Multiple Measures Susan Barbitta Associate Director, Special Projects North Carolina Community College System Office barbittas@nccommunitycolleges.edu
Multiple Measures: NC Policy • HS Degree within 5 years • Unweighted high school GPA ≥ 2.6 • 4 math classes
Multiple Measures: NC Early Data Fall 2013-Fall 2014 Success Rates Placement via MM, no additional academic supports
Multiple Measures: Research Study • Funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation • 6 NC Community Colleges • Target population: Students exempting developmental education with HS GPAs between 2.60 - 2.99 • Focus: Gateway math and/or English
MM Waiver Students Pre-Support SP 14 & FA 14
MM Waiver Students Pre-Support SP 14 & FA 14
Multiple Measures Supports • Co-requisite approach: 4 Colleges • Supplemental Instruction Sessions: 1 College • Remediation Modules: 1 College
Research Questions Addressed • Is there a difference in outcomes between the target and control groups? • Are target groups benefiting from the supports? • Are there adjustments necessary to the design and/or implementation?
Research Questions Addressed • Are there outcome differences by specific student groups, among the targeted student group, and are these the same differences seen with non-targeted students? • Which student groups’ outcomes appear to be most impacted by the implementation strategies and related supports?
Multiple Measures Supports…. Co-requisite Labs • Goal: Strengthen pre-requisite math skills and knowledge • 1-credit labs • Multiple classes one lab • Instructor led • Class design • Lecture • Computer work • Group work
Multiple Measures Supports …. Remediation Modules • Goal: Refresh basic skills, improve pre-requisite knowledge, level the playing field • Uses on-line assessment and review tools • Pre-test [identify weaknesses], complete review [close knowledge gaps], post-test [ensure gaps closed]
Outcomes, Target Group Co-requisite Support Labs
MM Waiver Students Pre/Post-Support Average grade 2.7 1.4
MM Waiver Students Pre/Post-Support Percentage of FTIC MM Students Attaining D, F, W in Targeted Math Course 22 17 13 12 10 6
Next Steps • Evaluating the Multiple Measures Policy • Disaggregating the high school GPA by tenths • ACT/SAT • Refining the Developmental Education reform
