This document discusses an alert system used at Frederick Community College to engage students struggling in their courses. The SOAR coordinator oversees the alert system and provides interventions. Some faculty concerns include whether alerts make a difference and the time required. Sending alerts instead of emails ensures students receive messages, and the alerts provide information to advisors and other departments. Common reasons for student struggles include workload underestimation, employment, and mental health issues. Data on the system's effectiveness is needed to convince administrators and faculty of its value.

This document summarizes the strategies and programs implemented at Adlai E. Stevenson High School to provide targeted academic and social-emotional support to students who are struggling or not meeting learning outcomes. It outlines various intervention programs offered, such as guided study, mentor skills curriculum, targeted tutoring, and homework help. It also discusses entry and exit criteria for determining student participation and measuring the success of interventions. The goal is to identify students in need of support as early as possible and provide the right type and level of help to ensure academic success for all.
Responding when students don't learn
This presentation provides a snapshot of my work as Director of Student Learning Programs at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. In this role, I oversee the development and coordination of multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and Response to Intervention (RtI) programs for our students. This works includes collaborating with district leadership team in supporting the creation and implementation of tiered levels of academic interventions, and evaluating the effectiveness and efficiencies of student learning programs through a continuous improvement cycle.

The document discusses holistic assessment and its application to improve student success. It begins by outlining degree attainment rates which show that a significant portion of students, particularly underserved populations, do not complete a degree. It then discusses how holistic assessments that measure noncognitive skills can provide a more comprehensive understanding of students and help target support. The document presents the SuccessNavigator assessment as a tool that measures both cognitive and noncognitive skills to help with placement, advising, and planning support services. It provides an example of how the assessment could be used to recommend support services to a student and accelerate course placement when appropriate.
Delaware County LWV Standardized testing Forum
Standardized testing places a significant burden on students and teachers in Muncie Community Schools. Students must take numerous standardized tests each year, totaling hundreds of minutes of testing time, which increases test anxiety. This extensive testing has shifted the curriculum focus to test preparation and reduced time for subjects like science, social studies, arts, and electives. Teachers feel pressure to narrow their teaching to only the content covered on the high-stakes tests. An effective assessment system would evaluate student growth over time using multiple measures and provide timely feedback to guide instruction.

Presented by Dan Thompson, Manager of Instructional Design and Educational Technology, Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences
ExamSoft has long been the go-to platform for educators looking for a secure testing environment and assessment reporting tool. But what about the need to increase communication among faculty, staff, administration, students, and even parents? With so many individuals (and moving parts) involved in the teaching and learning process, the ability to quickly and accurately communicate exam information is paramount to student success. ExamSoft can be used as a secure form of mass communication to get the necessary information to the appropriate people to support student learning as it as happening, not after it is too late. This presentation illustrates how to create an environment in ExamSoft that allows for the constant and instantaneous flow of student assessment performance data within an institution and at home. With this process, immediate positive reinforcement and/or remediation can be implemented to create a proactive learning atmosphere for students that will ultimately lead to improved outcomes.
Big Data in the Online Classroom
Online classrooms are de facto rich data gathering platforms. Educators can collect this data and use it to improve student outcomes through predictive analytics.
Keys to success
The document discusses the keys to college success. It notes that there are significant differences between high school and college in terms of workload, class structure, and level of independence required. While many students think they just need to attend class, study, take notes, and balance their schedule to succeed, the document emphasizes that taking control of your education, attending every class, putting in extensive work including tutoring, and connecting with instructors and other students are even more important for success. College requires resilience and a plan to overcome challenges, but achieving a college degree is attainable with the right strategies.

Learning analytics is a 'hot topic' in education with many institutions seeking to make better use of the data available via various systems. One of the key challenges in this process is to understand the business questions that people working in various roles in institutions would like to be able to answer. However, it is also important that these questions are appropriately structured and specific in order to gather the relevant data. This session builds on the workshop run at last year's Blackboard Learning and Teaching conference where participants explored business questions and use cases for learning analytics from a range of perspectives.

From Grades to Feedback
This document provides an overview of formative assessment practices from Peter Jory, the Director of Instruction in School District No. 48. It discusses moving away from traditional grading towards a formative assessment approach with clear learning intentions, co-created success criteria, descriptive feedback, powerful questioning, and student ownership of learning. The research shows that formative feedback has a strong positive effect on student learning compared to grades. The document provides examples of what formative assessment could look like in the classroom, including more feedback opportunities, practice assignments without grades, and competency-based reporting instead of letter grades. Roadblocks like increased workload are addressed, and resources for further information are provided.
From Grades to Feedback
This document discusses moving from traditional grading practices to a formative assessment approach focused on feedback. It outlines six key formative assessment practices including clear learning intentions, co-created success criteria, descriptive feedback, powerful questioning, self and peer assessment, and student ownership. The research shows traditional grading does not motivate learning and students want more feedback to improve. The document provides examples of how to increase feedback in the classroom and embrace a fully formative approach where achievement starts at meeting criteria through feedback rather than averaging grades. It also addresses handling late and missing assignments formatively rather than punitively.

Education 2 - Promising areas and interesting puzzles
This document summarizes an presentation on promising and interesting interventions in education. Some key points:
1) Parental interventions like engagement seminars and regular messages to parents about students' performance have shown benefits like improved parental engagement and student outcomes.
2) Focusing on student identity, things like highlighting high-achieving peers can backfire by lowering other students' performance due to social pressures, while emphasizing similarities between students and teachers can improve outcomes.
3) Removing small barriers like fees or assisting with complex processes, and providing school counseling, can significantly increase college enrollment especially for low-SES students by substituting for lack of parental assistance. However, just informing students of education returns generally does not change

This document discusses using technology in math courses to enhance student learning and engagement. It describes the instructor's experience teaching an online geometry course over three semesters. Key findings include that requiring students to use virtual whiteboards and participate more in class led to increased student questions and involvement. Feedback from students was positive, particularly appreciating encouragement over simply being told answers were wrong. Looking ahead, the instructor plans to continue using whiteboards and clarify participation expectations for a larger online class in the spring. Effective technology use in math can foster active engagement while keeping mathematics as the primary focus.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for faculty teaching online with little preparation or knowledge of online teaching. Faculty have had to quickly adapt their teaching methods to the online environment while also addressing students' basic needs, which may be unmet due to the pandemic. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, students must have their basic physiological and safety needs met before they can focus on learning. The challenges for faculty include engaging students online, assessing their level of participation, and being sensitive to issues in students' home lives. Faculty are working to connect with students, acknowledge the effects of the pandemic, and promote assistance for basic needs, while realigning their teaching to the online environment.

This document describes the creation of a virtual 3-credit honors independent study course at Frederick Community College. Two STEM honors students, Gabrielle and Alan, pursued independent lab projects under the direction of chemistry faculty. Gabrielle explored astronomy technologies through two PowerPoint presentations on adaptive optics and the Milky Way formation. Alan studied undersea robotics, creating presentations on the history of ROVs and their use in sampling corals. Both students gained experience in literature research, presentation skills, and became familiar with laboratory instruments during remote learning. The course allowed the students to explore fields of interest and achieve honors learning outcomes through virtual group discussions and presentations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for faculty teaching online with little preparation or knowledge of online teaching. Faculty have had to quickly adapt their teaching methods to the online environment while also addressing students' basic needs, which may be unmet due to the pandemic. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, students must have their basic physiological and safety needs met before they can focus on learning. The challenges of engaging students online and assessing their engagement without cameras can also impact their sense of belonging and esteem. While faculty cannot meet students' basic needs, acknowledging these challenges and connecting with students can help address their needs and improve online learning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Engaging Students with a Success Alert System.pptx
- 1. ENGAGING STUDENTS WITH A SUCCESS ALERT SYSTEM DR. DARRIN BERKLEY MATHEMATICS SUCCESS, OUTREACH, AND RETENTION (SOAR) COORDINATOR FREDERICK COMMUNITY COLLEGE
- 2. SOAR COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITIES • Administrator (12 months) role at FCC • Teaching of Courses (commonly those with the most alerts) • Advising during peak registration periods • Statistical analysis on course success and efficacy of success alerts • Creation of required interventions for three-peaters in mathematics • Share and analyze student issues with faculty, administration, and staff
- 3. WHAT ARE SOME FACULTY CONCERNS REGARDING A STUDENT ALERT SYSTEM? • No evidence that success alerts make a difference • The language of the alerts are disingenuous • Time consuming when many alerts must be sent • Sending an email address most student concerns • It is not the responsibility of the instructor to send alerts
- 4. WHY SEND A SUCCESS ALERT INSTEAD OF EMAILING THE STUDENT? • Students don’t check their college email • Students don’t know how to access their email (especially Dual Enrollment student) • Patterns of being unsuccessful in multiple classes • Useful for advisors when talking with students about classes • Informs other departments of the college of potential issues • Information can be determined as to whether the reason for lack of success is academic or non- academic • Students aren’t necessarily comfortable responding directly to their instructor
- 5. LET’S ENGAGE! THE INTERVENTION • Student was not aware that the course started • Underestimation of workload • Employed for too many hours • Unaware of different tutoring modalities • Miscommunication of expectations between instructor and student • Assignments submitted incorrectly • Cannot find assignments or was unaware of assignments
- 6. LET’S ENGAGE! THE INTERVENTION • Sickness/Grief • Mental Health/Depression • Transportation • Lack of motivation (parental pressure/course not needed) • Lack of motivation (lack of interest in attending college or the course itself) • Technological Issues • Financial Aid • Fear/Giving Up • Childcare
- 7. DOES IT WORK? Do you believe that a success system works in general?
- 8. DOES IT WORK? Who is responsible for engaging with students if your school uses a success alert system?
- 9. DOES IT WORK? What type of data most convinces administration and faculty that a success alert system is effective?
- 10. STUDENT RESPONSE (MENTAL HEALTH) I do not want to talk right now. I'm extremely depressed and I don't wanna talk to anyone. Please respect my wishes x
