Book excerpt: TRIO Upward Bound is the flagship U.S. Department of Education pre-college program designed to assist potential future college students who are low-income, first-generation, or at high risk for academic failure in pursuing and completing postsecondary education. The word TRIO was used by the federal government in the late 1960s for the three original educational opportunity programs: Upward Bound; Student Support Services; and Educational Talent Search. Six additional programs were added by 1998, totaling nine TRIO programs. This qualitative research study examined the impact of TRIO Upward Bound participation length and level on participants' high school completion, college enrollment and success, civic participation, and citizenship practices. The study results revealed that former students found TRIO Upward Bound to be an effective program that not only helped them with the academic and social skills necessary to graduate from high school and complete postsecondary education, but also led to civic engagement and good citizenship practices, such as voting, paying taxes, abiding by the law, postponing parenthood, employment, and community service. In addition, I found that students who remained in the program the longest, completed the Bridge Program (the second level and final phase of the program), and officially graduated from TRIO Upward Bound obtained their Bachelor and Associate degrees at much higher rates than those with less program participation length and level. They also received the highest level of program benefits, which included the bachelor's degree and full time employment.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1997, four national studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Education have been completed on the Federal TRIO programs. Data from these studies demonstrate that participation in a TRIO program has a significant impact on the educational outcomes of low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities. This paper provides overviews of the following national studies: (1) Westat's assessment report to the U.S. Department of Education on the impact of Student Support Services (SSS); (2) Mathematica Policy Research's assessment report to the U.S. Department of Education on the impact of Talent Search on secondary and postsecondary outcomes in Texas, Indiana, and Florida; (3) Mathematica Policy Research's assessment report to the U.S. Department of Education on the impact of Upward Bound on postsecondary outcomes; and (4) Mathematica Policy Research's assessment report to the U.S. Department of Education on the impact of Upward Bound Math-Science on postsecondary completion, performance, enrollment, and participation in math and science coursework both at the high school and postsecondary level. (Contains 6 footnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the years, policymakers and advocates of the Upward Bound programs have expressed concerned about whether these college-readiness programs have been completing their objectives of helping students from disadvantaged backgrounds graduate from high school and pursue postsecondary education. Although numerous studies have been conducted to address the effect of the Upward Bound program on its participants, these studies have produced mixed results. Some research has indicated that Upward Bound produces desirable results while others maintain that Upward Bound is ineffective, therefore causing the results to be inconclusive (Devarics, 2002; Myers, Olsen, Seftor, Tuttle, and Young, 2004; Myers & Schrim, 1999; Pitre & Pitre, 2009; Viadero, 2007). This research examines the relationship between students' attendance and participation in the Upward Bound program and academic achievement. Upward Bound participants completed surveys to determine which Upward Bound activities they perceived as most helpful in preparing them for college. The results of this research indicated that the participation in Upward Bound activities had little, if any effect on academic achievement. In contrast with the quantitative data, a majority of the respondents perceived that the Jarvis Christian College Upward Bound program prepared them for college.

Book Synopsis Trio Upward Bound and Its Relationship with College Readiness for Low-income Students by : Kristalyn M. Lee
Download or read book Trio Upward Bound and Its Relationship with College Readiness for Low-income Students written by Kristalyn M. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between TRIO Upward Bound and low-income students' perception of the program. The study evaluated the significance of certain aspects of TRIO Upward Bound programming in preparing low-income students for high school graduation and enrollment in college. The findings of the study sought to display the connection between preparation for high school graduation, students' self-perception of knowledge of the college application process, and college enrollment for low-income students and their participation in TRIO Upward Bound. Data concerning background characteristics and low-income students' experiences in TRIO Upward Bound were collected via a survey. A quantitative research design was used to describe the data collected from the survey. Study results support the notion that TRIO Upward Bound is a viable option for closing the achievement gap and improving access to higher education for low-income students. Additionally, the results of the study will be helpful to college access practitioners and higher education administrators as they advocate for the importance of college preparation programs like TRIO Upward Bound.
Book Synopsis Evaluating TRIO Programs by : Yolanda Regina Carr

Book excerpt: For over four decades, Upward Bound programs have influenced students' aspirations and goals toward attending college, college enrollment, and overall educational achievement, providing a standard for successful college preparation for historically marginalized students. Although Upward Bound has helped many Americans prepare for and earn their college degrees, it has been subjected to budget challenges due to the evaluation of federal college preparation programs. Upward Bound in particular, has been contested and controversial for many years, especially as it relates to methodology and conflicting program outcomes from research studies conducted. The intent of the qualitative case study for this research was to capture the perceptions of four project directors and staff regarding the phenomenon of Upward Bound program outcomes and the Annual Performance Report (APR) currently being utilized as an evaluation tool for the U. S. Department of Education. Through this case study, the participants were able to provide personal insight into what methodologies they perceived as effective in evaluating Upward Bound programs. In addition, the case study approach allowed the analysis of the perceptions of participants based on the location and demographics of the program. The findings indicated that the participants' assessment of the APR revealed that they did not perceive it as an effective tool in reporting program outcomes and reflecting participants' success. As the U. S. Department of Education continues to stress accountability and measurable results from the directors, a well-articulated and structured evaluation process will need to be designed to assist Upward Bound directors in documenting their work for internal monitoring, other stakeholders, and the U.S. Department of Education to whom program impact and outcomes impact funding decisions.

Book excerpt: Policymakers have long been concerned about the disparities in college attendance between more and less advantaged groups of students. Upward Bound is one of the largest and longest running federal programs designed to help economically disadvantaged students prepare for, enter and succeed in college. Since December 1991, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., (MPR) has been conducting the national evaluation of Upward Bound for the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The evaluation has focused on program implementation issues and the effects of the program on student outcomes. The "impact study" is designed to measure the impacts or effects of regular Upward Bound on student outcomes, and it is based on a longitudinal evaluation in which eligible applicants from a nationally representative sample of projects were randomly assigned to Upward Bound or to a control group. The results in this document are based on the national evaluation's third follow-up data collection, which was completed in 2000. Because the entire sample of students was beyond high school age by that time, the report includes updated findings on the effects of Upward Bound on high school outcomes. In addition, based on data covering the first few years after sample members left high school, the report addresses the following research questions: (1) What effect does Upward Bound have on students' postsecondary experiences? (2) Who benefits most from Upward Bound? and (3) What is the association between staying in Upward Bound and student outcomes? Findings in this report suggest that for the average student, Upward Bound: (1) increased the number of high school math credits earned by participants; (2) did not affect other measures of high school academic preparation; (3) may have increased enrollment at four-year institutions; and (4) did not affect enrollment at postsecondary institutions more generally when all types of postsecondary institutions are considered. Appended are: (1) Sample Design Unit Nonresponse and Weights; (2) Baseline Characteristics of the Treatment and Control Groups, Third Follow-Up Survey Respondents; (3) Program Effects and Standard Errors; (4) The Effect of Upward Bound on High School Outcomes by Selected Subgroups; (5) The Effect of Upward Bound on College Engagement by Selected Subgroups; (6) Methods Used to Estimate the Effects of Additional Upward Bound Participation; (7) Weighted Standard Deviations for All Outcome Variables; (8) Data Collection; and (9) Sample Sizes and Standard Errors for Reported Impact Estimates. (Contains 29 tables and 3 figures.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative research study used critical narrative inquiry methods to investigate the experiences of TRIO Upward Bound Program alumni during their program participation, and to explore how those experiences, according to participants' own accounts, influenced their creation of a college-college going culture in their households for their own children. TRIO Upward Bound is a federally funded college access program that serves first-generation, low-income high school students, providing support and motivation to pursue higher education. Study participants were alumni of TRIO Upward Bound Programs in the state of Ohio who have earned a baccalaureate degree or higher, and are now the parents of college-enrolled or college-graduated children. The theoretical frameworks utilized in these analyses were cultural and social capital, and funds of knowledge. Study participants described receiving assistance with their high school-to-college transition, academic support, and mentoring through their participation in Upward Bound. They also shared that Upward Bound exposed them to experiences that increased their cultural and social capital, building upon the funds of knowledge they had received from their parents and other family members. The participants further recounted how they used their Upward Bound Program experiences to shape college-going cultures in their homes, and create pathways into higher education for their children. Implications for practice involving student recruitment, alumni connections, and creating college-going cultures are detailed, as well as implications for policy that include increased funding for TRIO Programs, participant tracking beyond six years after high school graduation, and changes in federal reporting structures.

Download or read book Does Upward Bound Have an Effect on Student Educational Outcomes? written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stated goal of Upward Bound (UB) is to increase the rate at which traditionally disadvantaged students graduate from high school and enroll in and graduate from postsecondary educational institutions. Past experimental studies of Upward Bound have found it to be generally ineffective in improving these student educational outcomes. However, my review of the studies revealed apparent methodological and analysis problems. Analyses to date have not fully addressed these issues prior to estimation, and therefore led to the production of potentially inaccurate estimates. After addressing these problems, I found that UB improves the high school and postsecondary outcomes for low-income, first generation students who took part in the experiment. Specifically I found evidence that suggests UB increases high school graduation rates by 4.5 percentage points, post-secondary education enrollment rates by 2.9 percentage points and post-secondary completion rates by 4.6 percentage points for the intent to treat (ITT) population when using a covariate adjusted model with trimmed sampling weights to compare the treatment and control groups. In addition, I found some evidence of effect heterogeneity: students who might be typically declared ineligible for UB participation had post-secondary completion rates 8.4 percentage points higher than typically eligible students; the effects are positive but smaller for typically eligible students. In contrast, researchers of the UB experiment found no evidence of treatment effects on high school graduation or post-secondary enrollment, and did not explore effect heterogeneity according to eligibility. One possible reason for the differences in post-secondary results is that I do not have access to all the post-secondary data sources that were used in the Horizons study. There are two major implications of my findings. First, UB can be used to reduce high school dropout rates. Second, UB eligibility screening processes, such as those that were in place during the time of the Horizons study, should be amended to facilitate the participation of typically ineligible students. While the results from prior analyses are not robust to weighting methods, the covariate-adjusted models are more robust. Overall, there is compelling evidence that UB can narrow attainment gaps between students from low and high-income households.

Download or read book Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.
