What did we discover?Valencia’s performance gaps:
Between college-ready & underprepared
Between math & other disciplines
Across racial and ethnic groups
Gap 1: Progression and Completion rates are lower for under prepared students (Fall 2000)

Valencia’s challengeis in moving from
Level II to Level III.
What approaches did we choose?
Strategies that are effective, ripe, scalable:

Supplemental Learning (SL)Course SuccessIn each comparison, Fall, Spring and Summer:
Success (A, B, or C) was higher for SL sections
Unsuccess (D, F, or WF) and Withdrawal (W, or WP) were lower for SL sections
Fall Success rates were significantly different for SL sections (*p<.10) for all ethnicities (N = 65 Instructors, N = 5157 students)
African American students
All courses: 10.36% higher (p=0.029) Developmental: 8.53% higher (*p=0.167) Gateway: 15.65% higher (p=0.019)
Hispanic students
All courses: 7.07% higher (p=0.007) Developmental: 7.59% higher (p=0.025) Gateway: 6.65% higher (p=0.099)
*With one exception.
Learning in Community (LinC) Research Report
Students who enrolled in LinC courses successfully completed the courses at higher rates than students in the same courses that were not LinC’d (10.4%)
This effect was even greater for Hispanic (11.9%) and African-American (11.6%) students
The greatest effect was in math courses, particularly developmental courses
Student Success Course Mandate Research Summary
Fall to Spring persistence increased, particularly for Hispanic and African American students
Fall to Fall persistence did not increase, except for Hispanic students
Course success rates increased for Hispanic and African American students
College-wide, Longitudinal Data!
1. Progression Through College at Benchmarks for Fall FTIC
