    Student Outcome Studies — Academy for College Excellence + MENU Student Outcome Studies Since its inception in 2002, the Academy for College Excellence (ACE)—formerly called Digital Bridge Academy (DBA) —has been rigorously evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. Ten independent external evaluations have been conducted, all demonstrating significant impacts on vulnerable students and community college faculty. 1. Evidence of Success This document summarizes the results of the recent findings of two longitudinal evaluation studies of the ACE Program: the Columbia University’s Community College Research Center (CCRC) study published in 2009 and the RTI International (RTI) study released in January 2014. The two key findings: 1. The ACE academic outcomes are replicable at colleges adopting the ACE model; i.e., the academic outcomes produced in the CCRC study are replicated when the ACE Program is implemented at multiple colleges where some of the colleges are scaling to serve over 350 students per year. http://academyforcollegeexcellence.org/student-outcome-studies/[5/6/2014 3:15:31 PM] Student Outcome Studies — Academy for College Excellence 2.

  • Transfer Information Transfer Information

    Transfer Information Transfer Information

    Transfer Information Transfer Information ne of the primary missions of a community college is to prepare students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. If you are planning to transfer to a California public four-year school, you should complete Othe lower division (freshman/sophomore) major, as well as general education and elective courses for a total of 60 transferable units so that you can transfer with junior (upper division) standing. Although it is not required for transfer, many students earn an Associate Degree in addition to completing transfer requirements. Berkeley City College (BCC) students may choose to transfer to a California State University, a campus of the University of California, or to a private college or university in California, as well as out-of-state. BCC has developed a number of partnerships with local four-year institutions, including a Cross Enrollment Program with California State University, East Bay, the University of California, Berkeley, and Mills College (see pp. 51). In addition a number of BCC courses are taught on the University of California-Berkeley campus, you have an opportunity to attend community college classes on the campus of one of the world’s most renowned educational institutions. BCC has a variety of resources to assist students with the transfer process. Th e college’s Transfer and Career Information Center houses catalogs for four-year colleges and universities and sponsors visits with their representatives. Counselors are familiar with all transfer requirements. Counselors can assist you in planning a program of study to ensure your smooth, timely, and successful transfer.

  • Chapter 2 Sign Language Types

    Chapter 2 Sign Language Types

    Chapter 2 Sign language types This chapter defines four different sign language types, based on the infor- mation available in the respective sources. Before introducing the types of sign languages, I first report on the diachronic developments in the field of typological sign language research that gave rise to the distinction of the various sign language types. Sign language research started about five decades ago in the United States of America mainly due to the pioneering work of Stokoe (2005 [1960]), Klima and Bellugi (1979), and Poizner, Klima and Bellugi (1987) on American Sign Language (ASL). Gradually linguists in other countries, mainly in Europe, became interested in sign language research and started analyzing European sign languages e.g. British Sign Language (BSL), Swedish Sign Language (SSL), Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT) and German Sign Language (DGS). Most of the in-depth linguistic descrip- tions have been based on Western sign languages. Therefore, it has long been assumed that some fundamental levels of linguistic structure, such as spatial morphology and syntax, operate identically in all sign languages. Recent studies, however, have discovered some important variations in spatial organization in some previously unknown sign languages (Washabaugh, 1986; Nyst, 2007; Marsaja, 2008; Padden, Meir, Aronoff, & Sandler, 2010). In the context of growing interest in non-Western sign languages towards the end of the 1990s and more recently, there have been efforts towards developing a typology of sign languages (Zeshan, 2004ab, 2008, 2011b; Schuit, Baker, & Pfau, 2011). Although it has been repeatedly emphasized in the literature that the sign language research still has too little data on sign languages other than those of national deaf communities, based in Western or Asian cultures (Zeshan, 2008).
