Achieving the Dream Quantitative Outcomes SL and Non-SL Lower Level Math Courses – Spring 2006
College Learning Council June 1, 2006 Institutional Research and Learning Assessment
A few thoughts….. Early results are foundational to the ATD work and formative in nature. Comparative outcomes over time will bring deeper, richer results. Early results offer great value in the questions they offer; Culture of Inquiry
Quick Overview 407 FTIC Students in 34 sections of SL math; 900+ total enrollments in SL. Students were unaware at registration that their math course was an SL section. FTIC SL-Cohort = 44.2% Caucasian, 23.6 Hispanic, 20.6 African American, 2.5% Asian, and 9.1% Other.

A few highs and lows…. African Americans had the highest withdrawal rate (58.8%) and the lowest success rate (38%). SL sections for Heavy remediation students showed lower success rates than non-SL for every ethnic group. All ethnic groups in the Light remediation cohort showed higher success rates in SL sections, with Hispanics earning the highest rate (80.8%).
