaction ofbusiness/industry and education entities.Educators- feel they have educated thestudents; hand them over to business. Businessneeds to be involved in the education andeducation need to experience business use of

skills.

Example- need of math to do Statistical Process

Control. Need of keyboarding skills to do data

input at workstation level.

Business- educators exchange/shadowing. Some

type of reciprocals hands on experience.

Include TQM- importance of knowing how to work

as a team(orientation).

Student needs to get a clearer perception ofhow skills and education is used on the job.TEACH TEAMWORK, TEAMWORK, TEAMWORK!

Because of the direction the discussions lookand the seeming lack of connectedness of thecompetency profile idea, I decided to come toclosure through a round robin summing up ofwhat value this experience might have had foreach of the TF participants.

Velma- felt more like an observer gatheringideas of what's needed. Excited to be hereand be a part of this effort. Her jobentails setting ed. program in place to meetspecific, contracted need of industry and ofcoordinating testing activities.

61

Page 62: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

Ruana- tncourage industry persons to beinvolved in education. Activelyrecruit/gather in industry persons.Find ways to foster conception/precep-tion of what job entails for students. Dealwith self perception/low self-esteem-thinking people are born with knowledge, soif don't know it, can't learn it.

Cheryl- get a newly hired person to sharewith students what he/she feels they need toknow, but haven't learned yet. Keyboardingskills should be considered a new requiredbasic skill.

Claudia- suggests I go to Lone Sar Steel tosee their culture/environment. Computerterminals are part of all work areas- data isinput by workers at the site, not bysecretary. Keyboarding skills necessary for

all workers. Computer literacy = usability,not history and bytes. For Tech-Prep to besuccessful, needs to get into the home.Parents need to realize it's not voc. ed.,butit is "technical". Need to get past "it wasgood enough for me(or my dad), it's goodenough for my kid(self). Colleges need to getTech Prep brochures to industrial sites toshare with employees as parents of prospectivestudents. LS has basic ed, GED prep, programfor workers and community. Encourage all non-grad applicants to come there and study forGED. Can take small groups only on tours. Cansplit classroom size groups into more than onesmall group per tour. Consider flexible timingfor education opportunities for shift workers.(We can help here at Pre-tech level.)

A

Al- time is now for tech-prep. Need tocombine schools, industry, society. Involvesociety to inform people of options. Manywho want to be doctors and make a lot of moneyhave not considered time and expense of

training. What will happen if they don'tmake it? What are the options along the way?HS students looking at next step usuallydon't consider job demand market.or.amount of-money you make from what you do. Take awaystigma of voc. ed./Tech. prep and move towardtodays industry(jobs) and todays moneymarket.

62

Velma- look at telecommunication linkagepossibilities(to interface industry/education).Use video of industrial experience with liveindustry person to facilitate follow updiscussion.

Jim Leather- Tap into Chambers of Commerceexperts. Boss' message to TF- teachTQM.Basic English and Math. Can pick up slackin tech knowledge through on the job training.

I want to thank you again for your participation on the TaskForce activities for the Carl Perkins Bridge Project and to letyou know that the January 26 joint meeting of the two Task Forceswill not be held.

The purpose of the joint meeting of the Task Force to identifythe competency profile of completers of the secondary (highschool) component of Tech Prep and the Task Force to identify thecompetency profile of non-completers of this part of Tech Prepwas to look at the differences and identify the gap in thecompetency profiles of the two groups.

The Task Force for non-completers determined that the majority ofpersons entering their program or facility had attained few, ifany,-of the competencies on the profile identified by thecompleters's Task Force. This identified the gap in thecompetency levels of the two groups as basically the whole listand give us the information we need to go forward with theproject's curriculum development activities.

I realize this is a very wordy letter. So, to put it moreclearly, you have done your work so well, you have alreadyaccomplished what the joint meeting was to have done.

Thanks again for your valuable contributions! I will probably becontacting you again to get your input on curriculum developmentideas.

Sincerely,

Ann Lewis, DirectorTech-Prep Bridge Project

MEETING NOTESPANEL OF EXPERTSUT TYLER

4-13-94

The Panel of Experts is composed of the members of the two taskforces that worked on the Competency Profiles. This compositionwas recommended by the TAC at the initial meeting in September,1993, (at the TAPSOEA meeting at South Padre Island).

Four of the eighteen persons on these two task forces attendedthis meeting: Ruana Sullivan, counselor, Clyde Ford, collegescience instructor, Cori Stanley, remedial English instructor,and Claudia Henderson, industry manager of workplace training.

The purpose of this meeting was the quantitative evaluation of:1) the Competency Profile for completers of the secondarycomponent the of Tech-Prep program, 2) the competency profile ofnon-completers of the secondary component of the Tech-Prepprogram, and 3) the identification of the competencies in the gapbetween the two competency profiles.

Members of the Panel eValuated the Competency Profile ofcompleters of he secondar com onent of Tech-Pre assufficiently comprehensive in scope. They identified some poorlyworded phrases and typos. They discussed general vs detailedcompetencies but did not suggest any specific changes. Most ofthe competencies are in general concept terms requiringsimplification into sub-competencies (objectives, sub-objectives).

The Task Force that was responsible for determining thecompetency profile of non-completers, used the completerscompetency profile as a starting point and considered which ofthese competencies would have been mastered by persons enteringtheir training center, workplace, or college. Their response wasthat few, if any, of the cothpetencies on the completers'competency profile had.been mastered by persons they haveentering their programs or workplace. Therefore, the competencyprofile of non-completers is blank, no specific competenciesconsistently mastered. The Panel of Experts agreed that this isa valid finding. Evaluation: the scope and comprehensiveness ofthis "non" profile represented the true picture from theperspective of this Panel.

The members of the Panel agreed that this established the qap inthe two competency profiles as all of the competencies on thecompleter's competency profile. At this site, TSTC-ETC, thecollege placement tests indicate that about 50% of the incomingstudents need remediation. Perhaps the majority of the personson the non-completers task force were the front-line educatorsfor those needing remediation. In some ways, the difference isacademic because an effective Bridge Program will need to provide

Page 71: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

learning opportunities for the whole spectrum of the CompetencyProfile in order to meet the needs of students entering at thelower levels.

The following products, developed in the process of preparing touse the competency profiles in field test classes, were sharedwith the members of the Panel of Experts:

Model Bridge Curriculum Plan (graphic)Matrix that identified core secondary coursesList of possible secondary school courses to include

Competency list to course development processCompetency Profile check listsCompetency-resource matrixSpecific course:

SyllabusObjectives, Sub-objectives of courseCourse outlineSample of Competency Standard of Mastery

My thoughts:With all of the above, the prevailing mood was one of "pie in thesky" -- if they only really knew how to read and do math, wecould teach them what we need them to know. It takes being toughand unpopular to create valid expectations and then hold the lineagainst advancement until standards are met.

CBE PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS

Program goals are agreed upon by representatives of thecommunity, employers, the agency staff, and the participantsconcerned.

The process for placing, monitoring, and certifying participantcompetency parallels the program's goals and in an integral partof program planning.

Individualization of instruction is based on participant or learnersneeds as indicated by pre/post testing of competency attainmentand are not on what others in a group are achieving.

Instruction is frequently developed in modules and sometimespackaged in developmental sequences.

Instructional strategies teach course concepts and basic skillsthrough their application in a functional context that is relevant tothe learner's goals.

Because assessment, placement, and instruction are integratedcomponents of CBE, it is essential that agency personnelresponsible for management, guidance and instruction workclosely together as a team.

INVERUCTUR RESPONSE

, To: Competency-Based, Individualized, Self-Paced Education

Prepared by: Gregory B. MWDaniel

Response:

Over the past year, I have served TSTC-ETC at Marshall intwo separate but connected roles as an instructor. My primaryrole has been as a Mathematics instructor in the Pre-Technical

Studies department. My other role has been as an adjunctMathematics instructor for Panola College as part of theconsortium by which Panola instructs TSTC-ETC's students in

General Education, college-level coursework. These dual roles

have provided me with the opportunity to observe the ability of

our students from the Basic Mathematics level to the Plane

Trigoncmetry level.

I have found competency-based, individualized, self-pacededucation the best way to go in our Pre-Tech Math classes. Manystudents would have failed if their particular course had not

been self-paced. With the self-paced mode, they were allowed to

make an inccaplete and thus finish their course in nore than onequarter. Also, many of our studegAs haye not taken a math coursefor several years. A lot of these students can complete theircoursework fairly rapidly after just beccming familiar withmathematical concepts again.

Self-paced education is effective in all of our Pre-Tech

Math courses. It is mot effective at the Beginning Algebra

level. It is least effective at the Intermediate Algebra level.

I do not use ccupetency-based, individualized, self-paced

education in my college-level courses (College Algebra and Plane

Trigonanetry) . But, I have observed how it could be used in this

setting. I would only want to use the self-paced mode in order

to accelerate the students through the coursework. I feel as

though students should have to ccaplete a certain amount of work

within a term in order for them to receive college credit. Thus,

I can envision using an effective pre-test in order to place a

student in an "accelerated" or a "regular" mode of instruction.

In Estimation, I will always push for us to use self-paced

instruction in our Pre-Technical Studies Mathematics courses. Inaddition to this, / would like to pilot an accelerated programfor our College Algebra classes.

DATE: 25 July 94

SUBJECT: Instructor Evaluation of Competency Based, Self-Paced,Accelerated Learning in Pre-Tech Mathematics

For the past several months, I have utilized the competencybased, self-paced, accelerated learning technique of instructionin three mathematics classes.

Overall, it is effective in enabling students to bridge the gapfrom their wide range of starting capabilities to the specifiedcompetencies required of the follow-on "customer courses",whether they are technical courses or higher level mathematics.In this respect, I have been very pleased with the results ofthis non-tradftional approach. I have seen several studentsbegin slowly (in fact, almost imperceptibly), but react well tothe lack of pressure to "stay with the class", and thenaccelerate their pace of learning after mastering somemathematical or personal obstacle to progress. Often theseaccelerated students master the competencies well before the endof the established quarter, and are able to concentrate theirefforts in other courses.

Of course, there has been the occasional person who did not stayon the theoretical schedule, or who did not conquer a hurdle andthen move along quickly enough to catch-up and then finish thecourse within the 12 week quarter. For those in this categorywho were making conscientious efforts to learn and apply therequired mathematical competencies, I designated the grade of"Incomplete", permitting them to return for whatever time it tookto finish their learning during the following quarter.Conversely, for those whose effort was not conscientious, Irewarded them with the failing grade that they earned. There hasnot been one instance of a student stating that he or she wastreated unfairly, or that the conscientiousness of his or herefforts had been misinterpreted. Therefore, I am very pleasedwith the aspect of this program that focuses on the individual'ssense of responsibility for learning.

The concept of efficiency should be considered beforeimplementation of this type of instruction. It is undeniablethat one instructor cannot adequately facilitate the learning ofas many self-paced students as an instructor in a moreconventional-lecture mode. This requires the dedication of morepersonnel resources than that to which a school may beAccustomed, and may therefore be considered inefficient.h sever, the success rate with non-traditional students appears

Page 118: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

to be more than worth what might be considered by some to be theinefficient use of instructor resources.

As a final note, it becomes obvious after only a short exposureto competency based, self-paced,-accelerated learning, that itssuccess requires the assignment of instructors with welldeveloped inter-personal skills, senses of responsibility, andflexibility of focus.

Teaching within a competency based, self-paced, acceleratedlearning environment for the past several months has caused me to

realize the value of this style of learning/teaching, and Isupport further work to fine tune this technique for appropriatecourses.

BRIDGE PROJECTPRE-TECH ENGLISH

SUMMARYBy Cod Stanley

Having taught in both self-contained and competency-based, indivi-

dualized programs, I see the value of both types of environments; there

is a time and place for each. In my Pre-Tech English classes, I believe I

have successful utilized both approaches.

Lecture and whole-class activities are necessary when introducing

new concepts, administering tests, discussing assignments, and writing

situations. Writing is a process which involves brainstorming and sharing

ideas with others; peer responding is a necessai'y part of this process both

for the writer and the responder. Many skills are incorporated in thern

writing process such as analyzing, making decisions, listening, speaking,

etc.; this interaction would be lost in an individualized setting.

Competency-based objectives are extremely helpful when teaching

remedial subjects. It enables the instructor to determine exactly what

skills the student has and what is iacking; time is not lost repeating

instruction on skills the student already possesses. Instead, all energies

can be directed to providing the tools, materials, and instruction necessary

to meet the student's needs. At the end of the quarter, the instructor can

Page 1 of 2

Page 120: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

provide the student, counselor, or advisor with concrete information on

the student's progress, what was completed, and what is still lacking. All

parties involved know exactly what the student has achieved or still

requires.

An individualized setting allows students to work at their own pace

without the fear of failure or competition; they do what they can in the

time allotted. If they cannot complete their work, they do not receive an

"F", but are considered "I"n Progress and are allowed to continue their

work until they do complete it. They, rather than the instructor, are

accountable for their successor or failure.

The main problems I have encountered in an individualized setting

are in student time management. Most of the students do no know how

to prioritize their college schedule or tend to procrastinate. As a result,

they are often caught in a "crunch" and find themselves playing "catch

up" for the rest of the quarter.

Students react differently to these conditions. Many prefer the

individualized approach and find it less stressful; others like the structured

whole-group concept and find it keeps them "on track". However, it is

important for students to be successful in both arenas.

In addition, the following comments were made on two surveys:

1 . "Already had good attitude...responses based on one student andopinions of one other student."

2. "These questions .do not really apply. Some of the TSTC studentshave terrible writing skills. Without the Bridge program, the Pre-Tech English, the less skilled students would not be able to satisfywriting requirements for any classes. Cori Stanley does a great jobwith the people who managed to avoid learning almost any grammarin their educational experience. I commend Cori for her hard work,perseverance, and success."

CONCLUSIONS:

Many of the instructors verbally expressed difficulty completing the surveybecause they may not have had the same student before and after Pre-Tech classes. This is not uncommon; most students take Pre-Tech before

taking their program classes.

Most of the instructors have been very supportive of Pre-Tech and haveencouraged their students to consult me regarding their assignments; I amfrequently invited to observe and critique oral presentations and writtenreports required for program courses.

It is the general consensus of most of the faculty that Pre-Tech is a valued

and necessary part of the students' education, particularly for thoseentering with limited skills.

SUMMARY OF

INSTRUCTOR SURVEY:

PRE-TECH MATH.BRIDGE PROJECT

Nine of TSTC-ETC at Marshall's Instructors were interviewed. These

instructors were chosen based on the fact that they had been with

the institution since the Fall of '93 or before. Also, at least

one instructor was chosen from each of the six program areas.

These instructors were asked 6 different questions about Pre-Tech

Math and were asked to give numerical ratings to these six

questions. In addition to this, they were asked to give openresponses to the questions.

The questions, ratings, and responses follow.

Question 1. How significant is math proficiency to a student's

success in your program?

Rating mean = 3.8 with 4 representing highly

Some of the responses were:

"It is an absolute necessity for our higher-level courses."

"Math provides a process of thought."

Question 2. What level of mathematics is required for success in

your program?

Rating mean = 3.2 with 3 representing College Algebra and 4

representing Trigonometry

Some of the responses were:

"Students must be able to manipulate formulas and solve quadraticequations from the first quarter on."

"Students must at least be able to use a handbook of formulas."

Question 3. In general, students who have not "needed" pre-techmath have performed how well in math-related aspects of your

program?

Rating mean = 3.6 with 4 representing very well

Outside of the rating, there were no meaningful responses.

125

Page 125: Report. Austin. 551p. GuidesNon-Collegiate-Level Academic and Technical Leveling or Bridge Courses for Tech Prep Non-Completers. Final. Report. Texas State Technical Coll., Marshall

Question 4. In general, students who have "needed", but did not

complete pre-tech math have performed how well in math-related

aspects of the program?

Rating mean = 1.5 with 1 representing minimally

Some of the responses were:

"They have done a minimal job in math-related aspects."

"They have barely gotten by."

"You can tell a difference."

Question 5. In general, students who have "needed", and completed

pre-tech math have performed how well in math-related aspects of

the program?

Rating mean = 2.6 with 1 representing minimally and 4 representing

very well

Some of the responses were:

"These students would never be going full-speed without pre-tech."

"It has given these students a chance."

Question 6. In your opinion, how significant is pre-tech math inpreparing students for success in the math-related aspects of your

program?

Rating mean = 3.7 with 4 representing highly

Some of the responses were:

"I can't imagine some students making it without pre-tech math."

"It is absolutely essential."

"Some students would never have a chance to get through our program

and thus make a living without pre-tech."

BRIDGE PROGRAM QUARTER SUGGESTIONS

The need for a Bridge Program quarter is based on low CPT scores. The CPT/TASPinformation sheet the student brings to the faculty advisor will direct you to enrollthe student into specific academic courses. If these scores indicate a need to startat MATH 050, ENGL 010, REA 020, a Pre-Tech quarter is advised.

1 Cohorts start in Fall and Spring Quarters, but a first time enrollee in either ofthose quarters (and needing Pre-Tech courses) will have two quarters toconcentrate on Pre-Tech courses before joining the next official cohort. Thisstudent would enter the cohort with some program courses completed asthey were taken as options during Bridge Program quarters.

2. First time enrollees entering Winter or Summer quarters may have only oneBridge Program quarter and be ready to join the next cohort. This studentmay enter the cohort still needing some Pre-Tech courses but would still bebetter prepared than without one Bridge Program quarter.

NOTE: Students can register for two courses of the same subject at thesame time. Because the work is individualized and students work at theirown pace, they can work both class times on one course for half of thequarter, complete that course, then work during both class times on thesecond course. They do need to register for both courses and come bothclass times.

3. If the student's CPT report indicates a need for reading remediation startingat the REA 020 course, he/she should be scheduled for both REA 020 and030 to get their reading skills improved as fast as possible as that impactsevery other course they take.

4. Make a serious attempt to complete Pre-Tech needs (except TASP classes,090 classes) prior to beginning the 3rd quarter. To do this, consider wherethey start in math and count the courses needed. If starting at 050, and allgoes well, they will need to double up in math as there are 4 quarters of Pre-Tech math, 050, 060, 070, 104, needed to be ready for College Algebra.

There are four Pre-Tech math courses, two Pre-Tech writing and two Pre-Tech reading courses, so plan accordingly.

Re: Pre-Tech Immersion Quarter

Date: 6-30-94

In addition to the regular Pre-Tech courses, we will offer immersion, block time BridgeProgram Fall quarter.

The immersion Bridge quarter is for students whose CPT scores indicate they need to start atthe lowest level of Math and English (MATH 050 and ENGL 010 or REA 020). In thisarrangement the student will concentrate on remediation in a daily exposure schedule ratherthan once a week. Thus:

MATH MTWTF 8:00am to 9:50am,ENGL MTWT 11:00am to 11:50, and/orREA MTWTF 10am to 11:50am.( Orientation will be offered Fri, 11:00 to 11:50am.)

This will take an intensive effort on the part of the student, so the student must understand thefocus is on preparing to be successful, rather than beginning immediately in "real" cuurses.Your older students will probably be most successful in this program. Recent hip'. schoolgraduates may not have enough motivation to hang in there and be committed to aremediation effort.

TO REGISTER STUDENTS IN THE IMMERSION BRIDGE PROGRAM

The goal is to register students for four Pre-Tech courses to be taken 8am to 12

noon, Monday through Friday to provide a concentrated effort to build the skillsneeded.The students will be registered in two Pre-Tech math and two Pre-Tech English courses.

Both of these:MATH 050 M1 2-3-3 RM 108 MTWTF 8:00am-8:50amMATH 060 M1 2-3-3 RM 108 MTWTF 9:00am-9:50am

Register the student for both MATH 050 and MATH 060These students will work the two hours each day on 050 until that is done, thencontinue on into 060. (Hopefully also complete 070 and be ready for IntermediateAlgebra Winter quarter.

ANDENGL 010 M1 1-3-2 RM 108 MTWT 10:00am-10:50amENGL 020 M1 1-3-3 RM 108 MTWT 11:00am-11:50am

Instead of or along with ENGL, depends on need.

Register the students for two of the above ENGL or REA courses. If reading is needed,register for one REA and one ENGL course. Example: REA 030 and ENGL 010The students will work on these simultaneously as the instructor directs.

The plans are to have an additional ORI 102 section from 11-12 on Fridays. Thiswould make the required 12 credits for full time student status.

Students who are in this program can take a 3 credit "real" course in the afternoon.

From: Ann Lewis

Re: . Bridge Program Immersion Quarter

Date: 6-30-94

In addition to the regular Pre-Tech courses, we will offer immersion, block time BridgeProgram Fall quarter.

The immersion Bridge quarter is for students whose CPT scores indicate they need to start atthe lowest level of Math and English (MATH 050 and ENGL 010 or REA 020). In thisarrangement the stunt will concentrate on remediation in a daily exposure schedule ratherthan once a week. Thus:

MATH MTWTF 8:00am to 9:50am,ENGL MTWT 11:00am to 11:50, and/orREA MTWTF 10am to 11:50am.( Orientation will be offered Fri., 11:00 to 11:50am.)

This will take an intensive effort on the part of the student, so the student must understand thefocus is on preparing to be successful, rather than beginning immediately in "real" courses.Your older students will probably be most successful in this program. Recent high schoolgraduates may not have enough motivation to hang in there and be committed to aremediation effort.

TO REGISTER STUDENTS IN THE BRUDGE IMMERSION PROGRAM

The goal is to register students for four Pre-Tech courses to be taken 8am to 12 noon,Monday througn Friday to provide a concentrated effort to build the skills needed.

Both of these:MATH 050 M1 2-3-3 RM 108 MTWTF 8:00am-8:50amMTh 115 M1 3-2-4 RM 108 MTWTF 9:00am-9:50am

Register the student for both MATH 050 and MTH 115These students will work the two hours each day on 050 until that is done, thencontinue on into 115.

AND TWO of the following:

ENGL 010 M1 1-3-2 RM 108 MTWT 10:00am-10:50am

Total 9 credit hours

AND/OR

REA 020 MI 2-3-3 RM 108 MTWTF 10:00am-10:50amREA 030 M1 2-3-3 RM 108 MTWTF 11:00am-11:50am

If the student needs reading. register him/her for the recommended REA course and ENGL010. If the student only needs ENGL 010, register them for only that course using the10am time and he/she will be able to take some other course the fourth hour or use itfor study time.

This would complete your math requirements and qualify these students for ENG 107the following quarter.

The plans are to have an additional ORI 102 section from 11-12 on Fridays.

Students who are in this program can take a 3 credit "real" course in the afternoon.

III. COURSE OUTLINE

Lecture/Lab

Students enrolled in Math 050 are scheduled in class for a period

of 2 lecture hours per week and 3 lab hours per week.

Pre-Technical Studies is a self-paced, individualized program. For

each course, students are given a diagnostic pre-test, a set of

assignments over objectives they have not yet mastered (iNmed on

the diagnostic pre-test), and a comprehensive course mastery test.

In addition to scheduled lectures, one-on-one time with the

instructor (based on the individual student's need) is considered

to be part of the 211ours of lecture per week.
