60% of students at SKC failed to complete DVSP courses."
Of those who did, 90% of them didn’t succeed in college gateway courses (English Comp. & College Algebra) on their first attempt."
Between 70-80% percent of all new SKC students each year required DVSP in at least one subject.
In the winter of 2009, our director of institutional effectiveness conducted a review of key institutional data and discovered the following multi-year trends:
Early in 2010, a DVSP focus group was assembled to trouble-shoot these issues.

Developments

Plot Twists
Some big changes were easy, and some small ones were hard. "
The extent to which “non-cognitive” factors play a role in DVSP success was significantly underestimated on our campus."
Too Much vs. Too Little Self-efficacy. "
It turns out we weren’t always in undiscovered country.
![Page 32: Improving Developmental Studies Completion Rates at SKC ... · Reading Math Language 64 53 41 ... Spring, 2012 -- Hosted TCU DVSP Symposium" Spring, 2012 -- Lumina Consultant Speaks](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040804/5e421ad10a0fce07f6560aee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Unique Aspects of Our Project
The complete integration of Springboard (ABE) and Developmental Studies "
The finding of high rates of Visual Stress Syndrome among the DVSP population"
The application of the narrative approach

Lessons & MoralsWith the proper structure and campus community buy-in, significant system changes can be accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. "
You eat an elephant one bite at a time."
What often manifests as an academic issue is usually the result of--or is compounded by--a combination of other “non-cognitive” or systemic issues. "
DVSP instructors, and other first-year faculty, need to embed “non-cognitive” skill building into academic content.
