4. Ivy Tech - has implemented several new models to quickly move students through remedial coursework and into college-level coursework thanks to an innovation grant received from Complete College America in July of this year.
In July, Governor Mitch Daniels announced a statewide focus on increasing college completion rates in Indiana, a state that ranks forty-first in the nation in the proportion of adults with a college credential.
As part of that grant funding the Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s grant proposal, “Smarter Choices, Faster Completion,” centered on two key strategies: redesigning the delivery of remedial coursework at Ivy Tech Community College and creating highly structured intervention strategies that better support student success at the regional campuses of Indiana University.
In the two months since the grant announcement, Ivy Tech has implemented six new remedial education models to help students who are not college ready excel quickly through their remedial coursework in English and Math and on to college level courses. Some of the pilots allow students to work concurrently in remedial coursework and college level coursework, while others use online technology to facilitate learning. The remedial models are being piloted at several of the college’s campus locations this Fall semester.
The Online Instruction with Tutoring Pilot for K-12 math is a self-paced online instruction with online tutors. Mentors are provided to assist students in taking an online course taught by a K-12 faculty member. Pilots are currently being held at the college’s Kokomo, Richmond, Terre Haute and Indianapolis campuses.
Another remedial pilot program is the Co-requisite model and is affiliated with the college’s new Ivy Institute of Technology programs. Students work through an individualized learning plan in a self-paced, computer lab setting with an instructor available to monitor progress and assist students as needed. The program uses KeyTrain which offers diagnostics to assess student achievement levels and content mastery assessments to determine student progress. The model is currently being piloted at the college’s Warsaw, Indianapolis, Richmond, Terre Haute, Anderson and Sellersburg campuses.
More than two-thirds of Indiana’s community college students require remediation at an annual cost estimated to exceed $35 million for what are essentially high school level courses. In a departure from traditional “one-size-fits all” remediation models that have proved to be largely ineffective, Indiana’s approach will customize the level and type of support provided to students based on their level of need in an effort to get them through remedial courses more quickly, saving both time and money in the process.
