• W221029757 abstract "During two decades of administration, a commonwealth-supported grant (Act 101) has enabled a private, four-year, Catholic-affiliated university in Pennsylvania to develop an effective set of practices that enable under-prepared, economically-disadvantaged students to develop successful academic strategies. A summary of evidence-based best practices and their outcomes is presented, along with narrative of how these practices are implemented in the program. These practices include assessments, counseling, and teaching approaches to facilitate student growth and independence in academic, social, personal, and other aspects that have a powerful impact on the student's adjustment to undergraduate campus life. Current research suggests that, nation-wide, incoming freshman classes are under-prepared for college-level work; therefore, the approaches taken by the DeSales Act 101 program are likely to prove useful for more general student-body instruction and development or remediation through college readiness seminars, freshman-experience programs, academic bridge programs, counseling, intrusive advising and other proven strategies for student success. A summary of evidence-based best practices and their outcomes is presented, along with narrative of how these practices are implemented in the program. Key Words: best practices, at-risk student, higher education, academic bridge program, tutoring, counseling, academic preparation, assessments, undergraduate, remediation, scaffolding, freshman experience, college readiness, retention, graduation rates, economically disadvantaged ********** In a 2007 California study of college instructors, respondent feedback suggested American faculty members feel incoming freshman classes include significant numbers of students who are insufficiently prepared for college-level academics. The problem spans mathematics, high-level text comprehension, writing, note-taking skills, and analysis (Academic Senate for California Community Colleges 2007). Pennsylvania's Department of Education released data showing similar concerns and suggesting that the expenses of remedial classes at the college level cost the average student $1,300 (Commonwealth of PA 2009). The situation threatens to have an impact on grade inflation, retention, and decisions concerning remediation coursework and core curricula. Colleges may find they lack the necessary financial or faculty staffing resources to add developmental courses, ESL courses, or freshman academic bridge programs; and the institutions may have other reasons not to implement such programs. Excellent developmental and preparatory work can be accomplished efficiently, however, especially when a bridging program continues through the freshman year. DeSales University, a private, four-year, religiously-affiliated university in Pennsylvania, has worked with Pennsylvania Department of Education under the auspices of the Act 101 Program to assure the academic success of economically-disadvantaged, at-risk students. There is a good retention rate among students in this program despite the students' classification of high-risk. We believe that the approaches taken by Act 101 program facilitators may prove useful for more general student-body instruction and development or remediation for under-prepared freshmen through college readiness seminars, freshman-experience programs, academic bridge programs, counseling and other proven strategies for student success. Our interpretation of the Act 101 Program has evolved over more than 20 years as the Commonwealth's Department of Education and accepted pedagogy have undergone changes. In the process of tracking our students' successes, evaluating staff performance, and meeting academic and state grant requirements, the DeSales team has researched best practices and assessed whether practices in the literature work for our program and our students. Charts accompanying this paper indicate the results of our institutional assessments; the main sources we have consulted for best practices are included in our reference list. …" @default.
