Accelerated Learning Program

 

The Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) is for full- or part-time students who place into ENGL080 Reading/Writing II and would like to accelerate their progress by taking ENGL101 Composition I and ENGL099 Accelerated Learning Program Support. ALP的部分课程在所有三个校区都可以使用. 白天和晚上的部分都是可用的. To register for ALP, see an academic advisor.

What is ALP?

The Accelerated Learning Program is focused on students who place into ENGL080 Reading/Writing II and is intended to both accelerate their progress and improve their success by mainstreaming them into an ENGL101 Composition I class when they also take the ALP support course, ENGL099. A student who elects to participate in the ALP program is placed into a designated section of ENGL101, 由9名ALP学生和11名英语101学生组成. The 9 ALP students from two of these ALP ENGL101 sections are combined into one ENGL099 support class. All three courses (the two sections of ENGL101 and the ENGL099 section) are taught by the same instructor and are three credits. 这三个类别的单位被称为三合组. ALP课程每周在计算机实验室开一次会.

In ALP, the support course guides students while they are taking college-level English rather than being a prerequisite for the course as ENGL080 is. To do this, ALP courses use backward design, 采取课程的目标，并结合脚手架学生需要达到它. 下面是一些在ALP类中发生的事情的例子:

• 为101作业搭建脚手架:头脑风暴和其他写作前准备, writing workshops, draft reviews, 专注于修改和编辑活动, etc.
• 练习和完善阅读技巧的机会，包括细读和主动阅读.
• Opportunities to practice and refine writing skills such as organization, development, editing, etc.
• 介绍博彩网站校区，服务，政策和程序.
• 回答学生关于101课程或学校的问题.
• 解决非认知问题，促进成功学生的习惯.

ALP对学生有什么好处?

• ALP学生节省时间:辅助课程与作文I同时进行, 因此，学生不需要在进入大学水平的工作之前进行一个发展学期.
• ALP students save money: The developmental course and required College Skills co-requisite course are integrated into a single course. ALP uses the 101 course materials and campus resources as the course materials; there are no additional textbooks for students to buy.
• ALP students can take program courses in their first semester: Students in the developmental course may only choose from a limited number of courses until the developmental course is completed.
• ALP学生面临着大学水平作业的挑战，但在ALP课程中获得额外的支持.
• ALP students receive extra time and individual instruction from their Composition I professor: The same professor teaches both Composition I and ALP, 加强ALP教学.
• ALP students witness the benefits of the support course: Remediation takes place within the context of the college-level course, rather than prior to it.

ALP学生更有可能成功. Student success data has proven that ALP students are more likely than students taking the traditional developmental sequence to

• pass Composition I,
• pass Composition II,
• 并在ALP之后的学期返回

学生们对ALP有什么看法?

过去的ALP学生的评论:

“ALP极大地增强了我对101的信心. At the beginning, I didn't know or thought I didn't know anything about reading and writing…ALP is awesome for becoming part of the Atlantic Cape family and meeting students at similar levels…Best class ever."

 

"I felt more like a student at Atlantic Cape because I learned so much about not only English as a course but this college as a whole."

 

"I always felt like I was one step ahead of all the other kids in English 101 because of the extra work with the same professor."

ALP是如何在博彩网站开始的?

Atlantic Cape's program began when English full-time faculty member Effie Russell learned about the Community College of Baltimore County's (CCBC) Accelerated Learning Program. 有关CCBC模型的信息可在 their website. 每年6月，中国教育促进会主办“加速发展教育大会”. 关于本次会议的信息可在“会议”下找到 website.

Effie Russell将CCBC模型改编为Atlantic Cape模型，开发了triad模型, where nine students from each of two Composition I courses populate a single Accelerated Learning Program class of eighteen students. 她在2012年春季试点了这个项目, and the positive results of the pilot led Atlantic Cape to begin scaling up: growing the program to include all three campuses, 向更多的学生开放课程，比如兼职学生, and training more faculty.
