ABSTRACT
T he purpose of this project was to improve the retention and success of at least 30 academically
talented students, especially women and underrepresented minorities, who desire to transfer to

received up to $3,125 along with faculty mentoring and professsional e-mentoring and were active
participants in either the math or engineering club.
On a broader scale, the project has improved Santa Fe’s student support programs by creating
a mathematics faculty monitoring and mentoring program, by subscribing to MentorNet which is
an E-Mentoring Network for Diversity in Engineering and Science, by creating a mathematics and
engineering online component, and by expanding the role of Santa Fe’s Math Club. In addition, the
project’s Math and Engineering Career Counseling Workshops and monthly meetings have acted
as a link to strengthen the partnership between Santa Fe College and the University of Florida.

DIRECTOR

ABSTRACT
T he purpose of this project was to support Santa Fe College in redesigning its instructional approach
to Intermediate Algebra (MAT 1033) for increased student retention and success. Intermediate
Algebra is Santa Fe’s largest enrollment math course comprised of students with a wide range of
ability levels.
Colleagues Committed to Redesign (C2R) is a program conducted by the National Center
for Academic Transformation (NCAT) with support from the U.S. Department of Education Fund
for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE). The C2R program provides support to
colleges and universities in rethinking and redesigning the way instruction is delivered, especially
large-enrollment core courses, in light of the possibilities that new technology offers.
A four-person team from SF met with NCAT staff, Redesign Scholars, and redesign teams from
other colleges at a disciplinary institute which introduced the NCAT methodology, strategies, and
techniques for successful course redesign, and helped the teams develop course redesign plans.
Following the institute, NCAT supported collaboration through consultation and on-site visits to Santa
Fe. SF implemented a pilot redesign of MAT 1033 and shared experiences and lessons learned with
the larger higher education community at an annual national dissemination conference sponsored
by the Redesign Alliance.
This project will benefit approximately 640 students enrolled annually in Intermediate Algebra.

ABSTRACT
T he purpose of this program was to enhance college readiness skills and motivation for 60
participants enrolled in grades 9-12 attending Newberry and Bradford High Schools. More
than 83 percent of the students were low-income and potential first-generation college students
and more than 16 percent met at least one of the criteria.
Academic year services included after-school tutoring at the designated high schools in
subjects the students were enrolled for the academic year. Saturday sessions provided supplemental
instruction in college entrance examination preparation, FCAT preparation and practice, computer
access, personal, academic and career counseling. Field trips provided opportunities to visit
college campuses, academic and professional career programs, attendance at cultural events
and activities, and community service initiatives. Workshops provided information and instruction
on college admissions and financial aid, testing techniques and effective study habits, health and
nutrition, and professional and personal etiquette. Student sponsored fundraising events were
organized to supply scholarships for seniors. In addition, an End-of-the-Year reception was held
in May to recognize outstanding student achievements.
The Upward Bound Program sponsored a six-week, non-residential summer enrichment
program. It provided instruction in the core curriculum academic subjects, which included
algebra through pre-calculus, laboratory sciences, English with an emphasis in literature, reading
and writing, Spanish and career development. The Work Study Internship/Mentoring Program was
sponsored for upper-class students to explore current career choices, and gain work experience
and mentoring from professionals in their chosen career fields.
This was year five of a five-year project.

ABSTRACT
T he purpose of this project is to design and pilot a new model for developmental education
course delivery. College Prep Reading 2 (REA0002) will be redesigned using a model that
is scalable for delivery in diverse settings. Improvements in student success will come through
prescribed individual student learning plans based on solid diagnostic results, a flexible, modular
instructional delivery system, increased student engagement on task using technology tools, and
just-in-time assistance from instructors in a reading lab. As a direct result of the course redesign,
the amount of time that students devote to developmental education coursework will be reduced,
creating significant student savings. Approximately 300 students will be served by this project
initially.
This is year one of a two-year project.
