Rainy Day Savings Program

0.0 stars

The Rainy Day Savings Program is designed to help students set aside $500+ within one academic year for a financial emergency. Students open a savings account at our partner credit union and earn up to $100 in cash deposits for doing things like completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and meeting with a financial coach. Money in the account can be used for a financial emergency as defined by the individual student. The account is intended to be an easy-to-access quick source of cash when a student experiences a financial emergency. Besides being prepared for a financial emergency, students gain first-hand experience managing a bank account, setting savings goals, and budgeting. The program is open to degree-seeking students enrolled in 6+ credit hours in the semester of program application and who intend to enroll in 6+ credit hours in the subsequent semester. Targeted outreach is conducted to engage students who are Pell and work-study eligible (however, eligiblity for these two forms of financial aid is not a requirement of participation).

STEP Learning Assistants Program

Rating
0.0 stars

The STEP Learning Assistants (LAs) Program in the Teaching, Learning & Professional Development Center (TLPDC) began in Fall 2019 and was adapted for remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. LAs returned to face to face classrooms in Spring of 2022. As of May 2022, the STEP Program had 67 LAs across six STEM course sections, in three departments involving approximately 1500 students at TTU. Learning Assistants offer a student persistence/retention strategy that complements other resources on campus. LAs attend the course and are directed by Instructors of Record during applied problem-solving portions of the class. They provide real-time, hands-on learning assistance for enrolled students. The LAs are provided pedagogical training and are supervised by the TLPDC at Texas Tech University. Learning Assistants have been shown to increase student persistence by lowering DFW rates among all LA-course enrolled students (Loes, Saichaie & Pascarella, 2017), as well as a reduction in DFW rates for underrepresented groups (Alzen, Langdon, Otero 2017). Additional research shows improved outcomes for the LAs themselves, as compared to their non-LA peers (Otero 2015). The STEP LA Program continues to grow in popularity among students, faculty and administration at Texas Tech University.

Scaling Student Success-Faculty Partnerships to Eliminate Success Gaps in First Year Courses

Rating
0.0 stars

UTRGV has developed a model for student success partnerships that brings together faculty alongside staff from our Center for Teaching Excellence, Center for Online Learning & Teaching with Technology, Learning Center, and Writing Center, with the goals of 1) analyzing student success data in key gatekeeper courses and 2) co-designing strategies and initiatives that will positively impact student persistence and completion. Faculty and Student Success staff work together to better understand students' unique needs and to determine how to best address them. Specific strategies implemented include integrated academic supports such as embedded peer collaborative learning, targeted professional development for faculty teaching gatekeeper courses, opportunities for trained student assistants to provide feedback to faculty on their course materials and pedagogical strategies, and "second chance" opportunities for students who haven't mastered course material to extend their semester by a few weeks in an effort to avoid having to re-enroll in the course the next semester.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Preliminary grade data from Spring 2023 is trending in a positive direction year over year, with notable decreases in DFW rates in ENGL 1301 and MATH 1314. Preliminary data from student surveys has yielded positive feedback, as well, noting that students are experiencing a greater sense of understanding of course content and greater confidence to interact with peers and university resources. These early indicators are usually markers for persistence and retention.

The Scholar Enrichment Program (SEP) includes the TC Energy Summer Scholars Academy (SSA) and 1 credit hour supplemental instruction workshops supporting freshman level STEM courses. Low-income students from predominately minority serving high schools are recruited through site visits to their campuses, information sessions, email, and phone calls. All eligible students, however, are welcome to apply. During the SSA, students complete Calculus 1 and receive instruction in chemistry and college success. In the fall, students transition into the SEP where they receive continued mentoring, are placed in Collaborative Learning Groups for their STEM classes, and participate in career development activities. SSA students are encouraged to take on leadership roles as tutors, peer facilitators, and mentors as they advance through their studies. All students at the University are welcome to enroll in the SEP workshops that utilize peer facilitators to guide students through team-based problem-solving sessions to master challenging course material. Between 900-1000 students per semester enroll. The program is supported in part by a National Science Foundation Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation grant, the University of Houston, TC Energy, Conoco Phillips, Halliburton, and alumni donors.

A fee-based program, we provide supplemental academic support services through one-on-one, regularly scheduled tutoring and academic counseling for students diagnosed with a specific learning disability, ADD/ADHD, and/or autism spectrum disorders. We individually match students and tutors to provide excellent academic support and accountability. In addition, tutors receive extensive training that leads to their tutor certification through the College Reading and Learning Association. The goal of the program is to help students build independent learning and self-advocacy skills so they can meet their educational goals. To achieve this success, the majority of our students will meet with their tutor five hours per week. This is typically scheduled as one hour per day during operating hours. Students will also meet with their Academic Counselor once per week for 30 minutes. This level of contact helps with content acquisition, accountability, planning, prioritizing, and time management.

SI is a peer-led, academic assistance program that can significantly improve performance for students who attend regularly. Students who attend 10 or more sessions throughout the semester have statistically been shown to earn half to a full letter grade higher than those students who do not attend.

The SI program at Texas A&M University started in 1992. The Texas A&M University SI program was named as the SI program of the year in 2004. We host the bi-annual regional conference on Supplemental Instruction. Some of our SI Leader training materials have been adopted by the International Center for Supplemental Instruction. The SI program has received its accreditation by International Center for Supplemental Instruction at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2019.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: Each semester, we track student attendance and compare final course grades of students who frequently attend SI during the semester (10 or more sessions attended) with students in targeted courses who did not attend SI. On average students who attend frequently will earn a final course grade that is one-half to one full letter grade higher than students who do not attend SI sessions.
