COESA OVERVIEW3-year projectone of 14 consortia funded in2011 by ODE High School-Higher Ed AlignmentProgram.3 IHE Partners Shawnee State University - mathematics Southern State Community College science Ohio University Southern Campus (Ironton) - English 4. Align high school course expectation with highereducation placement expectations in first year, non-remedialcoursework to ensure seamless ar ticulationand transfer Provide services to the Appalachian Region throughcollege access and success strategies4COESA GOALS 5. First generation college student (mostly) No AP or advanced high school coursework No concept of college life5COESA FOCUS ON MIDDLE 60% 6. Content alignment conversations (Fall 2011) Math graduation requirement - 4 credit hours Middle 60% Senior transition course (AY 2011/2012) SSU faculty lead Dr. Krista Maxson 5 high school teachers from Lawrence County Vanessa Collins South Point H.S.

Development Summer 2012 Piloted 3 graduate courses with support fromOhio Board of Regents 10 students Revised (2012-2013) from a traditional masters programoffered in blended format to one designed to specifically meetneeds of target audience Approved by Regents Advisory Committee for Graduate Studies(RACGS) on November 22, 2013 and HLC May 12, 2014 Admitted first official cohort of 22 students summer 2014 Eight remaining pilot cohort members on schedule to completedegree summer 2015.9M.S.

H.S. teachers do not have the academic freedom shared byuniversity faculty Very few H.S. teachers in our area hold the credentials tooffer dual enrollment courses The Magic Wand All high schools staffed with teachers holding a masters inthe content able to offer dual enrollment courses12COESA EVALUATIONSPRING 2013 13. Dual Enrollment Access in Mathematics using theFlipped format to Increase Student Achievement(DEAMFISA) The primary goal of DEAMFISA is to increase the achievement of highschool students in the Southern Appalachian region of Ohio by givingthem the opportunity to learn Mathematics at a college level through"flipped" dual enrollment courses. The secondary goal is to increase the number of dual creditopportunities in the region by supporting area math teachers seekingto earn the credentials to offer dual credit courses with the resourcesnecessary to start the Master's in mathematics program at ShawneeState University13STRAIGHT-A-FUND 14.
