Middlesex Community College 2 0 1 0 ‐ 2 0 1 1 F a c t B o o k Strategic Plan 2 2011-14 Strategic Plan: You’re Voice, Your Experience, Our Success The Planning Process Acutely aware that forward thinking and positive change make an institution stronger, Middlesex Community College began looking to the future by launching a yearlong, broad-based campaign to create its 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. Titled Your Voice, Your Experience, Our Success, this Strategic Plan was formulated with the help of a Strategic Planning Committee, comprised of faculty and staff. The college elected to use the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process, an ongoing, continuous study of what gives life to an organization. By employing the basic premise of AI --- which is, “whatever we focus our attention on, we will create more of” --the Strategic Planning Committee set out to identify and build on MCC’s existing strengths. Throughout the fall, more than 350 students, staff, faculty and external partners attended a series of Strategic Planning Summits to talk about the five key priority areas of the college: Student Success, Assessment, Workforce Development, Diversity in the Workplace, and Fiscal Stability. The Strategic Planning Committee used the information collected at these summits to create a draft strategic plan, reviewed the draft plan with more than 200 members of the college community through a series of Strategic Planning Comment Sessions, and incorporated the feedback to refine the plan. MCC’s Strategic Plan 2011-2014 is the result of this broad-based input and information, and reflects the voices of the many people who participated in the Strategic Planning process. It’s a plan that will enable Middlesex to continue to serve our rich and vibrant community, as well as to meet the new and exciting challenges of the future. The plan includes a set of Guiding Principles, Values, Strategic Directions and a set of Accountability Measures Guiding Principles To advance excellence and student success, we will: • Invest time, effort, and resources • Champion the power of diversity • Collaborate about substantive matters and strategic directions • Act on frequent feedback • Reflect and integrate learning • Make explicit connections between educational practices and the world around us Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Strategic Plan 3 2011-14 Strategic Plan: You’re Voice, Your Experience, Our Success Institutional Values Middlesex Community College is a progressive and dynamic learning community, committed to providing educational programs and services that support personal growth and economic opportunity for its diverse student population.

The project focuses on Reformed Curriculum and Comprehensive Advising. Reformed Curriculum involves the design of developmental and college-level Gateway courses and learning communities embedded with Core Student Success Skills related to critical thinking, communication, collaboration, organization, and self-assessment. Comprehensive Advising involves the design of integrated advising services to include identification of academic and career goals, creation of realistic Educational Plans, and continuous tracking and intervention with an emphasis on the Core Student Success Skills. The Title III grant provides nearly two million dollars over five years to support project initiatives, including the purchase of advising software programs (Degree Works, Acalog, and Early Alert); faculty and staff professional development and stipends for course redesign and piloting; and the hiring of key staff. Funding will support a Coordinator of Academic Advising, two 30 hour per week advisors, a full-time Learning Engagement Specialist, and a full-time Pedagogical Instructional Designer. Significant accomplishments to date include the following: • Faculty redesigned and created Resource Guides for thirty-four courses. The guides include many lesson plans that embed the Core Student Success Skills identified in the grant and are given to all new faculty teaching these courses. • The Acalog on-line Academic Catalog has been fully implemented and is accessible from the college homepage. • The SARS ALRT system was implemented and piloted. Developmental advisors successfully connected with 80% of the students issued an academic alert by an MCC faculty member. • Degree Works, an on-line degree auditing and educational planning tool, has been successfully implemented and pilot tested. All professional and faculty advisors have completed DegreeWorks training and are now using it in their advising meetings. DegreeWorks is now fully functional for all degree and certificate programs. An advising syllabus has been designed and adopted that outlines the student and advisor responsibilities and advising resources. • Customized advising materials that emphasize career and transfer options have been developed for all Business and Liberal Studies and Liberal Arts and Sciences programs. • A successful three-day Summer Institute was offered in 2010 and 2011 to orient faculty and staff working on curriculum and advising design teams to the objectives and goals of the grant. Participants were also provided training in the new advising resources and the concept of developmental advising. Faculty who teach Explorations courses were also given the opportunity to learn more about ways that they can use the Resource Guides and Advising tools in their classes. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Student Success 7 Association of American Colleges and Universities Roadmap Project Middlesex Community College was chosen by the Association of American Colleges and Universities in 2010 to join a select group of twelve community colleges as part of the Roadmap Project. These twelve colleges are expected to become national models in the support of community college student success. Collectively, these leadership institutions are working to take what are often isolated and independent student success efforts and create an integrated roadmap to support both student persistence and higher levels of academic achievement. The following are the partner community colleges in the AAC&U Roadmap project. • Eugenio María de Hostos Community College (CUNY) (New York, New York) • Gainesville State College (Oakwood, Georgia) • Georgia Perimeter College (Decatur, Georgia) • Lane Community College (Eugene, Oregon) • Miami Dade College (Miami, Florida) • Middlesex Community College (Bedford, Massachusetts) • Mt. San Antonio College (Walnut, Los Angeles County, California) • Northern Virginia Community College (Annandale, Virginia) • Prince George's Community College (Largo, Maryland) • Queensborough Community College (CUNY) (New York, New York) • Salt Lake Community College (Salt Lake City, Utah) • Tidewater Community College (Norfolk, Virginia) Middlesex Community College elected to focus our Roadmap project on extending the work begun in 2008 with our Title III: Strengthening Institutions Strategies for Success grant by connecting it to the college’s recent General Education revision work and our ongoing work in the assessment of Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs). A team of faculty, staff, administration and a (former) MCC student attended an AAC&U Summer Institute for Roadmap institutions to design a plan to support entering student success through a linked set of unavoidable curricular and co-curricular activities designed to ensure student awareness of the college’s institutional student learning outcomes and support networks.

Middlesex Community Colllege M 2010-2011 Fact Book Assessment 9 Program Review In addition to our institutional-level assessment, our programs and departments, both academic and cocurricular, participate in a program review and assessment process. Programs and departments conduct selfstudies every 5-7 years, in conjunction with external accreditation processes and utilizing external consultants as appropriate. In addition to these cyclical self studies, all academic and most co-curricular programs and departments engage in annual assessment of their own goals for student learning and achievement. These findings are used to inform improvement of student learning within the program, and help to ensure that all MCC graduates have developed the discipline-specific and interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, abilities, and ways of thinking that will be necessary in their further higher education and careers. MCC instituted the program review process in 1998, and since then, 53 academic programs, departments and support areas have completed at least one review, as have 4 Student Affairs programs. In 2006, a student learning outcome assessment component was added to all academic and many co-curricular programs’ review process. This assessment component required that programs and departments review and revise as necessary their program goals for student learning, and then assess those goals, one (or more) per year, to determine the degree to which students are achieving the goals we have established for their learning. These goals have always been aligned to appropriate professional standards, and are now in the process of being aligned with learning goals for the baccalaureate degree from many of our four-year transfer institutions. A final step in the assessment process is the development and implementation of a plan for improvement, which is reassessed for impact within a cycle of time. In 2010-11 a program review template was designed for all Enrollment Services departments. This process will be piloted in the 2011-12 academic year. Copies of program reviews and review templates are available at http://www.middlesex.mass.edu/programreview/.

The RAMP-UP initiative (Review, Achieve, Master, and Progress) began as a pilot in spring 2011 and is continuing its move to full implementation during the 2011-2012 academic year. The program provides technology mediated instruction using My Math Lab. The approach is based on a nationally recognized model that has demonstrated success in both twoyear and four-year institutions. RAMP-UP Math utilizes a mastery based approach. The 12 modules that students complete are equivalent to the former developmental math sequence. This sequence was made up of 3 levels of developmental mathematics (Fundamentals of Math, Algebra I, and Algebra II). In RAMP-UP Math, students are required to complete a minimum of 4 modules with a C or better to complete each of the three levels. Students are required to pass particular modules in order to move through the various levels of mathematics. Students can complete all 12 modules in one semester and be ready for a college-level course. The pilot in spring 2011 included only students who placed into the lowest level, Fundamentals of Mathematics. There were 12 faculty involved in the pilot plus 10 support staff/tutors and 429 students. For fall 2011, all students testing below Algebra II level, i.e. < 56 on the CPT were placed in RAMP UP math. We anticipate the participation of approximately 1700 students in the second phase. The pass rate for the pilot was 57% with 243 students out of 429 passing a minimum of 4 modules. 64 students withdrew. Specific module completion rates are listed below: Passing Failing Modules completed # of students successfully completing 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 8 2 3 4 16 34 22 61 93 16 15 52 39 Implementing a curriculum redesign initiative such as RAMP-up required cross institution collaboration. Faculty, staff, and administration worked collaboratively to gain new perspectives on teaching and learning, to integrate technology, rethink student support, and to redesign the learning environment. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Academic Programs 13 The Academy of Health Professions The Academy of Health Professions (AHP) was established in 2010 with funding from the Commonwealth Corporation. The AHP provides an innovative post-secondary career pathway for entry-level health careers in: • • • • Nursing Assistant Medical Reception Medical Secretary Phlebotomy. The Academy of Health Professions provides a non-traditional delivery model that allows students to receive the intensive, comprehensive, content-integrated training necessary for entry-level health positions within a shorter time frame. The model also promotes and supports viable options for students to continue on a career path to higher level health careers. Classes are offered on evenings and weekends over 9 week sessions. Students may enter at any level of the program based on meeting entry criteria, complete a certificate in approximately 30 weeks, and enter the workforce or continue studies with the potential to earn an associate degree. The Academy of Health Professions provides off-site clinical and laboratory experiences and externships to students where they are introduced to best practices as they prepare to enter the workplace. Collaboration is the key to the success of the Academy of Health Professions programs. The college collaborates with the Metro North Regional Employment Board and the Greater Lowell Workforce Investment Board as well with career centers in Lowell and Woburn to provide education and training. In addition, the AHP Advisory Board, consisting of employer partners, MCC staff across all departments and divisions, career center staff, community based organizational staff, and our Steering Committee, made up of upper level college administration, contribute to curriculum and program design as well as the strategies used to implement programs across the campus and divisions. Further, our employer partners provide internship experiences for the AHP students. Since inception there have been three cohorts that have completed the Level 1 certificates. The graduation rate was 47%, 88 students were admitted and 27 students completed the nursing assistant certificate, while 14 students completed the medical reception certificate. In addition, there were two cohorts that have completed the Level 2 certificate. The graduation rate was 92%, 38 admitted students and 33 graduates. Five students graduated with a certificate in Medical Secretary, while 28 completed a certificate in Phlebotomy.

An international perspective is specifically noted in our college’s Strategic Plan as well as infused in the curriculum through the Multicultural and Global Awareness Intensive Value requirements imbedded in the General Education Core Curriculum. This requirement applies to every MCC student’s program of study. More than 170 different Middlesex courses in all disciplines foster an ability to appreciate and analyze historical or contemporary experiences of diversity in the United States and the world. These Core Curriculum requirements promote an understanding of the varied experiences and perspectives that exist within, or across, cultural boundaries -- as well as an understanding of the nature of social inequality. The International Student and Multicultural Office promotes the enrollment, retention, and successful completion of educational programs for international and minority students. The Center fosters a college climate that embraces and develops cross cultural awareness, personal growth, and a deeper sense of the benefits of a pluralistic society. And, since Middlesex Community College is committed to educating students about global issues and broadening student perspectives of the world community, International Education Fellowships are available for MCC students to visit a country and study its history and culture. Since 1992, Middlesex has offered fellowships to China, Russia, Costa Rica, Spain, Ireland, Europe, Brazil, and Belize. Middlesex Community College was the first regional center in the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP) out of the East-West Center, and working in close connection with ASDP for the past 20 years, over 70 MCC faculty have organized and participated in national conferences, symposiums, and workshops on Asia, specifically China, Japan, India, Cambodia, and Malaysia. For it is through such activities that instructors bring new and diverse perspectives into their scholarship, curriculum development, teaching, and leadership. Our web site is: www.middlesex.mass.edu/asdp Past programs of workshops and conferences are available on the site. The college is presently part of a nationwide multi-year ASDP Title VI UISFL Chinese Language and Culture Program grant, Enhancing Undergraduate Chinese Language and Culture Studies: Integrating Faculty and Curriculum Development. Drawing primarily on the disciplines of philosophy, religion, art, and literature, the grant provides a basis for each college to design core courses in Chinese culture as well as develop significant course content in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In conjunction with the grant, the process is underway to approve a Liberal Arts and Sciences Global Studies Concentration with an Asian Studies Option. Middlesex has also joined with ASDP as one of 5 national regional centers in a multi-year NEH proposal Thinking Through Cultural Diversity: Bridging Cultural Differences in Asian Traditions, where faculty will focus on deepening our China and South East Asia offerings. Bristol and Quinsigamond Community Colleges have agreed to join Middlesex’s NEH cohort which will address how Asian cultures and societies have conceived and practically engaged issues of civility and cultural difference. Local initiatives with a focus on our college’s close connection with the Cambodia community include the partnership of Middlesex, the Lowell Public School, and the National Parks in a Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Academic Programs 18 commitment to build a smokeless wood burning brick kiln on Aiken Street. This project, which joins the Fine Arts Pathway and the Fulbright Hayes Cambodian educational continuum, is centrally important in advancing efforts to keep vibrant and continue the art of Khmer ceramics. Lowell resident, Yary Livan, is one of only four master ceramists to survive the Pol Pot Genocide, and one of only two still active. The kiln will enable Yary to pass on his skills to a younger generation as well as to engage the Lowell Cambodian community. Through MCC Foundation support, two students were selected to travel to Cambodia as part of the Habitat for Humanity Khmer Harvest. The students will join Greater Lowell Habitat for Humanity and volunteers from across the world on the Khmer Harvest Build to build homes and a sustainable farm. As a result of a Fulbright Grant to Cambodia, a fund-raising campaign Strings for Cambodia was developed to support Cambodia’s Royal University of Fine Arts’ dream to launch a National Symphony Orchestra .The goal of $50,000 will cover the cost of high quality, carbon-fiber classical string instruments – violins, violas and cellos – to form the core of the symphony’s string section and to be used for teaching purposes at the university. Through these and other initiatives, we at Middlesex are strongly committed to the view that sharing languages, philosophies, histories, literatures, and arts of different peoples is the most profound basis for building bridges and creating respect and civility among cultures.

For this reason, student development is a priority at Middlesex. Opportunities abound for personal growth including programs and services focusing on leadership, engagement, community service, and wellness. Middlesex is home to over 25 clubs and organizations that are student led and fall into one of five categories: Leader-centered, Recreational, Multicultural, Academic, or General Interest. Several hundred students participate by planning and implementing programs and thousands more attend and enjoy them. Some of the most popular activities have included an annual Battle of the Bands, MCC’s Got Talent, International Passport programs, pizza parties, ice cream socials, and even a Halloween ghost-hunter! Recreation events such as overnight ski trips, weekly bowling, and ping pong tournaments offer a desired social outlet for many students. These types of programs increase the sense of community feel and create lasting friendships – both of which ultimately help foster student success. Health and wellness are important components of a well-rounded education and MCC strives to offer multiple opportunities for hands-on participation. Athletics, health and wellness are integrated into the co-curriculum in ways that appeal to everyone. For students looking for traditional athletics, Middlesex offers over 20 intramural sports, inter-collegiate competition, and club activity such as bowling and martial arts. Fitness opportunities are free or low-cost and include a fitness center and studio on the Bedford campus and a unique partnership with the University of Massachusetts at Lowell’s state-of-the art recreation center. For students searching for an alternative healthy activity, restoration of the beautiful fit-trail on the Bedford campus was completed in 2009. Additionally, pick-up games occur regularly on the new MCC foundation supported basketball court and zumba and other fitness classes are offered regularly during the year. Each year the College begins and ends the academic year with book-end celebratory events on alternating campuses. In the fall, the Block Party in Bedford attracts students, faculty, and staff with its free music, food, events, and prizes. Spring Fling in Lowell is the same on the last day of classes. Over 1000 students, faculty, and staff enjoy these traditions and feel great pride in the college community. Leadership development occurs through a variety of experiences. Middlesex offers traditional training programs in an Emerging and Junior level format that is inclusive of retreats, personal coaching, and interactive presentations. All students are encouraged to enroll in these to improve skills, identify personal values, and set goals. In addition to classroom-based trainings and workshops, student involvement in structured activities offers transformative learning outside the classroom. Twenty students were selected to participate in the 2011 Alternative Spring Break Program in New Orleans. The intense weeklong experience was life-changing for the participants who joined other colleges volunteering to help with the devastation still felt from Hurricane Katrina. Simultaneously, the same number of students worked closer to home through Habitat for Humanity, building a needed home in the Bedford community. The student voice is an integral part of College decision making. The Student Union Government Association is an elected board of 16 officers and unlimited members who participate on College-wide committees, oversee clubs and organizations, lobby for student Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Student Engagement 21 rights, and represent their peers at multiple functions and meetings. Elections occur every September. For the 2011-2012 academic year, students can apply for one or more of 15 student leader/peer mentor positions including Orientation Leader, Fitness Assistant, Peer Counselors and Advisors, Teaching Assistants, Tutors and more. These students undergo extensive training to play important roles alongside faculty and staff. Students who get involved in co-curricular activities have better grades and a more satisfying college experience. In addition, they build extensive resumes and develop important skills transferable to the workplace and their daily lives. Student leaders are recognized annually at a special ceremony that honors their participation and accomplishments. Close to 2000 students were involved MCC clubs, organizations and leadership opportunities in 2010-11. The following opportunities for engagement are available to all students this year.

An open and free exchange with faculty, staff, administrators, students, and community partners has created a campus culture of service and social responsibility. The Center has embedded these values into an array of educational experiences. Center staff supports individual students, student clubs, and campus organizations as they engage in service of their design and choice. In addition to the Service Learning program, the Center offers numerous resources, programs, and services. Following on the success of the MCC’s 2008 Day of Service, Center staff continue to offer Seasons of Service (SOS) opportunities to members of the college community. Participants choose to serve in food banks, homeless shelters, veteran’s programs, and many organizations offering a spectrum of services. MCC community engagement activities, designed by faculty, students, and Center for Community Engagement staff, have been integrated across academic and co-curricular areas of the college. • Students in Microbiology courses have designed health and disease prevention materials for Milly’s Place, a family shelter in Lowell. • Performing Arts students have presented free performances at the Lowell Summer music series and urged the college community to participate in and attend interactive sustainability events. • Students in an Explorations in Human Behavior course designed and implemented clothing drives and raised funds for Living Waters in Lowell, Ma. Classes also coordinated a campus wide candy drive for soldiers, delivering donated candy to Local Heroes in Wilmington, Massachusetts. • The Center invited community and campus members to a presentation by ONE Lowell, exploring voter participation data by ward and precinct in Lowell from 2000 to 2009. The study links 2000 U.S. Census demographics with geographic information to present visualizations of voting trends in the city. The study was in collaboration with ONE Lowell and Salem State University. • Math Moves U, a collaboration with Raytheon, Girls Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, and MCC provided math and science workshops at the Bedford Campus to 350 girl scouts. Students, staff, and faculty facilitated workshops and coordinated the day- long event. • As part of Saints Medical Center’s Breast Awareness Month, CCE staff worked with MCC Health Services to film and produce MCC’s version of the Pink Glove dance. • For five years, MCC’s Alternative Spring Breaks have challenged students to critically think and react to problems faced by members of other communities. Being immersed in diverse environments has enabled participants to experience, discuss, and understand social issues in a significant way. MCC offers two Alternative Spring Breaks opportunities; one to work locally with Habitat for Humanity to build and renovate decent affordable housing for families in need. Second, students can choose a weeklong Alternative Spring Break trip to New Orleans. Students and staff learn firsthand about housing issues and make a direct and immediate impact. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Student Engagement • Beginning in 2011, the Center will be an AmeriCorps Student Leaders in Service site.

By promoting and supporting community-based service, the Center for Community Engagement engages the college in the civic life of the larger community. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Student Engagement 24 Service Learning Department Since its inception in 1992, service learning at Middlesex Community College has been a unique collaboration among students, faculty, staff, and community partners. Service learning, at the nexus of critical reflective thinking and civic responsibility, is an opportunity for students to meet identified community needs while practicing academic learning through thoughtful, directed reflection. The pedagogy of service learning is multifaceted and links the curriculum that is learned in class, with practice that is experienced in the field. It also connects the college with community priorities and students with career exploration. The unique results that emerge through intentional and effective service learning practices help students meet the Institutional Student Learning Outcomes for Social Responsibility and Personal and Professional Development. Traditional service learning placements require students to spend 22 hours a semester (2-3 hours a week) at their community site over an 8-11 week time period during the semester. Students are also responsible for reflecting on their service learning work and connecting it to what they learn in their classes and textbooks. In an effort to increase the variety of service learning experiences available to students, faculty can also design all class service projects that have any array of project-based requirements and still meet community needs and include essential reflective practices. Service learning at MCC is designed to meet a wide array of identified community needs, focusing on literacy, health, homelessness, hunger, senior services, and the environment. • • • • • • • Students serve in schools, early childhood centers and after-school programs focusing on literacy, tutoring, and mentoring.

Middlesex Community College (MCC) has successfully established a Dual Enrollment Academy, which serviced some 310 students from over 30 different high schools and home-schools in FY11. The ultimate goal of our Dual Enrollment Academy is to increase the college-ready population in Massachusetts by expanding dual enrollment opportunities to a greater number of students who would otherwise have limited access or no access to an early college experience. These students completed coursework in a wide variety of different college-level courses, with the assistance of $29,100 of state grant monies. Further, MCC offered a reduced tuition rate of $83 per credit hour last year which allowed a greater number of students to participate in the program, regardless of whether or not they received any state grant monies. We have established relationships with many area high schools and provided numerous outreach activities to promote this program. We work closely with guidance counselors and parents to ensure that the college courses selected count for credit at their high school graduation. Dual Enrollment students may select courses that are offered at either MCC campus during the day, evening, on the weekend or on-line. This allows students more flexibility in terms of scheduling courses. MCC intends to ease the transition from high school to college, allow students to get a head start on their college careers, and provide meaningful and challenging academic experiences to qualified students. The Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Program encourages the enrollment and participation of students interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) as well first generation college students. They also place emphasis on courses that would satisfy requirements for the Mass Transfer Program. Our MCC Dual Enrollment Academy focuses our attention on all of these areas in helping recruit and enrolls students for our program. We provide orientation to Dual Enrollment students on an individual basis. They meet with an academic advisor to assist in the application and registration process. During this orientation, students receive information regarding college course expectations, withdrawal processes and implications of grades in these courses, student services available, including all support services. We convey all of this information to our high schools in the recruitment process and in our meetings with students and their parents when registering for these courses. Additionally, Dual Enrollment students are assigned to a specific academic advisor during each semester to assist with any issues that may arise during the semester.

Consortium schools are dedicated to strengthening the ability of each high school and the community college to prepare students for college and careers. Specifically, the consortium aims to increase the number of secondary students in CVTE programs who enroll in postsecondary education ready for college level work. This goal is pursued through the activities listed below. Readiness for college: • • • • Thirty-six teachers participated in professional and curriculum development on the Accuplacer college placement test to increase students’ awareness and preparation Four hundred and thirteen juniors and seniors participated in early Accuplacer testing Nineteen high school, Middlesex and University of Massachusetts Lowell faculty members participated in professional development on preparing students for college-level English Education and career exploration activities and events Transition to college: • • • • Eight guidance counselors participated in the second year of the Academic and Career Counseling Institute which offered professional development on transitioning students to college and careers College visits and information sessions Communication of college information to guidance counselors, students, and their families Specialized orientation and advising activities Pathways to college: • • • • Articulation agreement development, renewal, and dissemination Facilitated process for reviewing potential articulation credit Middlesex and Minuteman created a new collaborative degree program in Building Construction Technology modeled after the successful Advanced Automotive program. Students who graduate from the postsecondary Carpentry program may articulate the technical courses to MCC and complete the required general education courses to earn an Associate degree in Liberal Studies in Building Construction Technology. In December 2010, representatives of Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators and the Massachusetts Community Colleges Council of Presidents signed a statewide agreement for Chapter 74 Approved Secondary Drafting programs to articulate with community colleges' courses in Introduction to Drafting and Introduction to CAD courses. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Education Partnerships 31 Adult Education Partnerships Adult Learning Center This free program at MCC’s Bedford campus provides instruction in reading, writing, and mathematics for adults who live or work in the area. Classes are small and range from literacy to GED preparation. After completing the GED, some students enroll in MCC programs and courses. Changing Lives Through Literature (CLTL) This is an educational alternative-sentencing program whereby probationers engage in bi-weekly literature seminars with professors, judges, and probation officers in conjunction with probation and often in lieu of prison. The women’s branch was founded by MCC Professor Jean Trounstine, and more than six programs have been based at MCC over the last 20 years. First offered through the Massachusetts courts, CLTL is now nationally and internationally known and operates in nine states and in England. Direct Support Certificate Program Middlesex Community College offers a seven-course Certificate in Human Services. MCC and the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services piloted this program which continues to offer scholarships to employees working with individuals who have a developmental disability. Six local human service agencies currently have staff enrolled in the program. Early Childhood Education/Community Partnerships MCC’s Early Childhood Education Department is beginning a new collaboration with a regional partnership that includes Northern Essex Community College, Merrimack College, Salem State University, Lowell Public Schools, Greater Lawrence Community Action Council, MassAEYC, Child Care Circuit, Compass for Kids, the Institute for Education & Professional Development, Mass After School Partnership, Build the Out of School Time Network, and Community Teamwork. The partnership will collaborate with the Northeast Regional Readiness Center at Salem State University. The work of the partnership will enable those employed in the early childhood and out of school time sector to plan and follow a wide range of professional development opportunities through a career pathways approach. The spectrum of available learning will include opportunities to attain credentials, certificates, and planned learning activities that demonstrate core competencies, as well as the attainment of associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in early childhood education. Specific learning pathways provided will include: ABE/GED completion to college, contextualized ESL and developmental education to college, non-credit (CEU’s) to college, CDA to AA/AS degree, other workforce certificates/credentials (infant/toddler, school-age, special education etc.) to AA/AS degree, AA/AS to BA/BS degree and BA/BS to Master’s degree. The Children’s Collaborative Community Partnerships in Woburn, Belmont, Arlington, and Acton provide services to families and children, and also offer some teacher education. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Education Partnerships 32 Evening Education Program for Adults with Developmental Disabilities Middlesex offers space on the Lowell campus to LifeLinks, a social services agency, for this unique, whole-life education program for adults with developmental disabilities who are living on their own or planning to do so soon.

LifeLinks provides an intensive paid internship over the summer and MCC provides a course in Fundamentals of Community Services in Mental Retardation. The program runs June through August. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Education Partnerships 33 Lowell Public Schools Middlesex Community College University of Massachusetts Lowell Vertical Teaming Vertical Teaming provides a vehicle for articulation and collaboration among Middlesex Community College, the University of Massachusetts at Lowell (UML), the Lowell High School (LHS) math, chemistry, and science teachers, and math teachers from the Lowell middle schools. 2010-11 is the eighth year that Gear-Up: Massachusetts has allocated Professional Development funds to support the Vertical Math Teaming Initiative. The mission of the initiative is to create a smoother transition for incoming ninth graders at Lowell High School, to increase the number of students entering higher-level math classes and to ease the transition of Lowell High School graduates who enroll at Middlesex Community College and the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Examples of important Vertical Teaming Initiative are outlined below. 1. Combined Math, Chemistry, and Writing Vertical Teams met throughout the school year to explore: • • • • • • • • The importance of collaboration between science and math within institutions Math and science curriculum mapping The basic assumptions of faculty and teachers Vocabulary and strategies in math vs. chemistry Discrepancies in topics, for example: issue of units, and delays in process Common assessments in math, science, and writing Topics that need to be covered in more depth, for example: metric system, dimensional analysis, and factor labels How to improve faculty understanding of the course content that comes prior/post to their classes. 2. An Accuplacer Prep Course (Math Plus) was designed and implement in 2010-2011 to address the high number of juniors and seniors testing into developmental courses. 3. Step Up to High School Math, a math elective program for rising ninth graders, was offered for the seventh time during the summer of 2011.The program consists of three instructional sessions that parents are encouraged to attend with their child. The curriculum involves a series of math refresher exercises and activities. 1.25 high school credits are awarded to each student who submits the required lessons and participates in at least three sessions. 148 students were eligible to participate in the program in 2010 and 94 of these students earned high school credit. 3. The Vertical Team piloted a new intervention program at the high school level called Mastering MCAS. This program targeted incoming sophomore students who are slated to take the state mandated standardized exam the following May. The program concentrates on the five strands covered in all mathematics courses. The students receive formal instruction on each strand while attending five days of a six-day program. Students that complete the program and all the required lessons earn 1.25 math elective credits. 110 Lowell High School Sophomores signed up for the course, and 45 students received high school credits. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Education Partnerships 34 4. The Mathematics Vertical Team members from Lowell High School and Middlesex Community College offered Fast Track to smooth the transition from high school to Middlesex Community College. Students who enrolled at MCC were identified and invited to participate in this program where the students gain experience taking the Accuplacer exam, and are exposed to the Lowell College campus. Students also received instruction to prepare for taking the college entrance exam, and have the opportunity to improve their mathematics placement by taking a challenge exam. This exam would allow the student to start at a course above the one they tested into, if they were successful. Success was defined as a 75 or better on this challenge exam. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, students had to attend tutoring sessions to improve their skills. Some students were able to move ahead; one student, in particular, who had tested into a basic mathematics class, passed the challenge exam, took her last developmental course during the summer and was able to begin the fall semester in a college-level, transferable mathematics course. Partially as a result of the Fast Track Program Middlesex Community College now offers several placement exam review sessions throughout the year as well as an online program that students can follow to build up their basic mathematics skills. Statistics show that students who take advantage of these opportunities are placing into higher-level mathematics courses. 5. Mathematics Vertical Team members from Lowell High School and UMass Lowell have collaborated to provide the High Steppin’ Program designed to help ease the transition between high school and university. UML faculty members have given several presentations in high school classes, including Algebra II and Advanced Placement Calculus. These presentations consist of two parts: a sample lecture delivered as if the class were a college class, and a discussion of mathematics-related career paths and corresponding college programs of study. The sample lecture part of the presentation is designed to give the high school students a taste of what a college class is like, so they are not taken completely by surprise when they begin their university studies. The university faculty members try to make several points in this part of the presentation: • College classes move much faster than high school classes. • In most college classes, more time is devoted to lecture and less time to student work than in high school classes. • There is much greater need for self-motivation in college than in high school. • College students are assumed to be adults, and if they choose not to attend class or not to do their homework they are left to suffer the consequences. The career and college portion of the presentation is designed to give students some ideas about possible mathematics-related careers, college programs that would prepare them for those careers, and what mathematics they would need in those college programs. Additionally, the presentation emphasizes to the students the important fact that mathematics is required in several majors where it is unexpected. For example, at U Mass Lowell, Calculus I and II are required for students in Biology, Chemistry, and, surprisingly, Sound Recording Technology. Students in Management are required to take a Calculus course and, if necessary, a Precalculus prerequisite. Since students at high school are frequently unsure or wrong about the path they will eventually take in college, failure to complete enough mathematics in high school can make it difficult or impossible later to switch to another major. Middlesex Community College 2010-2011 Fact Book Education Partnerships 35 Middlesex Community College University Of Massachusetts Lowell Lowell Connections Middlesex Community College and the University of Massachusetts Lowell began the Lowell Connections Program in 1998. Its mission is to prepare students who have applied to U Mass Lowell but have not yet met entrance requirements to successfully transfer after one year at MCC and be effective in a university environment. Lowell Connections offers customized advising, academic planning and selected course work at Middlesex. Those students who successfully complete their Lowell Connections courses are prepared to enter specialized baccalaureate programs, such as engineering, computer science, music or management. This unique program provides a completely individualized approach for students to acquire skills and earn credits for transfer to the University. Students also have the option of completing an Associate Degree Program at MCC and then transferring to U Mass Lowell under MassTransfer. Since 1998, nearly 1926 students have enrolled in Lowell Connections. As of August, 2011, nearly 760 of these students have achieved their goal of admission to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, 175 students were admitted to another baccalaureate degree granting institution, 120 students transferred to another Associate degree granting college, and 260 students are still enrolled in the program.
