Two case studies using these approaches will be discussed in the webinar:Everyone seems to be interested in the concept of noncognitive factors and their potential to affect student success, particularly with traditionally underserved populations. But there are many questions around application, implementation and use.
Join this complimentary webinar, Transforming Minority Student Success from the Top Down and Bottom Up, sponsored by Educational Testing Services (ETS), to learn about two different approaches – both large- and small-scale – for assessing and addressing noncognitive factors.
- Success from the Student Perspective: The “Bottom-Up” Approach - The first case study, PROJECT SUCCESS at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, focuses on student success for men of color. As a commonly identified traditionally underserved population, this example will demonstrate how institutions can target and understand the strengths, challenges and strategies related to success from the student perspective: the “bottom-up” approach.
- Holistic Assessment and Advising to Improve Student Success: The “Top-Down” Approach - The second case study is an institutional initiative put forth at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, an HBCU that integrated noncognitive assessment into its campus advising processes. This “top-down” approach will demonstrate how holistic assessment and advising can inform institutional strategies to improve student success metrics such as retention and graduation rates.
The goal of this webinar is to demonstrate both student-level and institution-level actions to improve graduation and retention rates, based on a holistic understanding of the key factors that relate to student success.
There will be time for questions at the end. Feel free to send questions in advance to wsours@diverseeducation.com
