difficult for counselors as well Original program at Coastline was designed specifically to address this state of affairs Student Learning Outcomes SLOs for courses have corresponding, aligned assessment measures defined in course outlines – Portfolios, essay tests, case studies, individual projects, group projects, pre-post test/ always multiple measures Program SLOs / time to document in matrix Some courses are more suitable “vehicles” for certain TEACh3 program outcomes than others Retention/Attrition For spring semesters retention improved, while college retention rates declined. From fall ‘03 to fall ‘04 retention declined for the program, but also declined for college as a whole. Area needs to be reviewed Preferred frame of reference for comparison purposes: other distance learning classes, rather than all course comparison mean Retention rate for all credit DL classes for Fall ‘04 = 79.73% -Ranked from highest to lowest: Math 106 85% EDU 180 82% EDU 103 82% Math 104 71% Chem 105 68% EDU 200 66% EDU 104 65% Math 103 60% Persistence While attrition rate for four of the benchmark classes falls somewhat below the DL average, the persistence rates documented in the TEACh3 data base indicate that students subsequently enroll in the same class previously dropped. A student dropping a class for whatever reason seems to have little bearing on whether or not a student enrolls in another class. Interviews with students dropping classes indicate: External factors (time constraints) Inability to perform 40 hours of tutoring This is supported by demographic data indicating the number of students who are also working full and part-time Retention/attrition numbers are affected by inconsistent way students are recorded as dropping Grade Distribution Grading philosophy for most classes: criterion referenced Large percentage of students are receiving grades of A or B, class grade can be used as one of among a repertoire of indicators to measure outcomes Odd distribution: failing grades may be due to an inconsistent methodology used to grade students who just stopped showing up to an online class but who never officially dropped the class. Student Satisfaction Majority of survey respondents indicate they are very satisfied with the quality of instruction, the overall quality of the program, and their own success in the program. Encouraging responses re interaction, as we like to think we are modeling good teaching, and we think good teaching involves interaction. Student Comments on Satisfaction Want more ITEP classes online Dissatisfaction: – Counseling/ pink checklist, erroneous information – Complaints from time period when TEACh3 services to students were unavailable or reduced, especially with specialized counseling and workshops; this most likely overextended the busy generalist counselors who are not able to devote as much time to just one program, especially the changes in requirements which occur, almost as one partner at a recent CSULB/ITEP/ITEP meeting stated, daily. – Too many changes, too much fieldwork (beyond Coastline's control) Student Suggestions/Comments Closer relationship with students right before transfer (this was part of the original plan via electronic and other means of communication) Student Comments: (see report) – I really enjoyed the experience that I had and I thanked the teacher and the principal for letting me come and observe and deliver a math lesson. …. I think that I was pretty put together and the teacher said that I did a great job and that I handled my lesson very well. I got a kick out of teaching and the students loved me being there. They asked me if I would be back tomorrow, and I answered unfortunately no. They asked if I would be back on Monday and again I answered no. Both times they made sad puppy faces and expressed verbal sadness for me leaving and not helping them again later in the year. This experience has definitely shown me that teaching is my passion, and I cannot wait until the day that I will have my own class and make an impact on the students just as I did in the class that I visited”. Student Comments, cont. – Wow! Thanks for your response...and your encouragement, as well as the additional information. I had no idea that waiver programs are done, and that I’m going to have to do the CSET anyway. I sincerely appreciate that you took the time to let me know. What would we do without e-mail? Thanks for everything......I need all the help I can get! Getting a teaching credential is totally complicated. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t been available to help me put this all together”. – I am thankful for all of you help in my college career! It has been an eternity, or it seems, trying to get all of these classes done with, and I am frustrated with all the budget cuts and class cuts. I just got your email right now and I am glad to see that there is a possibility that I could appeal their decision. I am so overworked and I feel like I am behind in everything... . Geez. I never knew how hard it was to work and go to school! Thank you for the kind words, and all your help with this school situation! I really appreciate everything you have went out of your way to help me with! Thanks, with deepest sincerity, Student Comments, cont. – When the semester began, we were all, as you know very much “gung ho” about this class. When the September 11 terrorist attacks took place, I began to question my ability to be responsible for twenty or thirty five-year olds. As the course continued, and the observations began, I knew immediately that the classroom was where I was supposed to be! I think the observations were extremely valuable for me. I was able to work with the kids one on one and in groups. Learning the standards as thoroughly as we did was also very valuable. We now know exactly what is expected of us. This knowledge has definitely increased my desire to teach and I cannot wait to do it! What surprised me the most was learning how much is involved in teaching. It is so multilayered; kids, parents, faculty, oh, and a personal life (if there’s time). I have a new respect for teachers, that’s for sure”! Program Resources Faculty: department chairs, doctorates, K-12 teaching credentials, awards Dedicated: developed classes, continued working when funding for their efforts had stopped, have shown tenacity in not letting the program fade away. Will miss: Jim Baugh, Stacey Hunter-Schwartz Refer to report for survey responses Focus here on faculty comments: – Variety of classes/ with caveat, that they will count towards credential – Strong expression of support for coordinator/counselor model Faculty less satisfied with college support for program, adequacy of student recruitment and counseling services, and adequacy of program marketing--- sampling of comments: The Counselor/Coordinator “ does an excellent job of recurring students, even with the limited hours she has to do so. Think what the program would be if she were given more hours!!” “ The TEACh3 program is only as successful as its support staff. Without a knowledgeable “cheerleader” we won’t have adequate enrollments. Teacher education is a complicated field. It is difficult for us to advise our students. We need to be sure that the Counselor/Coordinator has adequate hours to conduct workshops and counsel students. “ What it looks like is that TEACh3 needs a babysitter, or almost a personal assistant, and without that, it’s going to be a mess. The regular counseling program is not equipped, nor was it designed to give the necessary time to just one program. Faculty Comments, cont. “The College should have done more to institutionalize the program once grant funding was prematurely eliminated; Counseling, marketing, recruitment for the first couple of years was excellent as the “one stop approach to these services (based on the complicated and ever-changing problematic state of teacher preparation in California) was designed to meet the needs of students and to facilitate meeting the goals of the program. Once outside funding was reduced and then eliminated, without an organized and realistic plan for institutionalization the program depended too much on the good will of faculty and personnel to keep the program going. Partnerships Refer to report for description of internal partnerships with other Coastline programs, and external partnerships Appendix: MOU’s Highlights: Coastline’s commitment to provide specialized counseling and distance learning courses of articulated courses on the TEACh3 grid CSULB’s commitment for preferred admissions to a highly impacted program Professional Development When funding was available: standardsbased workshops, TechEd conference, annual TRDP conference CTAP: certification Professional development through regular disciplines Teaching by Choice/ AACC, NSF Professional Development /faculty comments: “it would be great if coastline could find some professional development and other funds so that Coastline could be an official member of the National Association of Community College Teacher Education programs (NACCTE). The purpose of NACCTE is to promote the community college role in the recruitment, preparation, retention, and renewal of diverse pre k-12 teachers and to advance quality teacher education programs in the community college. Coastline already contributed lots to this field—especially in the area of distance education, but we have no professional identity as such, as there has been no funding to support this” Diversity (survey respondents) Gender: Female: 89%; Male: 10.98% Age: 18-30: 50%; 31-45: 30%; 46-60: 20% Database source: Age 24% 25% 21% 20% 18% 20% 15% 14% 10% 3% 5% 0% 0% Under 21 21-24 25-30 31-40 41-50 51-60 61-70 Ethnicity: White: 63%; Hispanic: 18%; Vietnamese and other Asian groups :11% Primary Language: English: 90%; Spanish: 7.3%; Diversity key component of education classes and is specifically addressed through expected student outcomes in education 200, 180, 104 • Identify critical components essential for building meaningful and sustaining, respectful partnerships with culturally and linguistically diverse families and communities (California Commission on Teacher Credentialing—CCTC--Standard 10a, 10b, 12f). • Analyze the historical, legal, social, political, economic, and multicultural perspectives on issues of educational equity and access for underrepresented groups in U.S. public schools as they relate to parent, school, and community partnerships (CCTC Standard 4b, 5, 10b, 11c, 12b, 12d, 13c, 14b). • Describe the challenges facing families of diverse backgrounds including immigrant families and families of children with disabilities, and identify methods to build on strengths (CCTC Standard 5a, 13h). • Demonstrate an understanding of successful means for involving parents from culturally diverse communities in the educative process (CSTP 1,3,6 ) • Express multiple perspectives and positions on a educational issues. variety of contemporary • Demonstrate an introductory understanding of educational issues related to teaching in diverse contemporary classrooms • Suggest strategies and resources needed to effectively address the diversity found in contemporary classrooms. • Express a multicultural and global perspective when interacting with course content. • Identify qualities of an effective teacher in diverse contemporary classrooms • Demonstrate an introductory understanding of educational issues related to teaching in diverse contemporary classrooms. • Compare and contrast strategies and resources needed to effectively address the diversity found in contemporary classrooms. Conclusions TEACh3 at Coastline was designed to proactively address the state of affairs as described under need section of this review. However, without someone to oversee teacher education and to fulfill the multifaceted roles required, the teacher education program at Coastline will have less than an optimal chance for continued success. The regular counseling program is not equipped, nor was it designed to give the necessary time to just one program. CCC is still a partner with OCC and GWC, operating under the MOU’s that are in effect-(CCC has taken no formal action to terminate them). Current year: OCC and GWC have both institutionalized: – OCC: 6 LHE release time per semester, coordination, counselors assigned to program, 12 hours clerical (TEACh3 + service learning) – GWC: similar arrangement: 2 counselors sharing coordinating duties Much of work connected to running TEACh3 is not dependent on the number of students: partner meetings, articulation work, updating course requirements etc. are not related to the number of students in a particular school. Coastline has adjusted to budget cutting and has shown remarkable flexibility in serving students, even with fewer hours. This has been accomplished though group counseling, e-counseling, electronic communication, and regularly scheduled workshops. With the current school year TEACh3 has reached a turning point, and some decisions need to be made. The “multiple hat” one stop model has been an effective way to maximize time and resources for coordinating and counseling. However, due to the extreme budget cutting, it is feared that TEACh3 at CCC will no longer be able to “think outside the box.” much less survive. In terms of assessing the amount of time required to fulfill the combined duties of coordinating (which involves articulation work, curriculum development and monitoring, partner meetings, tracking numbers, etc.) and counseling, and considering the constant change that characterizes teacher preparation programs, a prominent conclusion of this review is that the current allotted number of hours (1 l.h.e. coordination, 2 l.h.e. counseling) is inadequate and unrealistic. Recommendations: (1) Coastline College needs to make a decision regarding the future operation and appropriate funding for the TEACh3 program. (2) E-counseling/advising in TEACh3 should be reinstated, along with the development of a plan to count as hours worked the time spent counseling students electronically from onsite and remote locations throughout the week. (3) If the decision is made to continue the District Partnership in TEACh3 the college should consider options for program coordination. Recommendations: – OCC, in its Program Review, recommended that OCC create and fill a new faculty position for the education Program. – Assignment would include teaching one or more education courses and coordinating the program with faculty, counselors, students, and transfer institutions. – This may be something Coastline might consider either by working with OCC and GWC in developing a District position to be shared by the 3 campuses, or – A Coastline position where the assignment would combine both program advising and counseling, teaching, curriculum development, and coordination. – In the interim it is suggested that additional hours be allocated for specialized TEACh3 counseling and coordination and/or an Education Department Chair. Goals: Suggested 5-Year Program Goals: (1) Assure stability in the day-to-day coordination of TEACh3 at Coastline. (2) Pursue support for specialized counseling to lessen the burden on generalist counselors and to improve student service. (3) Establish a tracking system in conjunction with an online application so that the program staff can more easily identify and follow up with applicants and continuing students. (4) Complete the matrix of student learning outcomes for courses and the program. Thanks!! Questions? E-mail: [email protected]
