Submitted by: Walters. Jones, and Senior Vice President for Academic Administration • SUMMARYOF ACTIVITIES WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS Informational Report

The following is an update on the activities between and the Detroit Public Schools. The activities are directed by Assistant Provost Wallace T. Williams.

I. Advance Placement Program (A.P.) - 1985-86

The Office of the Provost coordinates the College Board Advance Placement Program (AP) with the Detroit Public School Administration. The Program brings 200-250 seniors to Wayne State University for courses on Saturday mornings, starting in September and ending in May. Advance Placement courses are offered in Chemistry, Biology, English, French, Art, Calculus, History and Spanish. All courses except Art are taught by Detroit Public School teachers. Art is taught by Wayne State University faculty. The WSU bookstore stocks books and classroom materials for the program. The Office of the Provost arranges for use and recharge for equipment and supplies for biology and chemistry laboratories, and arranges space in State Hall and the language laboratories for instruction. University equipment provides state-of-the-art opportunities for high school students in laboratories and computer use •

The campus environment provides an excellent pre-collegiate experience. for these gifted secondary-school students. Orientation for parents and students is handled by the Office of the Provost with full participation by • the Admissions Office. Students and their parents are given the University's recruiting materials, including Merit Scholars information.

II. Teaching of Foreign Language at the Elementary Level - 1985-1986

Assistant Provost Williams directs a committee of the Wayne State University language departments chairs who have developed a program in conjunction with the Detroit Board of Education to improve foreign language instruction in the elementary schools. Instruction is provided through the formation of language clubs at several elementary schools. Undergraduate and graduate students in Greek, Latin, Russian, French, Spanish, German and Arabic have developed one such club at each school. The Office of the Provost covers all paper work and final assignments and tuition reimbursement to Wayne State University students for field experience (2 credit hours); in exchange, Wayne State University students develop and teach ( under supervision) two classes per week at several elementary schools. The program began its second year October 25, 1985.

III. The Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program - (DAPCEP)

The Office of the Provost continues to cooperate with the DAPCEP program by securing math instructors to teach math for the pre-engineering students enrolled in DAPCEP. This program involves instruction in the Detroit • public schools and in some private schools. ACADEMICAFFAIRS COMMITTEE AGENDA OCTOBER 30, IV. Honors Program (WSU/College of Liberal Arts and Detroit Public Schools) •

The Detroit Public Schools have approximately 300 8th and 9th graders who score above 500 on the SAT verbal and/or quantitative examination and are labeled •gifted students• for the mid-west talent search. Instructors from Wayne State University have offered two to three college-level courses over the last two years to this group. Courses have been offered in philosophy, economics, and mathematics. Plans are now in progress to expand this program and bring some of these students to campus for early exposure to the college experience. v. Detroit Public School Teachers - WSU Faculty Programs

The Chair of the English Department at Wayne State University is now a member of the High School Competency Examination Committee of the Detroit Public Schools. In addition, the Wayne State University English faculty are working with Detroit Public School teachers on the teaching and development of new course content for middle and high school English courses. Several short-term institutes are planned by the Wayne State University faculty for various Detroit Public School English teachers.

The English department has submitted a grant proposal of $150,000 to the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the development of intensive workshops and institutes for improving teacher instruction in literature for the Detroit high schools.

The Office of the Provost is coordinating development of proposals . in. science, biology, chemistry, and foreign language for potential state, National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Education funding to support teacher training.

VI. Advanced Academic Preparation Program - (A2p2)

The A2p2 program has begun its fourth year. This intensive pre-college experience for Detroit Public School junior students continues to expand in the areas of biological sciences, computer science and mathematics, but has declined in humanities and social sciences.

Winter 1984 409 333 23%

*Winter 1985 342 252 28%

*Improved screening and a decrease in humanities and social science students caused a decrease in the number of students participating in 1985.

Courses offered in 1985 were as follows:

Classes Number of Sections • French 1 Pre-Calculus 5 Biology 1 lecture 2 labs Oral Communications 2 Computer Literacy 5 Expository writing 2 Critical Thinking 1

The instruction involved 18 University faculty and doctoral students.

As in previous years, an orientation session was conducted for parents, D~troit Public School students, and Wayne State University· faculty. The Provost gave the welcome and major address to the students and parents. Wayne State University Admissions Office provided brochures, information on scholarships, loans and special opportunities for gifted and talented students at Wayne State University.

Evaluation of A2p2 Program Instruction by Public School Students (Summary)

Most of the items in the evaluation are straight forward Likert scale evaluation items. They show an overall positive evaluation of the program. (See Appendix I - 1-30) For example, on teacher preparation for classes, 100% of students responding either strongly agree or agree that classroom preparation is of high quality. Most evaluations in the affirmative fall between 82% for strongly agree and agree to 96% strongly agree to agree. • Exceptions to these trends were the 16.3% which did not give an evaluation on the text book and the 74.9% which agreed or strongly agreed the text books selected for courses were good. In addition, 67. 7% strongly disagreed or disagreed with the notion of teaching the course(s) differently, and 20.5% had no opinion. The difficulty of the courses received mixed evaluation with at least 10% strongly agreeing that course material was difficult, while 17. 4% had no opinion. However, 93% of the students strongly agree or agree the course( s) should continue to be offered; and 93. 6% strongly agree or agree that generally the courses were good.

Of particular interest was the fact that 98% of the students said they participated in order to advance themselves academically and 97. 3% thought A2p2 gave them additional preparation for college; 93.2% would recommend the program to friends. A continued and careful review of all items continues to indicate a strong positive reaction to the program by Detroit Public School students.

Faculty Evaluation of A2P2 Students and of the Program

Faculty evaluation of student performance continues to be somewhat mixed (Appendix II - 1-10), but is more positive than in either of the previous two years. Seventy-five percent of the faculty strongly agree and 25% agree the students were prepared for classes. Seventy percent thought student • performance met their expectations while 20% said somewhat and 10.0% almost - 3 -

.. •,;o __ , .. ,,.;.~~~:_ , " ' never. ·selection criteria have improved and the faculty perception of the adequacy of the students' academic background to handle this accelerated wor. was rated •most of the time" by 60% and • always• by 10%. This is a clear reversal from last year, when a majority of the faculty felt student backgrounds were not adequate for these accelerated campus courses. Consistently, 80% of the faculty feel students were clearly motivated and favorably responded to assignments, 90% feel in the affirmative that the program is worthwhile and fulfills our urban mission. Over 60% of the faculty are willing to continue teaching in the program. Of the remainder, several indicated they were leaving the university or that other academic priorities prevent them from participating for a second year.

Additional Comments

The success and uniqueness of this program continue to attract attention from other universities developing collaborative programs with high. schools. Visitors from the , Temple University and the California State Colleges have sought information on the Wayne State University Detroit Public Schools collaborative efforts for possible development at their institutions.

Assistant Provost Williams was invited by the President's Commission on Private Initiatives to present an overview of the Wayne State University - Detroit Public Schools program to corporate executives, university administrators, and citizens concerned about improvements in public education during the month of June in Washington, D. c.

I ' WAYNESTATE UNIVERSITY-DETROITPUBLIC SCHOOLS COLLABORATIVEPROJECT • ADVANCEDACADEMIC PREPARATION PROGRAM (A2p2) INTRODUCTION

During 1982, Detroit was found with the virtual destruction of its industrial-based economy and a need to build new foundations and support for the City's social, educational, and economic survival. Therefore, it was decided to develop a University-urban public school program which would focus on ways which public education could contribute to building a new economic base in conjunction with labor, business, and other public and private partners in the City. Initially, Wayne State University and the Detroit Public Schools set out to develop educational programs which would directly and indirectly generate a new labor market for technology­ based industries, particularly in the areas of Allied Health Professions, Computer Sciences, and Engineering. These collaborations led to Detroit making a serious analysis of the roles which public education can play in the development of new "high technology" small businesses on which to build a basis for economic revitalization. Due to the slow and meticulous nature of the development of high technology programs, limited employment was available for students in training programs; however, at the same time, the industrial based automotive industry was rejuvenated, and employment began to grow in all sections of the economy •

In Winter 1983, the Wayne State University-Detroit Public Schools • Collaborative Project decided to focus on an intensive pre-college experience with accelerated academic courses for junior-level students. This was an attempt to strengthen the academic component of a large urban public school and improve the academic readiness of students for college and entry-level and/or training positions after high school. IA.Iring the first year of the accelerated academic courses, 245 students enrolled in 11 courses and one seminar on testing. At the conclusion of the course offerings, 131 students were enrolled. This represented a loss of 46.5% of the students. These losses were attributed to several factors but principally to two. First, University faculty expected all students to represent the academic elite of the system, and course work would be at the fresl"rnan college level or above. However, the selection of students based on abilities varied among the public schools and thus students' ahil iti es ranged from exceptional to ave rage in what was thought to be an accelerated program. Second, University-DPS goals and objectives were not clear with the result that students and Public School teachers had one set of expectations and university professors another concerning levels of motivation, preparation and commitment for the accelerated course \t,U rk.

However, students who completed the program during the first year rated it highly and were pleased with the content of the courses as well as the instruction. University faculty generally agreed that the program was wrthwhile, both from the standpoint of future University recruitment, and in tenns of fulfilling the urban mission. Faculty thought students • completing the program did acquire new skills and a deeper appreciation ·-,

, .. - 2 -

of the rigors of University course work. Industry was pleased with the • perfonnance of those who found Sumner employment during the Sumner and part-time during the academic year.

Program Goals

Prior to the second year of the program, goals and objectives were developed and approved by the University faculty and Detroit Public school teachers and administrators. These were: ,. To give students academic experience within the college environment in order to motivate them for high academic achievement. 2. To strengthen problem solving skills in order to prepare them for advance placement courses during their senior year, and potential job training at the conclusion of high school. 3. To expose students at the junior level to college professors who can offer them rigorous academic subjects, not necessarily at the freshman level, but which will include a variety of experience in order to build confidence and ensure competent perfonnance in later freshman level work. 4. To motivate the students to accept new challenges and high academic perfonnance with mature behavior. • 5. To have Wayne State given top consideration in their choice for pursuing a college degree.

6. To develop a working partnership between DPS faculty and WSU faculty within the discipline so as to assist in the improvement of public education with the metropolitan community. Selection Criteria A2p2 student selection criteria were developed and used to select students for the second and third years of the program, these included:

(a) All prerequisites for the junior level status must be completed and prerequisites for each campus course the students enrolled in must be completed prior to program participation.

(b) Record of academic achievement must be B or better.

(c) Standardized test scores should be above the average.

(d) Recommendations of teacher and department head within the subject area. •

• ( e} Student commitment to be punctual for all classes and attend all scheduled classes for the length of the program.

(f} Student ·commitment to complete all homework and other assigrnnents.

Enrollment

The second year of the program enrolled 432 junior students in 11 different courses. The third year enrollment was 495 junior students in 8 different courses

At the conclusion of the course offerings in May 1984, approximately 333 students were enrolled or received final grading marks. This represented a loss of 23% of the students for the 1984 academic year contrasted with 46.5% for the first year. This increase in the number of students remaining in the program is due in part to improved selection criteria, agreed upon goals and expectations, increased WSUfaculty sensitivity to the academic deficiency many of the students bring to the courses, and strong support and school monitoring of the program by DPS teachers and administrators. In 1985, the loss is expected to be less than 20% of the • students.

Sull1llary • It is evident from the student evaluations, A2p2 has been of enormous benefit to them and to the University, from the standpoint of meeting the reconrnendati ons of the State Board of Education in 11Bl ue Print for Action 11 for K-12 - Higher education collaborative projects. In addition the program serves the purpose for future University recruitment of gifted and talented students from DPS, and plays a major role in fulfilling our urban mission. The program has shown major improvements over the first year, and while several problems remain to be solved the critica 1 academic and organi zati ona l issues have undergone change and was shown to have improved greatly in 1984 and 1985.

This program is generating other collaborative efforts with DPS in the area of future teacher training, mid-west talent search programs which involves working with 8th and 9th graders, and the development of foreign languages courses for pre-high school students. In addition, renewed interest from industry with small grant support for these efforts appears to be underway.

Moving the program to Saturdays rather than continuing after school during the weekdays may have been part of the reasons for the drop in absenteeism and the loss of fewer students from the program.

The program played an important part in enriching the academic life of the DPS students, and improved their preparation for College Board • Advanced Placement Courses for their senior year.

The admi ni strati ve coordination components have been strengthened, and probably one of the most significant factors has been the strong support for this program by the President, David Adamany, and the Superintendent of Detroit Public Schools, Arthur Jefferson.
