 2011- 2012 was TCC’s 5 th year as a member of ATD  Structure of ATD at TCC during 2011-2012: ◦ Six intervention teams: 1) Academic Strategies, 2) Advising, 3) African American Male Student Success, 4) Developmental Math, 5) Developmental Reading, and 6) New Student Orientation ◦ Three support teams: 1) Data Team, 2) Research Team, and 3) Communications Team ◦ One Lead Team to guide entire initiative (faculty and dean co-lead) ◦ One Core Team to vet interventions for scalability

 P&IR met with all intervention team leaders to ensure sound data collection and develop analysis plans ◦ Intervention review form used to clarify goals, target population(s), expected outcomes, and assessment tools  P&IR produced eight reports for ATD in 2011-2012 ◦ One for each intervention and one institutional overview report ◦ Additionally, P&IR contributed to a report based on a student survey conducted by the Data Team
