Opening
Remarks
- Andrea Barnett opened the meeting for discussion on the timeline to implement Multiple Measures. Per Galen as there is no State mandate to implement at this time, Tri-County Tech wants to be proactive and not wait on the State to mandate.
- Angel Luper was asked by Andrea to be a member of the Multiples Measures Task Force.
- Andrea stated that she and K.C. Bryson are co-chairing this committee.
- K.C. presented for discussion a Multiple Measures Phase-In option over a three-year period beginning with Fall 2018. Attached are the two handouts used in the presentation. Limited discussion followed, but no decision was made.
- K.C. asked the question—are we placing student by course ready or program ready? Keri replied for the Arts and Sciences Division, it has to be course ready.
- Jenni asked if it is Program Ready if you meet the prerequisites for math and English?
- Galen posed the following questions for the group—
- Are math and English the two pre-requisites that are the indicators of program ready?
- The placement test tells you what courses you place in for math and English only?
- English and math placement tests tell you the myriad of classes you may be placed?
- Use Accuplacer for what it was designed?
- Jenni suggested we use Program Ready using Multiples Measures individually for each program. The next generation of Accuplacer will roll out in January 2019. We need to decide a date that we are going to start using the new Accuplacer. No decision was made.
- Other discussion points—
- Phase in MM over three years
- Flag a 3.0 GPA unweighted for placement of student and consider the student college ready. Do we want to review courses taken that rendered a 3.0 GPA?
- Does the Phase approach preclude Course Ready or Program Ready?
- Placement scores are not predictor of success, but unweighted GPA is more accurate for placement.
- Andrea will schedule a meeting with Galen and Jenni to decide the philosophy of the Multiple Measures Committee.
There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned.
