Teachers respond positively

94% of math teachers and 99% of ELA teachers agreed or strongly agreed that the course made their students more college ready.100% of ELA teachers agreed or strongly agreed that the course provided sufficient opportunities for students to develop the ability to read closely and delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text.98% of Math and 97% of ELA teachers agreed or strongly agreed that they received the support they needed to teach the course.Bridge to College Survey, June 2017Ready Washington Video, What Is Bridge to College, June 2017

Student response and success is strong

The number of students responding to a survey who did not feel prepared for college at the beginning of the course, dropped from 47% to 3%.

Slide6

“I would recommend this class to other students because from my experience, there were real life lessons that I learned and could really apply to many other aspects of my life. Through the readings and assignments I became a critical thinker and was able to analyze texts that I initially felt were too challenging at first.”“It takes what I think are the best parts of math, understanding how we can apply it to the real world and how you can use it outside of school.”

The Legislature is supportive

ESHB 2224: High school transition courses and the assessments offered in association with high school transition courses shall be considered an approved locally determined course and assessment for demonstrating that the student met or exceeded the high school graduation standard.

Slide12

The Bridge Course Answers “The Call”

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures remedial education is widespread (2015). What is remedial education? It is defined by the classes that are taken on college campuses that are below college-level. Students still pay tuition and can use financial aid for these courses, but they do not earn college credit.

12

The basic college readiness challenge in Washington is Too many students place into precollege courses at college entry Too few of those students succeed in completing college-level coursework

12

Slide13

Statewide, OSPI Data Analytics show that 32.9% of Washington high school students were placed in remedial math or English classes in Washington colleges.

Slide14

Higher Education Placement Agreement

14

The agreement has been endorsed by all 34 Washington community and technical colleges.The agreements offer high school students the opportunity to use their scores on the high school Smarter Balanced assessment to establish their readiness for college-level coursework when entering higher education institutions in Washington.Over time the goal is to increase the number of students enrolling directly into college courses without remediation by:offering students an early opportunity to know whether they are ready for college-level academic work through reflective practice in the course; providing an incentive for achieving the Common Core standards as reflected in the Smarter Balanced assessment; and creating alternatives for students, if necessary, to use their senior year more effectively in getting ready for college-level work.

Slide17

Bridge to College Mathematics

Addresses key standards in Common Core to prepare students for success in non-calculus pathway college math classes Embeds explicit emphasis in Standards for Mathematical Practices throughout the course Built with rigor, innovative instructional strategies, and a concentration on contextual learning that departs from procedural memorization and focuses on engaging the students in real world contexts.

Slide18

Principles to Action (NCTM) & High Leverage Teaching Practices

Teachers….. Establish mathematical goals to focus learning Implement tasks that promote reasoning and problem solving Use & connect mathematical representations Facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse Pose purposeful questions Build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding Support productive struggle in learning mathematics Elicit and use evidence of student thinking

Outcomes, Principles, and Course Content

Slide20

Course Outcomes:

Washington Literacy Learning Standards Rhetorical writing with emphasis on audience, purpose, and situation Development of inquiry questions Emphasis on critical thinking in development of text based argument

20

20

Slide21

Course Outcomes: Habits of Mind

They become self-directed learners who can engage in academic tasks independently. They demonstrate “grit” and persistence during academic tasks. They demonstrate metacognitive awareness. They respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline. They comprehend and critique.

21

Slide22

Course Principles

Student-centered in design and implementation Habits of Mind are integral to college and career success Course outcomes emphasize college and career readiness Teacher is the professional in the room Fidelity (Integrity)to the essential characteristics of the course design (the module template or instructional process) Use of agreed upon summative assessments to determine student progress

22

Slide23

Course modules

Complete a minimum of 6 modules over the course of the year Teacher choice of modules and choice of strategies within the modules Move from reading rhetorically to developing own thinking to writing rhetorically (module “template”) Contemporary issues using nonfiction and literary texts Modules from a variety of sources, but many are locally developed by Washington educators within the last year Emphasis on regional and local issues and high student engagement

Slide24

2018-19 Plans for Courses

Develop strategies to sustain the professional learning and delivery model statewide Placement agreement is continuing based on adherence to course principles and curriculum Students earn the agreement to enter credit-bearing math or ELA standards at Washington community and technical colleges and Eastern Washington University. Math students who earned a 2 on the SBA and earn a B in the class ELA students who earn a B in the class
