Overview
Is your developmental education program truly "working"? What happens to the program when the pilot ends and/or the grant runs out? How much does your program really cost? Should you scale up your program? Join us to learn the answers to these questions and more.
This action-packed session will teach participants how to truly assess their programs and determine if the success of the program is instructor-specific, which aspects of the program are the keys, and how to maintain successful programs when the program is scaled up. Participants will learn not only why but also how they need to assess their developmental education programs, including how to adjust for individual variables, such as self-selected students, only using "star" faculty and counselors, and various specific program components.
This session will also demonstrate how to calculate the true cost of the program, which may be much lower than previously thought or even turn a profit! Participants will learn their next steps in determining if, how and when to scale up programs, especially when no additional funds are available to support the program. The professional development needs and political process involved in scaling from a boutique program to a full department or campus wide program will also be discussed.
