The document discusses transitioning developmental education programs from "stumbling blocks" to "stepping stones". It recommends three main strategies: 1) Make programs more visible on campus through shared offices and faculty collaboration. 2) Align curriculum between levels so transitions are seamless. 3) Provide training for adjunct instructors to ensure consistent instruction. The overall goal is to better integrate developmental programs and improve students' perceptions and pathways to success.
No Doom and gloom statistics - we know these already No one size fits all solutions - campuses vary; politics vary; history varies What I am going to share is Possibilities - no only for reading and writing but also for Math. Most talks on transitions focus on the stepping stones. How can we get this student to the beach and “beyond.” And I will focus on this. But I want to break of this box and focus on the broader picture first. What’s going to happen when the student reaches “the other side”? Who is coming over to greet this student? What’s going on in the college in the upper far left?
No. We didn’t have extra offices for folks. You had to be really really old to get a window. I found niches. One time the college was retrofitting an area for faculty offices. I requested to go into that area (offices are very political). The Dean told me just to put my stuff in the corner of the room, which I did and they built the offices around me! Another time the electronic department found an office for two and wanted someone who didn’t smoke to share. I raised my hand. How isolated are you? Nursing department felt like they had their own private consultant. Over the years, this grew into an actual position of the Study Skills Consultant.
