  2. Precalculus Redesign Program Goals and Keys • R2R: NCAT Roadmap to Redesign Program • (Fall 2004-Spring 2007) • Goals of Redesign • 1-To use technology • 2-To reduce costs • 3-To continue/improve current success rates • Pedagogical Keys of Redesign • 1-Active Student Learning Experience • 2-Personalized, Individualized Instruction  • 3-Immediate Feedback  • 4-Repetition to Mastery

  3. Courses and Enrollment College Algebra (3 credit hours) • 1800 Fall • 400 Spring • 200 Summer Trigonometry (3 credit hours) • 1000 Fall • 1000 Spring • 200 Summer Precalculus (Alg/Trig combo) (5 credit hours) • 400 Fall • 50 Spring

  4. Math Placement

  5. Precalculus Courses - Content

  6. A. Flexible Lab Model(Fall and Spring only) Class at fixed time • CA – 1 hour per week – 40 students • Trig – 1 hour per week – 200 students • Precalculus – 2 hours per week – 40 students • Review and connecting of concepts, working examples with most difficult skills Lab at flexible times (open 60 hours each week) • CA – 3 hours minimum each week • Trig – 3 hours minimum each week • Precalculus – 4.5 hours minimum each week • Do homework, do quizzes, read ebook, watch videos

  7. B. Fully Online Model • 1 section each of College Algebra and Trig • Sections capped at 100 students each • No class meetings • Optional lab hours – flexible times • Rigid due dates • Option to work ahead

  8. C. Fixed Lab Model(Summer only) • 2 sections of College Algebra and 2 sections of Trig • Enrollment per section capped at 100 • 8 class days and 16 lab days cycling in order of class, lab, lab, and then repeating • 1.5 fixed hours in class and 3 fixed hours in lab required per cycle • Lab open 8 hours each cycle

  9. Pleasant Hall Math LabFall 2005

  10. Assessments • All homework, quizzes, tests, and final exam using MyMathLab • Test in university testing center • Grade Distribution 10% Participation (5% class and 5% lab) 10% Homework (drop lowest 2) 10% Quizzes (drop the lowest 2) 45% Tests (4) 25% Final (can replace lowest test score)

  23. LSU College Readiness Program Overview • High school teachers become “certified” in the program by successfully completing the summer workshop training requirements. • Teachers have access to online content for their students for the specific course they specialize in at the workshop. • Content is available online in MML for high school Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Advanced Math/Precalculus, Calculus, and 6-8th grade math. • Teachers “certified” in Advanced Math/Precalculus have the option to complete additional workshops (1 fall and 1 spring) and teach courses for dual credit.

  24. The Plan College Readiness Program Summer Workshop • Professional Development for 8-days during the summer in LSU Math Lab • LSU faculty facilitator and 5 high school mentor teachers • Workshop content 1. Technology: MyMathLab by Pearson Education • Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery 3. Content: Math homework for teachers

  30. Algebra I EOC DataSpring 2010 and Spring 2011

  31. Dual Enrollment • The contents of the year-long high school Advanced Math/Precalculus course very closely align with the one semester 3-credit-hour LSU Math 1021 College Algebra and the one semester 3-credit-hour LSU Math 1022 Trigonometry. • Two additional courses are now being piloted on a limited basis: Math 1431 Business Calculus Math 1029 Contemporary Mathematics

  32. Dual Enrollment • Students have same Homework, Quizzes, Tests, and Final Exam as LSU students using MyMathLab • Teachers present 1/3 of the face-to-face classroom time; students work 2/3 of the face-to-face time in a computer lab environment with teacher support

  33. Dual EnrollmentFall 2006 – Fall 2011

  34. Dual Enrollment Spring 2008

  35. Elements of a SuccessfulRedesign/Readiness/DE Program • Fixed, Structured Curriculum – course(s), contents, setup in MML, grading plan, dual credit, alignment • Stable, Sustained Delivery Method – appropriate 1:2 ratio for lecture:lab plan • Extensive Teacher Training – multiple workshops, academic year follow-up • Well-defined Logistics Plan – administration, communication, student registration 5. Strong Institutional Support – roles, monitoring, release time for faculty • Adequate Technology – cost and setup of computer labs, purchasing of access codes • Scaling Options – piloting, growing, and expanding
