Download or read book Improving Research Based Knowledge of College Promise Programs written by Laura W. Perna and published by American Educational Research Association. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Also known as free tuition and free college programs, college promise programs are an emerging approach for increasing higher education attainment of people in particular places. To maximize the effectiveness of their efforts and investments, program leaders and policymakers need research-based evidence to inform program design, implementation, and evaluation. With the goal of addressing this knowledge need, this volume presents a collection of research studies that examine several categories and variations of college promise programs. These theoretically grounded empirical investigations use varied data sources and analytic techniques to examine the effects of college promise programs that have different design features and operate in different places. Individually and collectively, the results of these studies have implications for the design and implementation of promise programs if these programs are to create meaningful improvements in attainment for people from underserved groups. The authors efforts also provide a useful foundation for the next generation of college promise research.

Download or read book High School Dropout Graduation and Completion Rates written by National Academy of Education and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-04-17 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High school graduation and dropout rates have long been used as indicators of educational system productivity and effectiveness and of social and economic well being. While determining these rates may seem like a straightforward task, their calculation is in fact quite complicated. How does one count a student who leaves a regular high school but later completes a GED? How does one count a student who spends most of his/her high school years at one school and then transfers to another? If the student graduates, which school should receive credit? If the student drops out, which school should take responsibility? High School Dropout, Graduation, and Completion Rates addresses these issues and to examine (1) the strengths, limitations, accuracy, and utility of the available dropout and completion measures; (2) the state of the art with respect to longitudinal data systems; and (3) ways that dropout and completion rates can be used to improve policy and practice.

Book excerpt: Two-year state and community colleges provide convenient and affordable educational opportunities with open admissions policies, which make them "value-added institutions that are uniquely different than traditional colleges and universities" (Grubbs, 2020, pages 205). Students across the nation enroll in 2-year colleges to pursue their academic goals because of distinct variations, which include flexible admissions and enrollment policies. However, the lack of deadlines at open-access institutions may contribute to entry and retention challenges for students who apply late, particularly for those who may be un- or under-prepared for college. Few studies have considered the relationship between admissions application timing, characteristics of traditional first-time in college students, and 1st-semester academic outcomes, which was the focus for this research. The study population was chosen because admissions offices have greater access to high school students through recruitment efforts such as college fairs and classroom visits. Central to this work were the hypotheses that applicants who apply early in their senior year tend to have higher high school GPAs, are more likely to enroll in the fall following high school graduation with better 1st-semester outcomes and are more inclined to return in the subsequent spring semester. The study involved an examination of admissions application data for 3,479 first-time, 1st-semester applicants who applied to a public college with open access policies requiring only a standard high school diploma or GED. Demographic data, high school academic performance, and factors related to college preparation were collected from the institution's student information system and the date the admissions application was submitted. The study population was limited to high school seniors who applied to the institution for the fall semester immediately following graduation. The hypotheses were analyzed using chi-square tests, ANOVA, and a series of regression models. Variables related to admissions application timing, which were segmented into distinct recruitment periods to include the fall prior to high school graduation, spring of high school graduation, and summer after high school graduation, were used across all models. These periods correspond to blocks of time representing opportunities for admissions offices to implement targeted and actionable strategies to influence first-time student enrollments. The analysis of the models suggested variations in student characteristics across the recruitment periods. Students who apply to an institution with open access policies in the fall prior to their high school graduation tend to enter with higher GPAs and although they enroll at a lower rate, they are more likely to attempt and earn more credit hours in their 1st semester. Additionally, earlier applicants tend to have higher 1st semester GPAs and yet are less likely to return for the subsequent spring semester. In contrast, applicants who apply to the institution in the summer after high school graduation have lower high school GPAs and 1st semester academic outcomes if they enrolled. The results of the study indicate applicant characteristics vary depending on when first-time, 1st-year students apply to the institution, and these findings may influence strategies admissions offices at open-access institutions employ to attract and enroll traditional high school students while also considering initiatives to increase first semester student outcomes.

Download or read book Understanding how Students Manage the Transition from an Early College High School to a Four year Institution of Higher Education written by Roberta Mae Rincon and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to improve the college completion rates of low-income and minority students, the early college high school model was introduced in 2002. Early college high schools offer students the opportunity to earn an associate’s degree upon high school graduation by providing access to college-bearing courses. This model has resulted in high school graduates entering four-year institutions of higher education as juniors and seniors rather than traditional freshmen. This research presents findings from a case study of students attending a four-year university in Texas. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with university students that had transitioned from an early college high school. This study focuses on understanding the internal and institutional factors that help students manage the transition from an early college high school into a university environment. Findings show that external support systems play a significant role before, during, and after the transition. These findings indicate a need for clear communication between early college high schools, community colleges, universities, and students. Based upon the findings, I present implications for policy and practice and suggestions for future research.
