National Model for Accelerated Cohorts

Local SICC Examples of Accelerated Cohorts

SICC EXAMPLE: CONTENTS










Students do not learn in a cohort environment, and focus on

individual learning

Colleges do not provide options for accelerated learning

Students do complete programs, primarily on their own or with

company encouragement

Colleges utilize cohort learning to build student relationships and confidence, and to improve student outcomesColleges offer various accelerated learning tracks Students complete programs more quickly, with peer support and encouragement

NATIONAL MODEL: ACCELERATED COHORTS

PRESENT STATE: PREFERRED STATE:










Cohorts improve student outcomes byCreating a space for students to support each other, academically and otherwiseAdding an element of positive “peer pressure” to the academic experienceBuilding student confidence and inter-personal skills

Accelerated programs allow students to“Get to the point” and learn exactly what they need to know to be employable Re-enter the workforce quickly and obtain skilled jobs that can lead to additional growth opportunities

PREFERRED STATE:

NATIONAL MODEL: ACCELERATED COHORTS










28 credit Manufacturing Technician Career Studies Certificate program took at least 2 semesters (8 months) to completeStudents did not proceed through the program as a cohort, and took courses full time

Accelerated Mfg. Technician Career Certificate program compressed: 12 week programStudents

proceed through the program as a cohortTake MSSC testing to earn certificationsparticipate in interviews with potential employers as a part of the program

BEFORE: 8 month program NOW: 12 week program

LOCAL SICC EXAMPLE: DANVILLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE - ACCELERATED COHORTS










Since the program has a non-standard scheduling model, it can be difficult to schedule and secure appropriate instructorsProgram is a “full time job” and is very rigorous; there are many “want to” students that don’t complete

Doesn’t follow semester schedule, so program can begin at any time as long as there are enough students signed upRoughly 66 – 75% completion rateAverage two cohorts per yearSix cohorts complete since the beginning of the M-S AMC grant

NOW: CHALLENGES NOW: OPPORTUNITIES












NOW: 12 week program

Students start their careers while in college earning AAS degreeStudents gain 3 years of hands-on work experience in their field while in schoolCohort learning for all 3 years Students are surrounded by like-minded students in their field and develop strong relationships
