This book was released on 2011 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students, who complete their first two years of higher education at community colleges, must be prepared for the rigorous coursework at four-year institutions. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive update and to determine if there were differences in the academic performance of North Carolina native students and North Carolina community college transfer students who began their higher education matriculation at selected community colleges in North Carolina and then transferred to state universities in the same state. Using secondary data from statewide databases of student records with information on North Carolina community colleges and University of North Carolina institutions, this study investigated and analyzed data on academic performance as measured by grade point averages and average credit hours attempted for each year under study. The findings from this study indicated that North Carolina community college transfer students who completed the requirements for associate degrees from the college transfer curriculum performed as well as native juniors as measured by grade point averages. However, the native students attempted more credit hours during their matriculation at the state universities than did their community college transfer counterparts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of education has been and will continue to be essential to the survival and sustainability of the Black community. Unfortunately, over the past five decades, two major trends have become clearly evident in the Black community: (a) the decline of the academic achievement levels of Black students and (b) the disappearance of Black teachers, particularly Black males. Today, of the 3.5 million teachers in America’s classrooms (AACTE, 2010) only 8% are Black teachers, and approximately 2% of these teachers are Black males (NCES, 2010). Over the past few decades, the Black teaching force in the U.S. has dropped significantly (Lewis, 2006; Lewis, Bonner, Byrd, & James, 2008; Milner & Howard, 2004), and this educational crisis shows no signs of ending in the near future. As the population of Black students in K-12 schools in the U. S. continue to rise—currently over 16% of students in America’s schools are Black (NCES, 2010)—there is an urgent need to increase the presence of Black educators. The overall purpose of this edited volume is to stimulate thought and discussion among diverse audiences (e.g., policymakers, practitioners, and educational researchers) who are concerned about the performance of Black students in our nation’s schools, and to provide evidence-based strategies to expand our nation’s pool of Black teachers. To this end, it is our hope that this book will contribute to the teacher education literature and will inform the teacher education policy and practice debate.

Download or read book Conquering Academia written by Sonyia C. Richardson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country, women are pursuing doctoral degrees at a rate higher than males. While the data indicates that women are now more likely to pursue this advance degree, limited research addresses the real experiences of diverse women who are pursuing a doctoral degree. This book highlights the lived experiences of diverse women who are progressing through a doctoral degree program and the challenges as well as opportunities that they face. These women share unique and transparent experiences of progressing through a doctoral program. Through a narrative approach, Conquering Academia Transparent Stories of Diverse Women Doctoral Students, addresses themes of intersectionality, lived experiences, challenges and opportunities, and adopting an academia mindset. Featured in the Contemporary Perspectives on Access, Equity, and Achievement series, this book shares perspectives of diverse women doctoral students and how their cultural identities assist them with navigating the academic landscape. It also provides insight for current female doctoral students about strategic positioning as a student within the doctoral program and personal necessary transformation in academia. It informs faculty and staff in academia about the experiences of diverse women and how to support their progression and overall retention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing alternative student development frameworks and models, this groundbreaking book provides student affairs practitioners, as well as faculty, with illuminating perspectives and viable approaches for understanding the development of today’s diverse student populations, and for building the foundation for their academic success and self-authorship. With the increasing number of adult working students, minoritized, multiracial, LGTBQ, and first-generation students, this book offers readers vital insights into –and ways to interrogate– existing practice, and develop relevant responses to the needs of these populations.Building on and critiquing the past frameworks, and integrating the insights of contemporary scholarship on student development, the contributors collectively put forward a robust theoretical and methodological foundation for this work, using Critical Race Theory as their central frame. CRT allows chapter authors to situate race related encounters at the center of their proposed alternative framework or model, and deconstruct and challenge commonly held assumptions about diverse college student development. In the tradition of CRT, each author offers an alternative model or framework that can be applied to the diverse population upon which the chapter is framed, prompting readers to address such questions as:• Who are our college students?• What set of experiences do our students bring to the higher education context? • What role have their environments/contexts (i.e. home, p-12, community, family, peer groups, mentors) played in our student’s lives? • What impact have intervening variables (i.e. race, oppression, power) hadon their experiences?• What strategies do they use to overcome developmental obstacles?• How do they define success, and how they know they have achieved it ?By laying bare the experiences of these diverse college students that inform this volume’s “alternative” frameworks this book contests that notion that they constitute square pegs that must fit into the round holes of traditional frameworks.

Download or read book Developmental and Non Developmental Community College Transfer Students Performance and Experiences in Higher Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideally, developmental education programs provided in the community college accomplish their objective of enhancing the basic learning skills of under-prepared students and preparing them for further college level coursework. The number of students that place into developmental education programs in North Carolina community colleges has grown to approximately 60 percent since the initial implementation of developmental education in the 1960's. After successful completion of developmental coursework, students that enter the community college with deficiencies in basic reading, English, or math (developmental students) should exhibit performance and have experiences that are consistent with their peers who enter without those identified academic deficiencies (non-developmental students). This study compared the academic performance and experiences of developmental and non-developmental community college transfer students after their first year at the university. The participants had completed an Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), or Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A) degree from one of nine selected rural community colleges in North Carolina and matriculated into one of the 16 public universities of the University of North Carolina system. The North Carolina Transfer Student Questionnaire (NC-TSQ) was administered during the Summer of 2003. A comparative analysis of demographics, community college questions, and university questions guided the investigation into identifying differences in academic performance and experiences of the two groups at the community college and university. Using Chi-Square analysis (with Bonferroni adjustment) for nominal data and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) (with Bonferroni adjustment) for synthesized interval scales, this study reported that the two groups were quite similar in most areas assessed by the NC-TSQ. However, significant differences were identified in time of transfer, high school average grades, hours spent w.
