Book excerpt: The study examined the degree to which Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) was effective in mitigating student deficits in academic preparation, financial capital, and cultural capital in a community college district. Regression analyses were conducted to describe the effect student participation in EOPS had on student success in their coursework, student persistence, units earned, and cumulative grade point average. The analysis controlled for differences in gender, age, ethnicity, enrollment status (first-time student or first-time transfer) educational goal, academic preparation, parent or guardian education level, and economic status. The results of the regression analysis did not support the study hypotheses which contended that the EOPS participants in the study sample would outperform their peers with similar academic preparation, access to financial capital, and access to cultural capital in measures of course success, persistence, and cumulative units earned. However, the results of the regression analysis did indicate that participation in EOPS had a positive impact on cumulative GPA among economically disadvantaged students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student Success in Community Colleges As more and more underprepared students enroll in college, basic skills education is an increasing concern for all higher education institutions. Student Success in Community Colleges offers education leaders, administrators, faculty, and staff an essential resource for helping these students succeed and advance in college. By applying the book's self-assessment instrument, colleges can pinpoint how their current activities align with the most effective proven practices. Once the gaps are identified, community college leaders can determine the best strategic direction for improvement. Drawing on a broad knowledge base and illustrative examples from the most current literature, the authors cover organizational, administrative, and instructional practices; program components; student support services and strategies; and professional learning and development. Designed to help engage community college leadership and practitioners in addressing the practices, structures, and obstacles that enhance or impede the success of basic skills students, the book's strategies can be tailored to various institutional levels, showing how to unite faculty, staff, and administrators in a cooperative effort to effect institutional change. Finally, Student Success in Community Colleges reveals how investing in a comprehensive basic skills infrastructure can be a financially sustainable model for the institution as well as substantially beneficial to students and society. "This is a most unusual and valuable book; it is packed with careful analysis and practical suggestions for improving basic skills programs in community colleges. Compiled by a team of practicing professionals in teaching, administration, and research, it is knowledgeable about what has been done and imaginative and practical about what can be done to improve the access and success of community college students." K. Patricia Cross, professor of higher education, emerita, University of California, Berkeley "For its first hundred years the community college was committed primarily to access; in its second hundred years the commitment has changed dramatically to success. This book provides the best road map to date on how community colleges can reach that goal." Terry O'Banion, president emeritus, League for Innovation, and director, Community College Leadership Program, Walden University "This guide is the most comprehensive source of information about all facets of basic skills or developmental education. It will be invaluable not just to community college educators across the nation, but also to those in high schools and four-year colleges who share similar problems." W. Norton Grubb, David Gardner Chair in Higher Education, University of California, Berkeley

This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student wellbeing is foundational to academic success. One recent survey of postsecondary educators found that nearly 80 percent believed emotional wellbeing is a "very" or "extremely" important factor in student success. Studies have found the dropout rates for students with a diagnosed mental health problem range from 43 percent to as high as 86 percent. While dealing with stress is a normal part of life, for some students, stress can adversely affect their physical, emotional, and psychological health, particularly given that adolescence and early adulthood are when most mental illnesses are first manifested. In addition to students who may develop mental health challenges during their time in postsecondary education, many students arrive on campus with a mental health problem or having experienced significant trauma in their lives, which can also negatively affect physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. The nation's institutions of higher education are seeing increasing levels of mental illness, substance use and other forms of emotional distress among their students. Some of the problematic trends have been ongoing for decades. Some have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic consequences. Some are the result of long-festering systemic racism in almost every sphere of American life that are becoming more widely acknowledged throughout society and must, at last, be addressed. Mental Health, Substance Use, and Wellbeing in Higher Education lays out a variety of possible strategies and approaches to meet increasing demand for mental health and substance use services, based on the available evidence on the nature of the issues and what works in various situations. The recommendations of this report will support the delivery of mental health and wellness services by the nation's institutions of higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California community colleges have a completion crisis problem, with over 70% of students failing to graduate. This study was conducted to identify effective support services in the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) program, which serves marginalized community college students. This EOPS program study surveyed almost 2,000 EOPS students, who are served in 14 community colleges in the Los Angeles region, to explore effective support services that lead to positive retention and completion outcomes. The study had three phases: (a) the review of retention data of EOPS students in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), (b) the EOPS student survey, and (c) the EOPS staff survey. The study revealed that the most used EOPS support services by students were (a) EOPS counseling, (b) book vouchers/grants, (c) student educational planning, and (d) priority registration. Student respondents revealed the most impactful EOPS support services were (a) book vouchers/grants, (b) EOPS counseling, (c) cash grants, (d) student educational planning, and (e) priority registration. Similarly, the EOPS staff ranked the most impactful support services as (a) EOPS counseling, (b) book vouchers/grants, and (c) priority registration. The services least used by respondents were (a) foster youth support, (b) the Cooperative Resources Agencies for Education (CARE) program for single parents, and (c) graduation assistance. The least impactful services ranked by the EOPS staff were (a) foster youth support services, (b) gift cards, and (c) graduation assistance. These results indicate that staff hold similar views to their students of the top EOPS services. Such similarity in ranking also indicates that students share with the program's staff an understanding of what is most impactful and where they believe resources should be most effectively directed. The study also reviewed retention rates of EOPS students versus non-EOPS students at all nine colleges in LACCD, and revealed that EOPS students' retention rates were over 20% higher than non-EOPS students. These results indicate that EOPS is operating effectively to improve retention rates for participants. The intent of this study was to identify effective support services in the EOPS program to determine which services students used and valued, to identify which services EOPS staff thought were helpful, and to examine retention and completion rates systemwide. After reviewing and analyzing the data, the evaluation showed that the study's objectives had been achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the twentieth century, the definition of success for most community colleges revolved around student retention and graduation. This definition no longer works—if it ever did. In Student Success in the Community College: What Really Works? respected community college leaders, researchers, and innovators argue that student success is about redesigning community colleges in a manner that is consistent with each college’s mission, goals, student population, and resources. Concluding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to increasing student success, chapter authors analyze national, state, and regional efforts to increase student success; identify principles institutions can use to frame student success initiatives; and outline specific actions community colleges can take to increase student—and institutional—success. Student Success in the Community College: What Really Works? also provides concrete examples of effective student success initiatives in a variety of community college settings.

IN addition, each chapter offer numerous examples of best practices in community college student affairs programming. This is the 131st volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to higher education is no longer enough. The issue of the achievement gap between Black and Hispanic students on the one hand and White and Asian students on the other do not disappear when these students enter college. The consequences of this achievement gap are felt most keenly by the Black and Hispanic students in the post-secondary years of education as they are required to complete remediation courses in college before proceeding to take college level coursework that counts towards degree completion. One of the key reasons for this achievement gap is the higher probability of minority students from disadvantaged backgrounds dropping out of college due to remediation requirements (Attewell, Lavin, Domina, & Levey, 2006; Carroll, 2007; Venezia, Kirst, & Antonio, 2003). Remedial education is one means by which colleges attempt to help underprepared college students succeed in college-level coursework. This dissertation is a quantitative analysis of the transition to college and the subsequent academic performance of underprepared college students at a public, four-year, minority-serving institution of higher education. The study examines the effect of remediation and student support programs provided at this institution to assist underprepared students succeed. The study combines the use of regression discontinuity design and multiple regressions to provide insight on the effect of remediation and student support programs on the academic outcomes of these students. Data from this study suggest that remediation alone, as it is currently delivered, is not effective in helping improve student outcomes. Student support programs show greater evidence of helping improve the academic outcomes of these students. Further research on a broader scale is needed as the generalizability of the student sample in this study is limited. Improved measures of academic outcomes are also recommended to better analyze the effect of remediation, support programs and other interventions needed to help underprepared students succeed in college.

Book excerpt: This volume profiles some of the innovative reforms community college practitioners are engaged in, focusing on supporting students through to graduation. While much has been written at the federal and state levels about the need to improve student completion rates, this volume translates that imperative into action at the campus level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the unique issues related to the delivery of student services in the community college setting, this book fills a longstanding need to provide practitioners with a contextual framework for their work. Starting by providing the historical context to the development of student affairs in community colleges, this handbook describes the organization of key functions and current practice, and looks at the specific constraints, opportunities, changes and future challenges that practitioners face. Community colleges are grappling with: the realities of shrinking resources; an increasingly diverse and disparate student body, with many attending part-time; demands for greater accountability; a generational change in leadership; and pressures to expand their missions as well as adopt educational technology - all of which have an impact on the role of student affairs. Among the topics covered are: Partnering with Academic Affairs; Financing Student Affairs; Legal and Policy Issues; Strategic Planning and Assessment; Accreditation and Accountability; Technology for Communication and Engagement; Academic Support Services; Student Life and Student Engagement Programs and Services; Enrollment Management; and Services for Special Populations. This handbook is intended for student affairs administrators and professionals at all stages of their careers, as well as for students in graduate preparation programs.
