Identify Task:

Establish Direction: Our Roadmap

3 Outcomes
1) Faculty representing at least three disciplines will implement one to two RA routines regularly in their classes. 2) Use assessment tools to measure effectiveness of RA 3) Sustain use of RA concepts in the classroom (and beyond) once introduced

BSILI 2012 Reading Apprenticeship Logic Model

Progress - 1st Outcome

Faculty representing at least three disciplines will implement one to two RA routines regularly in their classes.

A) Refined existing survey to assess faculty perspectives on students reading needs and practices B) Distributed survey via
i) BSILI CoP School Contacts ii) Vice Presidents of Instruction

Progress Survey Results

23 Colleges 319 Respondents Do you have strategies you use to help students with these challenges that you would be willing to share?

196 have strategies 118 do not have strategies

98% of respondents indicated that reading was either very important or relatively important to passing their classes.

Progress 2nd Outcome

Use assessment tools to measure effectiveness of RA

A) Curriculum Embedded Reading Assessment Tool
Pre and post discipline-based reading assessment

Progress 3rd Outcome

Sustain use of RA concepts in the classroom (and beyond)

A) Building RA Teams across campus B) Embed in New Faculty Trainings C) Embed in Campus-wide and Districtwide professional development opportunities

Progress 3rd Outcome Continued

Sustain use of RA concepts in the classroom (and beyond)

D) Developing tutor training programs E) Tutors use RA with students during
study table time (Pilot)

F) Using survey to identify and contact faculty interested in RA efforts and potential next steps for campus-specific efforts

Activities Progress from Logic Model

DEVELOPING
Administer reading survey and recruit faculty from at least three disciplines. Train faculty via FLEX workshops, brown bag lunches, e-mail, and other tools. Establish cloudhosting tool to share RA materials across campuses. Create assessment tools (CERA, cohort tracking tool, reading perception surveys). Create strategies for sustaining RA use, such as Faculty Inquiry Groups (FIGs).

Supporting larger CoP

Survey generates greater awareness Logic model development

Revealed range of involvement, both individually and per campus Revealed the possible rather than the improbable

Supporting larger CoP cont.

Helps connect people statewide for deeper collaboration:

Example: Yuba, Sac City, Pierce, and LA Mission working on similar RA initiatives Learn from RA efforts at other campuses Helps CoP participants set realistic goals

Facilitates faculty-faculty coaching
