Brad Kleindl - Degree to Enrollment Ratios and Persistence Rates, Meeting Rep...ACBSP Global Accreditation
The document discusses various measures that can be used to assess student persistence and success beyond traditional IPEDS measures like retention and graduation rates. It recommends using measures like degree-to-enrollment ratios (DER) and persistence rates that provide a more holistic view of student populations, especially for non-traditional students. The document also provides an example of how to analyze DER and persistence data using a matrix to identify program areas for further exploration and improvement.
This document outlines recommendations from a Developmental Education Task Force (DETF) for redesigning developmental education programs in Colorado community colleges. It identifies issues like low completion rates for students requiring developmental courses and proposes accelerating students through the developmental sequence by reducing time, credits, and courses. The recommendations include adopting corequisite models, using multiple measures for placement, expanding support services, and providing faculty training. Colleges are asked to develop implementation plans addressing curricular redesign, testing changes, student supports, staffing, and evaluation metrics to improve student outcomes.

From Throwing Stones to Creating Ripples Ramapo’s Approach to Student SuccessHobsons
Joseph Connell, Director of Student Success, and Tracey Bender, Student Success Coordinator at Ramapo College discussed implementation and execution of Starfish and how intentionality, collaboration, and closing the loop have increased student success. Learn specific examples of how student success metrics have improved as a result of Starfish implementation and examples of how student-focused offices have leveraged the technology to create ripple effects that extend campus-wide.
The document proposes updates to Central Connecticut State University's early intervention program to improve student success and retention. It recommends implementing a new StudentPRO system to provide students with self-assessments and notifications about their academic progress. Faculty would use the system to flag at-risk students, who would then be required to meet with an advisor ("PRO") to develop a success plan connecting them with campus resources and support services. The proposal aims to increase collaboration between faculty, staff and administrators to better engage and support students through an early intervention program.
The document discusses plans to revise the WASC accreditation process and handbook for 2012-2020. It outlines key issues like graduation rates, credit transfer, and accountability. It proposes combining the first review with the proposal stage, shortening the process from 5 to 3 years, and using more off-site reviews. Task forces will focus on retention, learning outcomes, reporting, and institutional reviews. Revisions aim to streamline compliance while promoting improvement and accountability.

Stars are formed from dust and gas drawn together by gravity. As a protostar, increasing heat from compression leads to hydrogen fusion, forming a main sequence star. Over time, a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and swells into a red giant. From there, a dying star will either cool into a white and then black dwarf, or for larger stars, explode as a supernova, throwing material containing heavier elements formed during its life into space. What remains is either a neutron star or, for the largest stars, a black hole.
This document discusses assessment and evaluation in student affairs. It outlines how assessment results should be shared with stakeholders like students, faculty, administrators and others.

Assessment of specific student affairs areas like financial aid, admissions and residential life is also discussed. The importance of assessing these areas for retention, budget and enrollment is outlined. Suggested quantitative and qualitative methods are provided.
Building a Highly Effective Coaching and Mentoring Program at ScaleInsideTrack
Developing an effective, scalable coaching program requires cross-functional commitment and success requires clear and realistic goals, based on current realities.
1) The document discusses strategies to improve student success in developmental education courses. It notes that around half of community college students and one-fifth of four-year college students require remedial courses, and fewer than one in four students who take developmental courses complete a degree.
2) One strategy discussed is course acceleration, which uses multiple measures like noncognitive assessments and placement test scores to potentially place some students directly into college-level courses rather than developmental prerequisites. The SuccessNavigator assessment provides schools with noncognitive data to help identify students who may be misplaced and could succeed if accelerated.
3) A case study is described that found students who were accelerated based on their SuccessNavigator results in addition

Presented by Joseph Connell and Christopher Romano
Hobsons University 2015
This document summarizes a presentation on understanding graduate enrollment management. It discusses the need to move beyond siloed functions and instead take an integrated, interdependent approach to better serve graduate students across their lifecycle. A hypothesis is proposed for two potential graduate enrollment management models - one focusing on cross-functional teams at smaller institutions, and a "nexus" model emphasizing coordination at larger universities. Survey responses from graduate professionals suggest moving responsibilities beyond just admissions to also include student services, retention, and other areas. Defining graduate enrollment management and further research are discussed.
This document summarizes a presentation on student retention from the perspective of a registrar with experience at both public and private institutions. It discusses how retention is a shared responsibility of students, faculty, staff, and administrators. A few key responsibilities include creating student-friendly policies, providing academic and social support programs, and using student data to predict at-risk students and target interventions. The presentation provides many ideas to improve retention, such as faculty outreach, academic support services, campus engagement opportunities, and a comprehensive first-year experience program.

The document summarizes the design of an evaluation plan for a tertiary preparatory program in schools. The plan aims to assess the program's effectiveness in improving students' motivation, skills and career decision-making. It involves collecting academic performance data, student journals, observations and focus groups. Staff surveys and a SWOT analysis will also gather feedback. Ethical considerations like informed consent and confidentiality are discussed.
This document discusses effective assessment practices for institutions of higher education. It outlines how assessment can benefit institutions by informing decisions about curriculum, programs, policies and student needs. The importance of assessment is that it allows institutions to measure goals and learning outcomes, improve student learning and teaching, and gauge institutional effectiveness. The document provides examples of assessment practices from Northeastern Illinois University and recommends strategies for developing institution-wide and program-level assessment systems, including establishing goals, collecting both direct and indirect measures of student learning, and using assessment data for continuous improvement.
This document outlines recommendations from a Developmental Education Task Force (DETF) for redesigning developmental education programs in Colorado community colleges. It identifies issues like students not completing developmental sequences and recommends accelerating students through reducing time, credits, and courses. The recommendations include curriculum redesign using reverse design principles, guided pathways like Corequisite Remediation and Math Achievement Tracks, increased use of multiple measures for placement, enhanced student support, faculty professional development, and regular assessment of student outcomes. Colleges are asked to develop implementation plans addressing curricular changes, staffing, resources, training, partnerships, and evaluation. The goal is to improve developmental education and increase student completion rates.
Paul Wickline_Final Project_10-27-13_PPT (2)Paul Wickline
Southern California Community College aims to improve student success and retention. The document proposes developing a new early alert system called "MyBeacon" to replace an ineffective previous system.

This document summarizes a playbook for competency-based education (CBE) programs. It finds that over 150 institutions currently offer CBE programs, with strong expected growth to 750 institutions and 500,000 students by 2020. Key drivers of CBE growth are the rising cost of higher education, demand for flexible learning options, and employer emphasis on skills. The playbook helps institutions address challenges like strategy, organization, program development, student success, technology, management, and marketing across the CBE lifecycle from planning to implementation to improvement. It provides a framework to align efforts, avoid pitfalls, and evaluate options tailored to each institution.
Slides from Kevin Trowbridge's panel presentation "Social Media for Living and Learning: Unique Campus Perspectives" at Social Media for Teaching & Learning in Boston, MA. Oct. 18.
The major findings from the 2013 Social Media Higher Education Survey jointly conducted by Pearson Learning Solutions & The Babson Survey Research Group.
In this presentation given at the Social Media for Teaching and Learning event in Boston this fall, Jeff Borden of Pearson explains that as technology informs educational processes for delivery, assessment, content creation, and more, the evolution of that technology is transforming teaching and learning. But, as we shift from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, education must filter through the glitz and "shiny objects" to best understand what actually works and what does not. This presentation will draw on educational best practices from past to present (and even look to the future). From Bloom to Kolb to Johnson and Johnson, rote memorization to authentic assessment, learning theory to practical application, the World Wide Web has tools that not only help educators promote sound pedagogy, but advance it.
Krista Jackman: Twitter and Tweeting; Community and CompositionPearson North America
This presentation, part of the Social Media for Teaching and Learning, focuses on the anecdotal experience of Krista Jackman's use of Twitter in Freshman Composition at the University of New Hampshire, English 401. Krista developed pedagogy that used Twitter for a dual purpose: as an experiment designed to facilitate a feeling of community, prior to the start of a Residential Learning Community, and to introduce the the function of critical analysis.
In it's third year, the 2012 Social Media in Higher Education survey is a study conducted by Pearson in conjunction with the Babson Survey Research Group on how today's faculty are using social media in their personal, professional and teaching lives. These results were presented by Mike Moran of Converseon, Jeff Seaman of the Babson Survey Group, and Hester Tinti-Kane of Pearson Learning Solutions at the Social Media for Teaching and Learning event in Boston, MA on Oct. 19th.

Rey Junco & Eric Gordon: Social Media for Engaging Multiple Learning StylesPearson North America
In this presentation, Rey Junco and Eric Gordon discuss how online social spaces are transforming classroom engagement. Specifically, they address how these spaces can improve student capacity to participate in class dialogue by allowing a safer, slightly less ego-invested method of interaction. This was presented at the Social Media for Teaching and Learning event on Oct. 19th in Boston, MA.
- The document reports on a survey of over 1,900 college faculty about their use of social media both personally and professionally.
- It finds that over three-quarters of faculty have visited social media sites in the past month, with Facebook and YouTube being the most commonly used.
- While over 90% of faculty engage with social media for work, only around 80% use it for teaching purposes in their courses, such as assigning content for students to view.
Here are the slides from our 2011 Social Media in Higher Education Survey. We presented this research at the Pearson Cite Conference in Denver on 4.11.2011.

The document discusses current trends in the US employment landscape and opportunities for placement and recruiting. It provides statistics on unemployment rates and discusses an evolving view of work. Specifically, it notes rising unemployment, a shift to online recruiting, and projects major growth in certain industries and jobs requiring postsecondary education or training by 2018.
This document discusses the future of education and how emerging technologies may impact it. It presents 3 items that could provide insights: public accountability, student service interoperability, and competency-based achievements. It then examines topics like consumerism in education, the role of cloud computing and data, the need to balance efficiency and customer service, and how gaming concepts could influence personalization and competency profiling. Finally, it argues the future may see education shift to a more consumer-focused, student-centered model where technology helps drive differentiation, innovation, and student success.
The document discusses strategies for improving student success in online programs through effective faculty members. It outlines four key strategies: 1) Educating and certifying faculty in online teaching methods; 2) Providing students with support materials to set them up for success; 3) Leveraging assessments to evaluate student and faculty performance; 4) Conducting periodic evaluations of faculty to provide feedback and opportunities for improvement. Implementing these strategies can help ensure faculty members are effective in promoting student success in online learning environments.
The document discusses default prevention and lowering cohort default rates (CDRs). It defines default, explains how CDRs are calculated and tracked, and outlines changes to how default rates will be measured going forward. The rest of the document provides an agenda for implementing a default prevention plan, including activities schools can do before, during, and after enrollment to help lower their CDRs and maintain federal financial aid eligibility.
The document discusses an institution's efforts to improve remediation for underprepared students through the use of online assessment and learning tools. It implemented a pilot program with a vendor to assess students' skills and generate individualized learning plans. Based on the success of the pilot, the institution transitioned all students to the new online platform to streamline assessment, remediation, and tracking of student progress. Support resources like tutoring services and guidance documents were also provided to help students navigate and make the most of the new online tools.
2010 PLS Career Summit: Tom Kosel, Director of Government Relations, Globe Un...Pearson North America
The document discusses potential regulations around gainful employment and their impact on for-profit career colleges. It notes that student loan debt is increasing across higher education but is highest on average for students at for-profit institutions. For-profit schools have not consistently tracked outcomes data to demonstrate the value they provide students. The potential regulations would require schools to report more detailed employment and earnings data for graduates to show their career training programs are eligible and provide access to gainful employment. The regulations would take effect on July 1, 2012.
2010 PLS Career Summit: Rob Curtin, Chief Applications Officer, Microsoft CorpPearson North America
This document discusses trends in education technology and how institutions can adapt. It notes that accountability, student success, consumerization of technology, and demographics are driving market forces. Institutions must empower users by embracing devices, moving from managing things to empowering users, and providing the right information to users at the right time. Technology can help focus on identity and control while differentiating institutions if implemented as part of a process focusing on quality and long-term gain over short-term pain. Gaming can influence learning through achievement engines and competency profiles that allow seamless transfer of learner achievements between educators and public accountability systems. Microsoft solutions can help with planning, assessment, accreditation, professional development, collaboration, accountability, student success
2010 PLS Career Summit: Chris Slatter, Senior Analyst, EduventuresPearson North America
This document summarizes a presentation on new programs and market opportunities in online higher education. It discusses areas of focus for learning collaboratives, growth in various online credential programs, factors influencing future online market growth, and the role of for-profit providers in expanding access. Key fields like business and education are predicted to continue dominating the online master's market, while additional innovation may be needed to sustain rapid growth beyond 2015.
The document discusses concerns around proposed "gainful employment" regulations for the for-profit education sector from the U.S. Department of Education. It summarizes that the original estimates from the Department significantly underestimated the negative impacts, including that 30% of students could be at institutions deemed ineligible, and up to 500,000 students may not complete their education. It also estimates that the regulations could cost taxpayers $5.3 billion annually, far more than the $2 billion in defaulted loans the regulations aim to protect.
