Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2010, the General Assembly passed the Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA), a comprehensive reform agenda that seeks to transform public higher education through changes in academic, fiscal and administrative policies at the state and institutional levels. While the higher education landscape has been shaped by the CCTA, higher education is evolving to adopt Governor Bill Haslam's statewide reform agenda, collectively known as the "Drive to 55." Calendar year 2015 ushered in a new long-range plan, the 2015-2025 Master Plan for Tennessee Postsecondary Education, which sets the stage for continued transformational change in Tennessee higher education. This plan seeks to: (1) make dramatic increases in degree production and efficiency; (2) within available resources (state operating appropriations plus tuition); (3) without diminishing educational quality; (4) thereby improving community, county, and statewide postsecondary attainment; (5) to support improvements in workforce capacity and quality as well as economic and community (i.e., workplace) development. The success of this goal relies largely on the recruitment, retention, and completion of adults in higher education. Tennessee Reconnect, the adult-focused efforts of the Drive to 55, works to engage the over 900,000 Tennessee adults over 25 who have some college but have not completed their degree, and the 1.4 million Tennesseans over 25 with only a high school degree. Beyond meeting baseline metrics for labor market demand, state-level initiatives intend to ensure that postsecondary education is a viable option for any adult Tennessean who chooses to pursue it. This is accomplished by: (1) providing research for building the policy framework; (2) coordinating community and regional initiatives; (3) developing and leveraging employer and workforce partnerships; (4) supporting and building capacity within institutions to serve adults more effectively; and, (5) supporting and reaching out to adult learners. In order to more deeply understand and illustrate the importance and condition of adult learners in Tennessee higher education, we must analyze and report the rich data we have access to in our state. In 2015, The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) released the first edition of this THEC Fact Book focused solely on adult learners to provide institutional faculty and staff, state higher education policy leaders and non-profit organizations the context of adult student participation and success in Tennessee higher education. The purpose through all Tennessee Reconnect initiatives is to further understand the complexities, challenges and barriers facing adult learners in Tennessee in order to inform and influence state and institutional policy, support various community and state partnerships and build capacity within the state's institutions to more effectively support and reach out to adult learners. This fact book contains tables and charts with data relevant to Tennessee public institution profiles, adult student participation, adult student success, and Tennessee reconnect program updates. A glossary is also included. [For the " Tennessee Higher Education Adult Student Fact Book: 2014-2015," see ED572970.].

While the higher education landscape has been shaped by the CCTA, higher education is evolving to adopt Governor Bill Haslam's statewide reform agenda, collectively known as the "Drive to 55." The goal of the Drive to 55 is to raise the proportion of the state's working-age population with college credentials to 55 percent by the year 2025. The success of this goal relies largely on the recruitment, retention, and completion of adults in higher education. Tennessee Reconnect, the adult-focused efforts of the Drive to 55, works to engage the over 900,000 Tennessee adults over 25 who have some college but have not completed their degree, and the 1.4 million Tennesseans over 25 with only a high school degree.

Book excerpt: "While the federal government seeks to promote educational attainment and equity through its extensive investment in student financial aid, states have primary responsibility for policies that affect the educational attainment of their populations. Despite the centrality of state policy, however, we know relatively little about the relationship between state policy and these outcomes. This book addresses this knowledge gap. Drawing on data collected from descriptive case studies of the relationship between public policy and higher education performance in five states (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Texas, and Washington), this book offers a more complete conceptual framework for understanding how state public policy can promote educational attainment. The resulting framework has five central tenets that help us understanding how to improve overall educational attainment and increase equity in that attainment. At its core, the model assumes that higher education performance is determined by effective state policy leadership for higher education. The book also illustrates the need for state policies that reduce the cumulative negative implications of policies that perpetuate differences in educational outcomes across groups and that proactively address the barriers that limit educational attainment for underachieving groups. This book has important implications for public policymakers, college and university leaders, educational researchers and others who are interested in understanding how public policy can improve educational attainment and equity in attainment across groups"-- Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the striking ways in which state governments have pursued better performance in public higher education is through the use of performance funding. Performance funding involves tying state support directly to institutional performance on specific outcomes such as rates of graduation and job placement. The principal rationale for performance funding has been that the introduction of market-like forces will prod institutions to become more efficient, delivering "more bang for the buck." Kevin Dougherty, an expert on state performance funding, finds its development puzzling. First, despite the great interest in it, only half the states have ever adopted performance funding for higher education. Moreover, of the states that did adopt performance funding, over half later dropped it. Finally, in the states that have retained performance funding over a long period of time, their programs have undergone considerable changes in the amount of state funding they devote to performance funding and in the content of the indicators they use to allocate that funding. In spite of this, performance funding continues to attract interest as a way of improving educational outcomes. This book, based on an extensive ten-state study, aims to shed light on the social and political factors affecting the origins, evolution, and demise of these programs"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “bracing and well-argued” study of America’s college debt crisis—“necessary reading for anyone concerned about the fate of American higher education” (Kirkus). College is far too expensive for many people today, and the confusing mix of federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid leaves countless students without the resources they need to pay for it. In Paying the Price, education scholar Sara Goldrick-Rab reveals the devastating effect of these shortfalls. Goldrick-Rab examines a study of 3,000 students who used the support of federal aid and Pell Grants to enroll in public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008. Half the students in the study left college without a degree, while less than 20 percent finished within five years. The cause of their problems, time and again, was lack of money. Unable to afford tuition, books, and living expenses, they worked too many hours at outside jobs, dropped classes, took time off to save money, and even went without adequate food or housing. In many heartbreaking cases, they simply left school—not with a degree, but with crippling debt. Goldrick-Rab combines that data with devastating stories of six individual students, whose struggles make clear the human and financial costs of our convoluted financial aid policies. In the final section of the book, Goldrick-Rab offers a range of possible solutions, from technical improvements to the financial aid application process, to a bold, public sector–focused “first degree free” program. "Honestly one of the most exciting books I've read, because [Goldrick-Rab has] solutions. It's a manual that I'd recommend to anyone out there, if you're a parent, if you're a teacher, if you're a student."—Trevor Noah, The Daily Show

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as the number of students attending college has more than doubled in the past forty years, it is still the case that nearly half of all college students in the United States will not complete their degree within six years. It is clear that much remains to be done toward improving student success. For more than twenty years, Vincent Tinto’s pathbreaking book Leaving College has been recognized as the definitive resource on student retention in higher education. Now, with Completing College, Tinto offers administrators a coherent framework with which to develop and implement programs to promote completion. Deftly distilling an enormous amount of research, Tinto identifies the essential conditions enabling students to succeed and continue on within institutions. Especially during the early years, he shows that students thrive in settings that pair high expectations for success with structured academic, social, and financial support, provide frequent feedback and assessments of their performance, and promote their active involvement with other students and faculty. And while these conditions may be worked on and met at different institutional levels, Tinto points to the classroom as the center of student education and life, and therefore the primary target for institutional action. Improving retention rates continues to be among the most widely studied fields in higher education, and Completing College carefully synthesizes the latest research and, most importantly, translates it into practical steps that administrators can take to enhance student success.
