Dr. Chutima Case, assistant director of student development in University College at The University of Toledo, was recently certified as a developmental education specialist by the Kellogg Institute for the Training and Certification of Development Educators.
Case was one of 45 educators selected across the United States to participate in the Kellogg Institute and its certification process beginning in the 2003-04 academic year.
Case’s project, “An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Learning Community Program for Developmental Students at The University of Toledo,” measured the GPAs and retention of students in the learning community as compared with the same data for students who did not participate in the learning community. The recommendations from this research project will help in the design of future learning communities.
The Kellogg Institute offers a unique monthlong living/learning experience for the training and certification of educational professionals who work with academically under-prepared students on college campuses.
The institute provides an intensive four-week summer training program in the areas of assessment and placement of developmental students; designing learning environments; student support systems and leadership; and outcomes assessment and program evaluation. Following the institute’s summer residency, participants return to their home campuses and implement a program development project.
The Kellogg Institute is the oldest leading training and certification program for professionals in the field of developmental education and learning assistance.
