Placement Summit

March 2, 2007
Columbus, Ohio

The Ohio Board of Regents hosted a statewide Placement Summit on March 2, 2007 at the Columbus Renaissance Hotel, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Placement Summit focused on promoting a dialogue with educational leaders on the development of common placement guidelines for campuses, updates on national and Ohio’s efforts to improve the college readiness of students making the transition from high school to college, and featured the work of several campuses engaged in placement case study investigations.

The Placement Summit, developed in collaboration with the Secondary to College Advisory Committee co-chaired by Fred Law, Lakeland Community College and John Folkins, Bowling Green State University, was designed for academic leaders, faculty and administrators engaged in working with new students on the transition from high school to college, student success and placement. It was also of value to educators engaged in the development of introductory courses in mathematics and English, remedial course development and developmental education efforts. The Placement Summit:

1. Provided opportunities for dialogue on the implementation of the Ohio Core, placement practices around the state, and national trends in assessment and placement.
2. Promoted dialogue on the development of statewide guidelines for the placement of newly admitted students in college credit courses.
3. Shared placement case studies and identified areas of concern that may arise from the implementation of statewide guidelines.
