Initial data on student outcomes for Fall 2019 indicate continued success for Corequisite Learning Support in Georgia, and offer indicators of what works, and what doesn't work, in Learning Support. This online session with Dr. Tristan Denley, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer for the University System of Georgia provides an overview of the long-term trend and most recent data on student outcomes for the Corequisite Learning Support.
Georgia went to scale with learning support for all students in Fall 2018. At the time, there was some concern that as students who were previously served in prerequisite Foundations courses enrolled in collegiate courses with Learning Support, overall success rates would flag. For the 2018 cohort, this was not the case, with students performing slightly better in terms of success in the gateway course.,
Building community among students in learning support is thought to play an important role in the engagement and success of students and supports their sense of belonging and self-efficacy. Making these connections in a remote setting demands different strategies and approaches to those that faculty have often mastered for their in-person courses.
Featuring Sonia Ford-Petch, department chair and professor of mathematics at Midland College in Midland, Texas, this conversation will provide an opportunity to learn best practices in online settings and to share your work and experiences.
Dr. Ford-Petch has been teaching mathematics face-to-face and online at the collegiate level for over 19 years. Dr. Ford-Petch’s research focuses on best practices in teaching and learning in an online environment with an emphasis on increasing students’ feelings of connectedness.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the 2020 Mindset Summit originally scheduled for April 10 on the campus of Columbus State University will be supported as a virtual event. More details on this opportunity will be available soon.
