Why Acceleration?
Large research studies inside and outside California have established that the more levels of developmental courses a student must take, the less likely the student is to ever complete college courses in English and Math.
The California Acceleration Project (CAP) stresses that we can’t keep attributing this problem to students’ low skills or low motivation. Instead, we must examine our curricular sequences themselves. Project leaders Katie Hern and Myra Snell make the case that high attrition rates are structurally guaranteed in multi-semester developmental sequences. The more “exit points” where students can fall away by not passing or not enrolling in the next course, the smaller the number of students who will complete the final course.”
Today’s Presentation
Katie Hern and Myra Snell, leaders of the California Acceleration Project, along with faculty teaching accelerated classes in English and math, will provide interactive presentations to help us explore the idea of Acceleration. Workshop will include student outcomes data, classroom materials, video, and tools faculty can use to develop accelerated models for their own campus.
