Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improve student outcomes with a new approach to relationships and networks Relationships matter. Who You Know explores this simple idea to give teachers and school administrators a fresh perspective on how to break the pattern of inequality in American classrooms. It reveals how schools can invest in the power of relationships to increase social mobility for their students. Discussions about inequality often focus on achievement gaps. But opportunity is about more than just test scores. Opportunity gaps are a function of not just what students know, but who they know. This book explores the central role that relationships play in young people’s lives, and provides guidance for a path forward. Schools can: Integrate student support models that increase access to caring adults in students’ lives Invest in learning models that strengthen teacher-student relationships Deploy emerging technologies that expand students’ networks to experts and mentors from around world Exploring the latest tools, data, and real-world examples, this book provides evidence-based guidance for educators looking to level the playing field and expert analysis on how policymakers and entrepreneurs can help. Networks need no longer be limited by geography or circumstance. By making room for relationships, K-12 schools can transform themselves into hubs of next-generation learning and connecting. Who You Know explains how.

Download or read book Student Services for Adult Undergraduate Students at Virginia s Four year Colleges written by Kathryn Danielle Soule and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the student services offered to adult students at the four-year undergraduate colleges and universities in Virginia. Three particular aspects of the services were investigated: 1) discover the student services currently available to adult undergraduate students at the four-year institutions, 2) determine which of these services were successful or unsuccessful in attracting adult students, and 3) ascertain if there were additional student services needed to accommodate their students. The adult students were defined as being at least 25 years old and enrolled in full- or part-time undergraduate course work in any program at Virginia's 15 public and 27 private four-year undergraduate colleges. A survey instrument was developed and administered to the chief student affairs officers at the institutions studied. The survey provided a list of student services that were culled from the literature and modified according to the results of a pre-test. The 65 services were grouped into thirteen categories. Respondents indicated if the services were available at the institutions, and if so, indicated on a Likert scale the degree of success in attracting adult students to the service. In addition, an open-ended question enabled the respondents to expand upon additional services that were necessary to accommodate adult students. Surveys were distributed to all 42 targeted institutions. Eight of the 15 (52%) public colleges returned surveys, and 18 of the 27 (67%) private colleges reported. Respondents indicated that 50 of the 65 student services listed in the survey were available at the majority of the public institutions, and 40 of the 65 student services were available at the majority of the private institutions. Three services were considered "very successful," 61 were considered "successful" and one service was considered "not successful." Although there were individual services that adequately met the needs of the adult students, it was determined that modifications are needed for all services listed in the survey. This study also suggested that the four-year undergraduate institutions in Virginia should continually evaluate their student services in order to attract and serve the adult student population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the individual perspectives and experiences of adult college students and their life contexts, resources, and demands experienced as they engage in the college environment and explore how adult college students utilize developmental regulation strategies to overcome goal conflict and achieve success while balancing work, life, and education. The study explored adult college students through a lifespan developmental lens guided by the Selective Optimization with Compensation theoretical framework. Particular focus was on age-graded influences to provide a nuanced understanding of adult student development. The author presented results from a mixed method investigation of adult students at a Midwestern Metropolitan University. The explanatory design utilized a two-phase structure to understand the contextual and background characteristics of adult students though a first phase demographic survey followed by a second phase of three purposefully selected focus group discussions of adult students age 25--29, 30--39, and 40 and older to further examine the resource utilization and self-regulation behaviors of adult students enrolled in academic programs at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. The results enhanced the understanding of the selection, optimization, and compensation behaviors that adult students, within and across age groups, utilize to reach their goals. This informs development of interventions to assist adult students in goal striving and indicates promise for further investigation of adult student development and retention research and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few books have ever made their presence felt on college campuses—and newspaper opinion pages—as quickly and thoroughly as Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa’s 2011 landmark study of undergraduates’ learning, socialization, and study habits, Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses. From the moment it was published, one thing was clear: no university could afford to ignore its well-documented and disturbing findings about the failings of undergraduate education. Now Arum and Roksa are back, and their new book follows the same cohort of undergraduates through the rest of their college careers and out into the working world. Built on interviews and detailed surveys of almost a thousand recent college graduates from a diverse range of colleges and universities, Aspiring Adults Adrift reveals a generation facing a difficult transition to adulthood. Recent graduates report trouble finding decent jobs and developing stable romantic relationships, as well as assuming civic and financial responsibility—yet at the same time, they remain surprisingly hopeful and upbeat about their prospects. Analyzing these findings in light of students’ performance on standardized tests of general collegiate skills, selectivity of institutions attended, and choice of major, Arum and Roksa not only map out the current state of a generation too often adrift, but enable us to examine the relationship between college experiences and tentative transitions to adulthood. Sure to be widely discussed, Aspiring Adults Adrift will compel us once again to re-examine the aims, approaches, and achievements of higher education.
Download or read book Creating a Place for Adult Learners in Higher Education written by Amy D. Rose and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating a Place for Adult Learners in Higher Education offers deep insights into how to attract, teach, support, and retain students over the age of 25 – an important yet often overlooked student group. Comprehensive in scope, this book covers all the main aspects of adult students’ relationships with higher education institutions: recruitment, admissions, and financing; course and program provision and teaching approaches; and student support, retention, and completion. The discussion is bolstered by chapters of analysis on adult student demographics (including both diversities and commonalities), exploration of leadership challenges, and discussion of measurements of success. Drawing from the most up-to-date research as well as practical experience and descriptions of best practices by programs historically serving adults, the authors provide a broad set of strategies and recommendations to place adult students at the center of the educational process. Higher education leaders, practitioners, and administrators will find this book an invaluable resource as they seek to better account for and support this key student group, which now comprises approximately 30% of the US undergraduate population.
