This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, students who were parents were a rarity in college classrooms, but by the beginning of the twenty-first century, over a quarter of all undergraduate students were parents. In Back in School, A. Fiona Pearson explores how these student parents navigate cultural norms and institutional resources, forging pathways as they journey to become better parents and successful students. Back in School examines how policy makers, professors, college administrators, counselors, and social workers provide or deny access to child care, tutoring, financial aid, or other campus- or community-based resources. Pearson further explores how social norms and governmental and organizational policies influence access to these resources and student parents’ experiences on campus and at home.

Book excerpt: College choice is one of the most significant decisions a family will make. Families with high socioeconomic status often hire independent educational consultants (IEC) to assist their family in college search activities. A review of the literature indicated a gap in the literature regarding IECs’ understanding of the factors which influence their client families in making the decision of whether to include a school in the family’s consideration set. The purpose of this mixed methods sequential explanatory study was to investigate and explore the factors that IECs believe would likely influence families as they build their consideration set for their traditionally-aged, first-time undergraduate students. The study was guided by two research questions: 1. How do IECs rank the factors that influence parents to include a school in their traditionally-aged undergraduate student’s consideration set? 2. How do IECs describe the factors that influence parents of prospective undergraduate students? In Phase 1, a Q-sort activity was completed by IECs (n = 33) recruited from throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In Phase 2, IECs (n = 5) participated in a dyad and triad to ascertain rich insights regarding the factors that they believe would most likely influence parents on the inclusion of a school in their family’s consideration set. Data from Phase 1 were analyzed using SPSS software and qmethodsoftware.com including factor analysis of the Q-sort configurations (Watts & Stenner, 2005). Phase 2 data were analyzed using a systematic analysis of the transcripts for each dyad and triad using similar coding across transcripts to uncover common themes (Kruger & Casey, 2009). Findings from both phases were analyzed for convergence and divergence. The results of the study indicate that IECs believe that cost, the availability of scholarships, the distance from home, parents of other college students, and the US News and World Report rankings all influence whether a family includes a school in their consideration set. Results may be used to inform decision-making by higher education marketers and enrollment managers as they create outreach strategies that will influence full or fuller pay families to include their schools in the family’s consideration set.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of family cohesion and relationship maintenance behaviors on students' experience of stress during the adjustment to college. One hundred and ninety-eight first-year college students completed measures assessing family cohesion; relationship maintenance behaviors expressed within their family systems; and academic, social, and personal-emotional stress. Results indicated that family cohesion is significantly and negatively related to students' experiences of academic, social, and personal-emotional stress. Further, hierarchical regression and structural equation modeling provided insight to the additive influence of relationship maintenance behaviors on student stress. Analyses provided limited support for a mediation model, however, results demonstrated the importance of both family cohesion and relationship maintenance behaviors on academic, social, and personal-emotional stress during students' transitions to college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, millions of high school students consider whether to continue their schooling and attend and complete college. Despite evidence showing that a college degree yields far-reaching benefits, critics of higher education increasingly argue that college “does not pay off” and some students - namely, disadvantaged prospective college goers - would be better served by forgoing higher education. But debates about the value of college often fail to carefully consider what is required to speak knowledgeably about the benefits –what a person’s life might look like had they not completed college, or their college counterfactual. In Overcoming the Odds sociologist Jennie E. Brand reveals the benefits of completing college by comparing life outcomes of college graduates with their college counterfactuals. Drawing on two cohorts of nationally representative data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Longitudinal Surveys program, Brand uses matching and machine learning methods to estimate the effects of college completion across students with varying likelihoods of completing four-year degrees. To illustrate her findings, Brand describes outcomes using matched vignettes of college and non-college graduates. Brand shows that four-year college completion enables graduates to increase wages and household income, while also circumventing unemployment, low-wage work, job instability, poverty, and social assistance. Completing college also increases civic engagement. Most of these benefits are larger for disadvantaged than for more advantaged students, rendering arguments that college has limited benefits for unlikely graduates as flawed. Brand concludes that greater long-term earnings, and less job instability and unemployment, and thus more tax revenue, less reliance on public assistance, and high levels of volunteering indicate that public investment in higher education for students from disadvantaged backgrounds yields far-reaching collective benefits. She asserts that it is better for our society when more people complete college. Overcoming the Odds is an innovative and enlightening exploration of how college can transform lives.

Book excerpt: The American higher education system has seen massive growth over the past half century. Yet despite expanded access, degree attainment remains tightly linked to socioeconomic status. Students from economically disadvantaged families continue to lag far behind their wealthier peers in rates of degree completion. Research examining the role of parents and family during college has frequently portrayed low-income families one-dimensionally as inhibiting their children's postsecondary opportunities by lacking important financial and educational resources. Yet there is emerging evidence that these parents can and do provide important forms of support to children once they are in college. This dissertation examines the family dynamics patterns of economically disadvantaged college students, and their related influence on first-year college adjustment and second-year persistence. The study draws on theories of family capital and family kinscripts to frame social support between low-income college students and their families as a two-way exchange process. Using quantitative and student interview data from a unique statewide sample of traditional-aged low-income undergraduates, the study highlights the many ways that disadvantaged families support their children in college, but also illuminates the complex trade offs low-income students may face when navigating the pursuit of individual goals alongside responsibilities to fulfill family obligations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing look at the experiences of first generation students on elite campuses and the hidden curriculum they must master in order to succeed College has long been viewed as an opportunity for advancement and mobility for talented students regardless of background. Yet for first generation students, elite universities can often seem like bastions of privilege, with unspoken academic norms and social rules. The Hidden Curriculum draws on more than one hundred in-depth interviews with students at Harvard and Georgetown to offer vital lessons about the challenges of being the first in the family to go to college, while also providing invaluable insights into the hurdles that all undergraduates face. As Rachel Gable follows two cohorts of first generation students and their continuing generation peers, she discovers surprising similarities as well as striking differences in their college experiences. She reveals how the hidden curriculum at legacy universities often catches first generation students off guard, and poignantly describes the disorienting encounters on campus that confound them and threaten to derail their success. Gable shows how first-gens are as varied as any other demographic group, and urges universities to make the most of the diverse perspectives and insights these talented students have to offer. The Hidden Curriculum gives essential guidance on the critical questions that university leaders need to consider as they strive to support first generation students on campus, and demonstrates how universities can balance historical legacies and elite status with practices and policies that are equitable and inclusive for all students.

Download or read book Nontraditional-age Students and College Completion written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation focuses on an important higher education policy issue: college completion of nontraditional-age students and the role that individual and institutional attributes play in support of their outcomes. To address this area of concern, my dissertation examines the effects of student background characteristics, collegiate and noncollegiate experiences, financial aid programs, and institutional characteristics on nontraditional-age students' college persistence and completion. Building upon the Nontraditional Student Attrition Model (Bean & Metzner, 1985) and the Ecological Human Development Model (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), I propose the ecological nontraditional student persistence model as a conceptual framework to examine the topic. I use data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:04/09). Adopting descriptive and logistic regression analyses, my dissertation illuminates how persistence and degree attainment are associated with the aforementioned variables. Findings suggest that female nontraditional-age students are disadvantaged in college completion while nontraditional-age students with higher family incomes and who are frequently involved in social activities on campus report are advantaged, as are federal and institutional grant recipients. Because nontraditional-age students are a particularly underserved student population at four-year institutions, academic programs and student services should be tailored to their needs. I also suggest revisiting a matrix for financial aid programs for working nontraditional-age students, and awarding credits for prior learning.
