At the heart of The Cardinal Advocacy and Resource Center is the conviction that education is a basic human right, essential to a thriving democracy. We recognize that to support our students through completion, students often need assistance outside of the classroom. Affording students the tools to reduce basic needs insecurity and learn to advocate for themselves is a priority at the CARC. Available to all students enrolled in at least 3 hours, the CARC is more than just a food and clothing pantry. Equitable access to basic needs includes assistance for, but not limited to, transportation, child-care, housing, food, technology, and emergency funding. Holistic support is also available to meet students where they area. We work to ensure students basic needs are met so they can focus on their academic success. Learning to be an advocate for themselves is another important function of the CARC. To that end, we provide students with an updated and comprehensive resource guide to allow students to easily locate and find services at the time they need it.

Coordinated Care Network
Rating
0.0 stars

SHSU is a partner of Navigate EAB and utilizes this technology as our primary student success management system. The Coordinated Care Network is a function of Navigate EAB and has been employed at SHSU as a retention-based partnership across several divisions. The Coordinated Care Network supports student success by bridging institutional efforts in receiving and triaging student alerts and referrals through Campus Connect (Navigate EAB). When faculty or staff issue an alert or referral, Campus Connect is configured to enact a chain of technology driven events to connect the student with the expert department who then provides appropriate intervention. Additionally, we target high-needs students to submit an alert or referral on themselves to receive assistance with their particular need(s). Overall, students who are alerted through the Coordinated Care Network and/or self-alert process experience positive gains in credit completion, term GPA outcomes, and persistence rates.

Corequisite Developmental Education Model

Some Rights Reserved
Rating
0.0 stars

The corequisite model at Amarillo College, for math and English, is a paired model with a 3-hour transfer course and a 3-hour support course. The corequisite model decreases time to completion by enrolling academically underprepared students in transfer-level classes, thereby eliminating the elongated timeline of the traditional prerequisite developmental education pathway. Academically underprepared students are treated as a cohort, enrolling in both sections for a total of 6 hours, and are not commingled in the transfer-level course. The support course functions like a lab or workshop and does not have a separate Developmental Education curriculum. Amarillo College uses embedded tutors in the support course to assist the instructor with one-on-one and group tutoring sessions. The transfer-level courses are: English Composition I, College Algebra, Mathematics for Business & Social Sciences, Contemporary Mathematics, and College Algebra for STEM Majors.

Some Rights Reserved
Rating
0.0 stars

C.R.A.S.H. is a faculty development program that lasts over the course of one school year. The program begins with a 3-day workshop aimed at teaching faculty culturally relevant pedagogy. At the end of the 3-day workshop faculty choose an inquiry project to run in one of their courses that involves making a specific pedagogical change and collecting data on that pedagogical change. Over the fall semester the faculty teach the course with the pedagogical change and collect data on the effectiveness of the change. In the spring semester they analyze and interpret their data and then present their project to an audience of their peers.

One goal of this program is to increase the use of culturally relevant and inclusive teaching practices so that students feel a greater sense of community and belonging as well as reach higher learning gains in their courses. A secondary goal of this program is to increase the use of systematic inquiry of pedagogical techniques in courses across campus. By increasing the use of systematic inquiry faculty will gain more insight into their own teaching practices and their students learning so that they are able to better serve the population of students that they have.
