Fig Application

This document summarizes a FIG (Focused Inquiry Group) investigating core issues in basic skills education at Chabot College. The FIG will examine how the Reading Apprenticeship model impacts student outcomes, retention, engagement, and self-efficacy. Data will be collected through institutional research, surveys, assessments, and evaluating student work. The FIG currently involves faculty from English and other disciplines. Plans are outlined to expand training to more faculty and tutors over multiple semesters, with the goal of professional development in Reading Apprenticeship becoming institutionalized. Projected costs include attendance at training conferences.
