New IUB 2030 initiative helps faculty transform gateway courses with student success in mind

A new initiative at Indiana University Bloomington is helping faculty rethink the design of some historically difficult gateway courses in an effort to help more students succeed academically.

The Crimson Course Transformation Initiative — run by the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and facilitated by the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning — is part of the IU Bloomington 2030 strategic plan that includes student success and opportunity as one of its pillars.

The goal is to transform entry-level courses that have high enrollments and a large number of students receiving D or F grades, or withdrawing from the course, so that students can be successful, complete the courses and continue the pathways of their majors. Courses targeted for the initiative typically have had at least a 15% DFW rate, said Vasti Torres , vice provost for undergraduate education.

“The belief was that if students do not do well in these courses, they would leave the institution,” Torres said.

education courses

Nine courses from the mathematics and chemistry departments, the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, and the Kelley School of Business were selected for the initiative, which started in January. Fifteen faculty members attended monthly workshops during the spring 2024 semester and an intensive three-week summer seminar. The faculty will implement the planned changes to the courses in the fall semester.

“We use evidence-based techniques to help faculty members evaluate their courses and the types of students they have,” Torres said. “It helps faculty learn how to use different techniques to produce better ways of introducing information to students and them understanding it.”

A different approach

The focus during the spring semester was helping faculty learn more about their students, and developing student personas that capture and make real those sometimes abstract data points, said Greg Siering, director of the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning. For example, one persona could be a first-generation sophomore with an outside job who just declared a major for which the class is required.

In addition to the courses being inherently difficult because of the subject matter, the students come from varying learning backgrounds and enter with different expectations about how much work will be required of them, Siering added.

“As you think of the changes you want to make in the classroom, you think about how it would work for these student personas,” he said. “It makes it very student-centered.”

The faculty were given data about students who dropped their courses and the reasons why. They also received feedback from students who persisted regarding what worked well in the courses and any barriers they encountered, said Madeleine Gonin, the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning’s assistant director for inclusive teaching.

Faculty also were asked to think about how students will interact with the content, and the skills and knowledge they are being asked to use, Gonin added.

The summer seminar looked at the courses’ design, such as whether the material is appropriate for that level, what the faculty want the course to accomplish, and whether there is too much material for the students to understand, Siering said.

Measuring the effectiveness of changes to the courses will involve examining how much students improve from one test to the next, how much self-efficacy and belonging improve, and ultimately whether the DFW rates decrease, Siering added.

‘We want students to succeed’

Corrin Clarkson , director of general education math modeling and a clinical associate professor in the Department of Mathematics, is participating in the initiative to transform M211. The calculus 1 course is foundational for students following the chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science degree tracks.

education courses

“We care about the logic and argumentation that got you to the answer,” she said.

Clarkson’s role in the math department focuses on student success, and she leads a team of instructors who teach introductory classes. She said she was happy to participate and look at M211 through a different lens.

“We want students to succeed in this math class,” she said.

Clarkson said the equity approach to understanding students in the class was valuable. She liked the team approach to course transformation and appreciated the help from the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning.

M211 is a dense course with a lot of material, and Clarkson chose to focus deeply on core ideas.

Rethinking the course involved a backward design approach, focusing on the end goal and working backward to make sure the material and learning expectations progressed sensibly. Clarkson said this involved identifying major themes and stating them intentionally very early so students could see from the beginning where they are going.

“We want to try and provide consistent messaging about the big picture,” Clarkson said.

Also, the decision was made to allow students to retake some of the exams with similar exams so students could learn from the feedback and have another chance, she added.

Clarkson said she believes the Crimson Course Transformation Initiative is a good jumpstart for helping students be more successful.

“I wholeheartedly approve of the mission,” Clarkson said.

Delaware nonprofit launches $10,000 in 'mini grants' for school boards: Education roundup

education courses

Class is now in session.

Well, school starts both this week and next for most systems across Delaware. And education in the state has already been making headlines regardless, from back-to-school dates and supply events, to public school board dysfunction and new bans around student cellphones.

As students set to return, one education nonprofit hopes to fuel innovation in school boards with "mini grants," while another Delaware Vo-Tech district is taking a moment to honor the past.

In this weekly roundup, we'll catch you up on these and other education updates you may have missed.

Wait when is the first day of school? Start dates vary across Delaware's public school districts

Delaware education nonprofit announces 'mini grants' for school boards

First State Educate wants to help school boards across Delaware improve governance, better engage their communities and start tackling challenges in public education. This month, the nonprofit announced its latest tool to aid: money.

First State Educate is launching a "Mini Grant Program," fueled by $10,000 in total funding.

Small grants will be allotted to school board members who apply with proposals for their school system, from Aug. 26 to Oct. 11 . Applicants who pass initial screening will undergo further interview in November, and funds should hit the boards by December. Such structure hopes to allow thorough evaluation of proposals, per First State Educate, to land on projects with the greatest potential impact.

Eligible board members must have participated in at least three First State Educate activities, events, initiatives or meetings this year, according to the nonprofit, while also maintaining a record of "effective leadership" in their roles.

More application information should publish Monday at FirstStateEducate.org .

New Castle County Vo-Tech unveils new marker for historic school

New Castle County Vocational Technical schools just unveiled a new historic marker.

Last week, Delcastle Technical High School hosted a ceremony that formally honored the location of the former Industrial School for Colored Girls, later known as the Edwina Kruse School. The school was dedicated in 1920 as the first educational institution for the "care and rehabilitation" of Delaware's young Black women, the district said in a press release.

Back then, minors were redirected to such industrial schools instead of prison to learn, reform and reenter society. Young men, both white and Black, were sent to the Ferris Industrial School, while young white females attended the Industrial School for Girls in Claymont.

But before this school on Newport Gap Pike, there was simply no Delaware location for the care of young women of color. And at available schools in Philadelphia and Baltimore, deaths from tuberculosis began to grow more frequent, according to a written synopsis on this history from Delcastle Tech social studies teacher Donato Rufo.

Land was purchased by the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Delaware after fundraising, and by 1919, the new school was founded.

These days, Delcastle Tech sits on much of that old farm land hosting the Edwina Kruse School. And Kruse, its namesake, was not only a former principal of now-Howard High School of Technology, per Rufo – but a pioneer for Black education throughout Delaware.

Howard was once the  only high school  serving Black students in the state, as well as one of the earliest in the nation. The Edwina Kruse School stayed in operation until 1960. So last week, State Rep. Kim Williams, Sen. Spiros Mantzavinos, Delaware Public Archives' Stephen Marz and many more celebrated the marker highlighting just one piece of history held within this district.

New Delaware charter school celebrates its opening in Georgetown

The Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence opened its doors to the community for the first time with a ribbon cutting ceremony last week.

The new Georgetown charter school saw some 200 community members, families and staff mark the occasion, according to a press release, including the local chamber of commerce, Georgetown Mayor Bill West and more.

“I’m very excited to welcome our students in the 2024 school year,” Chantalle Ashford, the school's founding leader, said in a statement. “The Board, our inaugural staff and our youth leaders from our summer program built a strongfoundation for our school community. We will continue to build on their work during our inaugural year!”

The school is named after Bryan Stevenson, the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, renowned lawyer, human rights activist – and Delaware native. Filling the old Howard T. Ennis building, the school will open with sixth, seventh and eighth grades in its first year.

And Ashford is confident the tenants of her new school will set it apart: with personalized learning plans, service-focused learning, unique scheduling and extracurricular activities for all students.

Wilmington University debuts a business course with total Spanish immersion

Wilmington University just unveiled the latest addition to a growing portfolio of bilingual options in its undergraduate business curriculum.

That "business communications" course will be live, online and in Spanish immersion, according to a press release from the Delaware institution. It's designed for students who speak Spanish and English, while preferring Spanish instruction.

It joins the first Spanish immersion course at WilmU, launched back in 2023, aiming to benefit both native speakers and those preparing for bilingual careers. U.S. Census data shows Latino population compromising some 19% of the U.S. population, per WilmU, with about 7% of Delaware's residents hailing from Spanish-speaking households.

“Wilmington University is committed to meeting the diverse needs of our student body,” said Robin Weinstein, dean of the College of Business, in a statement. “Reflective of our ongoing efforts to provide innovative, inclusive and relevant educational opportunities for all students, the introduction of a Spanish immersion format for our Business Communications course exemplifies this dedication by offering courses that cater to bilingual students."

More information on the course is available on the university's website .

Ohio prison holds first-ever five-course meal open to public on facility grounds

by PATRICK AFTOORA ORSAGOS. The Associated Press

GRAFTON, Ohio (AP) — A state prison in northeast Ohio says that for the first time in the state's history, a five-course meal has been served to members of the public with food prepared by incarcerated men from fruits and vegetables grown in the prison garden.

Almost 60 people dined at Grafton Correctional Institution, where incarcerated men in the prison's EDWINS Leadership and Restaurant Institute hosted the event in the “EDWINS’ Garden” and “Hope City Garden.”

EDWINS, an organization dedicated to education in prisons, hosted the dinner as part of its culinary course, offered in 652 prisons and jails around the country. The six-month course provides training to incarcerated people, teaching them cooking techniques, safety and sanitation, knife skills and other certifications needed to work in a fine dining establishment.

“Figuratively what is happening is that we’re reframing what’s possible in prison,” said Chef Brandon Chrostowski.

Chrostowski — a James Beard Award semifinalist and finalist for Outstanding Restauranteur — formed a partnership with the staff at Grafton Correctional Institution in 2012, and designed a class to teach incarcerated men about culinary arts and hospitality.

The program was born out of the belief that “every human being, regardless of their past, has the right to a fair and equal future," Chrostowski said.

Bouquets of magenta roses, lilies and other flowers lined a table covered with white linen cloth. Fresh bread and olive oil was set out for each diner. The table was placed in the middle of the two gardens.

Incarcerated men grow a range of fruits, vegetables and herbs ranging from parsley to corn and beets.

Greg Sigelmier, 40, an incarcerated person at GCI, says he looks forward to attending the program every week. He says the class has helped him come out of his shell.

He first signed up to work in the kitchen for the dinner party because he didn't want guests to see how nervous he was.

After some thought and conversation with others close to him, he thought it would be good to challenge himself by doing something that makes him feel uncomfortable. Sigelmier said he's considering working in the industry when he is released in a year.

“This could be the rest of my life. And they’re doing this for everybody. They’re not looking at me as a number. They’re looking at me as a person,” Sigelmier said.

The five-course meal began with a beet salad with goat cheese and greens, followed by a kale “purse” with farmer cheese. Guests ate roasted salmon topped with a béarnaise sauce and braised garden greens. Roasted lamb with tomato provencal followed. Dessert included a corn cake with blueberry compote and Chantilly cream.

Each course was paired with a mocktail, one of them named the “botinique” — soda with a thyme-infused honey syrup and lemon.

The program also requires participants to learn each other's working styles and behaviors, and helps them to build relationships over preparing and sharing a meal.

“Working together as the community that we are and at the end getting to eat the food, it’s the best part. You should see the faces on these guys when they’re eating just the regular chicken noodle soup that we just all worked together. It’s incredible,” 28-year-old Efrain Paniagua-Villa said.

Before his incarceration, Paniagua-Villa said he spent a lot of his time cooking at home with his mother and sister. He said cooking with his classmates has helped fill the gap that was left when he began his stint in prison 2 1/2 years ago.

The incarcerated men in the EDWINS culinary program at GCI are serving a variety of sentences from short to life and range in age from 20 to 70, according to the organization.

Some of the men in the EDWINS program will graduate and have the option to apply to work at many restaurants in the Cleveland area upon their release.

“Many of our guys that live here are going home, so they’re going home to be our neighbors. We want our neighbors to be prepared to be law-abiding citizens, and that’s what this program is about. It’s not just about teaching guys how to cook or how to prepare food," said GCI warden Jerry Spatny. “This gives them reentry level skills so that when they go home, they can be successful in that environment.”
