A recently released CCBC student data study shows ALP students are earning more credits (persisting) when compared to students who took the traditional developmental writing classes. The study looked at 3 cohorts of ALP and Non-ALP students who enrolled at CCBC in Fall 2010, Fall 2011, and Fall 2012.
The first data set compared the ALP and Non-ALP students who passed ENG 052 (CCBC’s upper- level developmental writing class) and earned at least 12 credits within 1 year.
Breakdown by year:
Fall 2010 Total N=1,616
ALP (N=288) 33% (94 students earned at least 12 credits)
Non-ALP (N=1,328) 13% (172 students earned at least 12 credits)
Fall 2011 Total N=1,592
ALP (N=549) 32% (177 students earned at least 12 credits)
