Feb. 2015: system wide committee to eliminate silos and approach challenges and solutions as a system team

effort

We knew that because of our ATD innovation efforts that we had some pilots that could make a difference: ALP, emporium, split terms, etc...

We began discussing scaling something up to offset the impact pre requisite vertical placement was having on our students

Couple of things happened at this point

Our consultant began to share new data with the SSC

And a UH team made their way to CCA to hear similar data

The Results are in:

“Participating faculty were the greatest champions; some doubting that it would work at all and amazed that it was more than doubling the success rates of...students.”
