Download or read book A Course in Anger Transformation written by Jose M. Baltazar, PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to offer an effective alternative for managing anger and transforming it into a more productive energy and behavior. Most programs in existence are based on cognitive approaches, which although effective, require much effort and persistence and a longer period of time to exercise control over the emotion of anger. The foundations of the program in this book are relaxation, meditation, and accelerative learning skills. These techniques have been proven to facilitate change with less effort and struggle because they work at the subconscious level. Change and transformation occur more naturally and organically by removing the conscious thinking that change is difficult to achieve and that it requires hard work.

Download or read book A Model for Accelerating Academic Success of Community College Remedial English Students Is the Accelerated Learning Program ALP Effective and Affordable written by Davis Jenkins and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the findings from a quantitative analysis of the Community College of Baltimore County's Accelerated Learning Program (ALP). Under ALP, students placed into upper-level developmental writing are "mainstreamed" into English 101 classes and simultaneously enrolled in a companion ALP course (taught by the same instructor) that meets in the class period immediately following the English 101 class. The aim of the ALP course, which has only eight students, is to help students maximize the likelihood of their success in English 101. Our results suggest that among students who place into the highest level developmental writing course, participating in ALP is associated with substantially better outcomes in terms of English 101 completion and English 102 completion, the two primary outcomes ALP was designed to improve. However, we found no evidence that ALP students' greater likelihood of completing English 101 and 102 correlates with increased rates of college persistence or passing other college-level courses. Looking at the costs of ALP in relation to our findings on its effects, we found that ALP is a more cost-effective pathway through the required college-level English courses than the traditional developmental English sequence as measured by cost per successful student ($2,680 versus $3,122). A rough cost-benefit analysis finds that the benefits of ALP are more than double the costs. Appended are: (1) Tables; and (2) Accelerated Learning Program, Community College of Baltimore County Cost Analysis Details. (Contains 7 tables and 17 footnotes.).

Download or read book Program Evaluation written by Tamika Boone and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges have tried to address student retention issues with a variety of developmental education initiatives, which are designed to increase academic skills that allow students to successfully complete college-level courses. The purpose of the program evaluation is to examine the effectiveness of the Accelerated College Pathway Program (ACP) at a 2-year community college and the outcomes for academically underprepared students’ success. Academically underprepared students were defined as individuals required to take remedial education courses. This program evaluation examined participants of an accelerated remedial education Co-Requisite Model, which allowed students to complete college-level English with a mandatory companion remedial writing course simultaneously. This program evaluation was guided by three sub-questions: What is the impact, if and, for students who participated in the ACP Program on retention over students who did not? How do students and faculty who have participated in the program, perceive the effectiveness of the ACP Program? What is the academic success rate, in 100 level college English, if any, for students who participated in the ACP Program over students who did not? This program evaluation employed a convergent mixed methods research design, and implemented the use of descriptive statistics, interviews, and focus group data. The findings indicate that academically underprepared students, who completed college-level English by participating in a co-requisite model, perform just as well, if not better than students deemed to be college ready.

Download or read book Community College Student Success written by Vanessa Smith Morest and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student Success: From Board Rooms to Classrooms analyzes the emerging body of scholarly research on student success in an accessible and readable way that community college leaders will find both interesting and relevant. To further illustrate the connections between research and practice, case studies are drawn from community colleges that are engaging in reform. Morest offers a three-pronged approach for community college leaders seeking to improve the success of their students. First, community college leaders need to look around at the technological transformation that has occurred in other service sectors and import some of these ideas to student services. Second, community college leaders need to explicitly socialize their students to become college students and to bond with their community college. Finally, improving the quality of teaching is particularly important with regard to developmental education, where students are attempting to master material that they have ostensibly been taught in the past.
