Basic Skills Teacher Training |

The
community college offers an
opportunity for students to earn
two-year degrees, vocational
certificates, or transfer to a
four-year institution. However,
many students who look to
community colleges for these
opportunities are deficient in
reading to the extent that
success in the typical
content-area or vocational
classroom is improbable. Few
content-area or vocational
teachers truly understand the
reading process and more
importantly the little things
they can do to facilitate their
students' ability to read course
materials.
Our workshops provide the
content-area and/or vocational
teacher with background
knowledge about the reading
process, appropriate reading
comprehension strategies for
expository text, and
learner-initiated interventions
to help the under-prepared
student in your classroom
succeed. Our workshops focus:
|
|
| |
-
on reading as an active
meaning-building process
rather than passive word
recognition
-
beyond the literal to
interferential and critical
evaluative levels of reading
comprehension
-
on comprehension strategies
that facilitate help
students structure and
restructure concepts
-
on fix-it strategies
students can implement on
their own when their
comprehension breaks down
|
|
| |
All
of this without any significant
change to the course content. |

Program/Curriculum Assessment |
|
| |
Assessment
for student learning outcomes at
the course level, general
education level and program
level has become a focal point
for accreditation associations
for community colleges across
the country. Assessment not only
involves appraisal of the
effectiveness of a particular
outcome, but more importantly
what will be the resulting
improvement to make that outcome
more effective or efficient.
Assessments specialists at Tim
Brown Associates will train
faculty, staff and
administrators on how to build a
“culture of assessment” with
your institution or a specific
unit within your institution in
academic affairs or student
services. Specifically we can
assist you in:
-
determining student learning
outcomes
-
assessment of student
learning outcomes
-
developing an annual or
comprehensive review
template that will assist
each unit in documenting
-
assessment of student
learning outcomes
-
implementing processes for
data generation and
reporting to accrediting
bodies
