Prevention and reduction - schools
This document summarizes strategies that schools can use to prevent youth crime and antisocial behavior based on international evidence. Effective prevention interventions for individuals work with smaller groups, are delivered by program originators, and use cognitive behavioral techniques for higher risk youth aged 12 or more. Schools can create an environment for prevention through reorganizing grades/classes, altering classroom management, improving school discipline policies, and teaching social skills using cognitive behavioral methods. Interventions that do not work and should be avoided include those focused on coercion/control, boot camps, unstructured counseling or training, and programs that group high-risk students without structure.

Improvement through the use of data
This document discusses school improvement planning and the use of data to improve student achievement. It begins by outlining Patrick Murphy's background and experience in education. It then presents arguments on both sides of whether school improvement plans actually lead to increased student achievement. While some research shows little relationship between planning and achievement, other studies find that establishing clear goals, implementing decisions, and monitoring effectiveness can positively impact student performance. The document then reviews requirements for school improvement plans from federal, state, district, and school levels. It provides an example of a school district policy on improvement planning and evaluates a sample school improvement plan template. Finally, it discusses how principal evaluation frameworks examine the use of data in school improvement planning and criteria for effective data-driven decision

The document summarizes key findings from surveys of over 1,000 business executives and hiring managers regarding their views on the value of a college education and the preparedness of recent college graduates. Some of the main findings include:
- Most executives and hiring managers express confidence in colleges/universities and see a college degree as important or very important. However, many think colleges need to improve in ensuring graduates have the skills needed for the workplace.
- Employers find it difficult to fill many open positions and want colleges to better prepare graduates for success in entry-level jobs and ability to advance.
- Executives prioritize skills like critical thinking, written communication, and problem-solving but feel graduates are less

The document summarizes key findings from a survey of 325 Chief Academic Officers about how their institutions track data on underserved student success and outcomes. Some of the main findings include:
- Most institutions track graduation and retention rates, but fewer track data on high-impact practices and learning outcomes, and even fewer disaggregate those data by factors like race/ethnicity.
- Institutions are more likely to track and disaggregate data based on race/ethnicity than other factors like socioeconomic status.
- Over half of institutions have set goals to close gaps in retention and graduation rates specifically for different racial/ethnic groups.
- The majority have or are developing programs to build faculty capacity to support underserved
The Economic Case for Liberal Education
There is increasing demand from employers for college graduates with higher levels of learning and skills beyond just knowledge in a specific field, including skills like critical thinking, complex problem solving, communication and collaboration. Employers prioritize hiring candidates who can contribute to innovation in the workplace through these types of skills. Data also shows higher earnings potential and career success for those with broader skillsets associated with a liberal education, including skills like writing, reasoning and social/interpersonal skills. A liberal education approach to college that combines broad and field-specific knowledge with the development of transferable skills is recommended.
Optimistic About the Future, But How Well Prepared? College Students' Views o...
Key findings from survey among 400 employers and 613 college students conducted in November and December 2014 for The Association of American Colleges and Universities by Hart Research Associates.
From November 13 to December 3, 2014, Hart Research conducted an online survey on behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities among 613 college students—all of whom were ages 18 to 29 and within a year of obtaining a degree, or in the case of two-year college students, within a year of obtaining a degree or transferring to a four-year college. These students included 304 four-year public college seniors, 151 four-year private college seniors, and 158 community college students who plan to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
Prior to the survey, in September 2014, Hart Research conducted three focus groups among current college students. One group was convened in Waltham, Massachusetts, among seniors at private four-year colleges and universities. Two groups were held in Dallas, Texas—one group among seniors at public four-year colleges and universities and another group among students at community colleges who expect to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
The focus groups and survey were undertaken to explore college students’ views on what really matters in college, including what learning outcomes are most important to them personally and for their future success. The research also explored current college students’ sense of the job market today, their confidence in being able to secure a job, and how effectively they think that their college learning has prepared them for this. The research was designed to understand the learning outcomes students believe are most important to acquire to be able to succeed in today’s economy and how well they feel that their college or university has prepared them in these areas. It also explored their participation in various applied and project-based learning experiences, as well as their perceptions of the degree to which employers value these experiences when hiring recent college graduates.
The survey of college students was conducted in tandem with a survey of 400 employers, and explored many of the same topics to provide a comparison between these two audiences.
This report highlights key findings from the research among college students. Selected comparisons with employers are included where relevant. A report of selected findings from the survey of employers was released by AAC&U in January 2015.

Key Findings from Focus Groups with College Students
The document summarizes key findings from focus groups with current college students conducted by Hart Research Associates in September 2014. The focus groups explored students' understanding of their colleges' expected learning outcomes, feelings about post-college transition, and confidence in having skills for success after college. Key takeaways are that while students focus on degree requirements rather than skills, they recognize employers value both field-specific and cross-cutting skills. Students believe critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills are most important to employers. Though anxious about transitioning, students generally feel prepared with needed skills and knowledge.
Employer Priorities for Most Important College Learning Outcomes
Employers were surveyed about important college learning outcomes. The top three outcomes identified were: oral communication (85% said very important), problem solving in diverse settings (96% agreed is important regardless of field), and knowledge and understanding of democratic institutions and values (87% agreed is important regardless of field). Teamwork skills, written communication, and critical thinking were also identified as very important outcomes.
Connecting College Learning and America's Global Future
Employers are increasingly globally connected and are placing more emphasis on hiring candidates with global knowledge and experience.
Connecting College Learning and Career Success
Employers prioritize liberal and applied learning for all college students.
-Nearly all employers (91 percent) agree that for career success, “a candidate’s demonstrated
capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more
important than his or her undergraduate major.”*
-Nearly all employers (96 percent) agree that “all college students should have experiences
that teach them how to solve problems with people whose views are different from
their own.”
-More than three-quarters (78 percent) agree that “all college students should gain
intercultural skills and an understanding of societies and countries outside the
United States.”
Employers endorse broad learning as essential to long-term career success.
-When hiring recent graduates, employers place the greatest priority on a demonstrated
proficiency in skills and knowledge that cut across majors. Of 17 outcome areas tested,
written and oral communication, teamwork skills, ethical decision making, critical
thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings are the most highly
valued by employers.*
-Confirming findings from four previous national surveys extending back to 2006, employers
overwhelmingly endorse broad learning and cross-cutting skills as the best preparation for
long-term career success. When asked in the latest survey, only 15 percent chose field-specific learning alone as the best preparation for long-term success.*
Employers strongly endorse an emphasis on applied learning and view student
work on applied learning projects as valuable preparation for work. Students
agree that applied learning projects are valuable.
-73 percent think that requiring college students to complete a significant applied learning
project before graduation would improve the quality of their preparation for careers.*
-60 percent think that all students should be expected to complete a significant applied
learning project before graduating.*
-87 percent of employers agree that they are somewhat or much more likely to consider a
graduate as a job candidate if she or he has completed a senior project.*
-Gallup reports that college graduates who did internships, were involved in extracurricular
activities, and worked on a project that took a semester or more to complete were twice as
likely to be engaged at work. Only 6 percent of graduates report experiencing all three of
these things. About one-third report doing a significant project.**
-89 percent of students agree that doing an applied learning project would increase their
likelihood of being hired.*

Falling Short? College Learning and Career Success
Key findings from survey among 400 employers and 613 college students conducted in November and December 2014 for the Association of American Colleges and Universities by Hart Research Associates.
From November 3 to 11, 2014, Hart Research Associates conducted an online survey on behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities among 400 employers whose organizations have at least 25 employees and report that 25% or more of their new hires hold either an associate degree from a two-year college or a bachelor’s degree from a four-year college. Respondents are executives at private sector and nonprofit organizations, including owners, CEOs, presidents, C-suite level executives, and vice presidents. The objective of the survey is to understand which learning outcomes employers believe are most important to acquire to be able to succeed in today’s economy, how prepared they believe recent college graduates are in these areas, and employers’ feelings about the importance of applied and project-based learning in college.
In addition, from November 13 to December 3, 2014, Hart Research conducted an online survey among 613 college students. Respondents included 455 four-year college seniors (304 at public colleges and 151 at private colleges) and 158 community college students who plan to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months. This survey explored many of the same topics as the survey of employers in order to provide a comparative perspective among college students. This report highlights selected findings from both the research among employers and the survey of current college students.
The majority of employers continue to say that possessing both field-specific knowledge and a broad range of knowledge and skills is important for recent college graduates to achieve long-term career success. Very few indicate that acquiring knowledge and skills mainly for a specific field or position is the best path for long-term success. Notably, college students recognize the importance of having both breadth and depth of skills and knowledge for their workplace success.
Employers say that when hiring, they place the greatest value on demonstrated proficiency in skills and knowledge that cut across all majors. The learning outcomes they rate as most important include written and oral communication skills, teamwork skills, ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings. Indeed, most employers say that these cross-cutting skills are more important to an individual’s success at their company than his or her undergraduate major.
However, employers feel that today’s college graduates are not particularly well prepared to achieve the learning outcomes that they view as important. This critique applies to all of the 17 learning outcomes tested, including the cross-cutting skills that employers highly value.

This document discusses the importance of liberal education for preparing students for work and citizenship in the 21st century. It argues that liberal education outcomes like critical thinking, communication skills, and ethical reasoning are valued by employers and important for civic engagement. While liberal education can provide these benefits, not all students currently receive such an education, with some being steered away from broad arts and sciences courses. Overall, the document makes the case that liberal education is essential for both individual and societal success in today's world.
