Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Research shows that enriching learning experiences such as learning communities service-learning undergraduate research internships and senior culminating experiences – collectively known as High-Impact Practices (HIPs) – are positively associated with student engagement; deep and integrated learning; and personal and educational gains for all students – particularly for historically underserved students including first-generation students and racially minoritized populations. While HIPs’ potential benefits for student learning retention and graduation are recognized and are being increasingly integrated across higher education programs much of that potential remains unrealized; and their implementation frequently uneven. Colleges are eager to use the HIP nomenclature for recruitment promoting equity for traditionally underserved student populations and preparing lifelong learners and successful professionals. However HIPs defy easy categorization or standardized implementation. They rely on fidelity quality and consistency – being “done well” – to achieve their learning outcomes; and above all require attention to access and equity if they are to fulfill their promise of benefitting all student populations equally. The goal of Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices is to provide examples from around the country of the ways educators are advancing equity promoting fidelity achieving scale and strengthening assessment of their own local high-impact practices. Its chapters bring together the best current scholarship methodologies and evidence-based practices within the HIPs field illustrating new approaches to faculty professional development culture and coalition building research and assessment and continuous improvement that help institutions understand and extend practices with a demonstrated high impact. For proponents and practitioners this book offers perspectives data and critiques to interrogate and improve practice. For administrators it provides an understanding of what’s needed to deliver the necessary support. | Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

This set includes: High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action. Between them these two books by on the one hand providing the theory foundations and guiding principles for impementing ePortfolios and on the other providing concrete examples of implementation across institutional types and a wide range of programs provide faculty and administrators with a comprehensive roadmap to integrating ePortfolios in multiple settings at their institutions as a means to improve retention graduation and student engagement. Review of High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: “One of the main takeaways for me is that good ePortfolio work can be done effectively at any type of institution. Happily Eynon and Gambino explain how by illustrating the requisite steps and conditions to do ePortfolio well in the classroom and beyond. Moreover all students benefit especially those who are less well prepared for college which is one of the most important and necessary features of a high impact practice. The other noteworthy lesson for me personally is that the field now has another HIP to add to the officially approved list. My sincere thanks and congratulations to all those involved for producing this important work and providing the guidance the enterprise needs to strengthen undergraduate education and enrich and deepen student learning. Bravo. ”—George Kuh Senior Scholar National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment Chancellor’s Professor of Higher Education Emeritus - Indiana University Review of Catalyst in Action: “Catalyst in Action features twenty case studies from a diverse set of institutions extending from broad access community colleges through four-year colleges and major universities in the U. S. and abroad to graduate programs in education and divinity. Readers will find in these pages a wealth of new detail on the 'how' of institutionalizing ePortfolios from first year experiences and bridge programs to designs for entire programs to enhancements for high priority educational goals such as effective writing. ”—Carol Geary Schneider Lumina Fellow and president emerita of the Association of American Colleges and Universities A Co-Publication with AAC&U | High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

Contributing authors also examine techniques used in working with local groups to facilitate effective changes in their communities. The discussions focus on settings in which Collective Impact efforts are likely to succeed using a variety of case studies that vary by intent purpose and location. Discussions of involvement by community and campus partnerships regional planning organizations and other groups can affect the ways in which Collective Impact principles are applied and how well they work. The discussions conclude with transformational changes within Collective Impact moving from the individual to the system and future directions for Collective Impact approaches. Practitioners and scholars alike will find the discussions of various approaches and outcomes using Collective Impact useful in designing future efforts to bring about community change.

Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation

After decades of evolving practice often tested in court development impact fees have become institutionalized in the American planning and local government finance systems. But they remain contentious especially as they continue to evolve. This book is the third in a series of impact fee guidebooks for practitioners following A Practitioner’s Guide to Development Impact Fees and Impact Fees: Proportionate Share Development Fees. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation is the culmination of the authors’ careers devoted to pioneering applications of the dual rational nexus test. That test requires (1) establishing the rational nexus between the need for infrastructure broadly defined to mitigate the impacts of development and (2) ensuring that development mitigating its infrastructure impacts benefits proportionately. The book elevates professional practice in two ways. First it shows how the rational nexus test can be applied to all forms of development infrastructure impact mitigation. Second it establishes the link between professional ethics and equity as applied to proportionate share impact fees and development mitigation. The book is divided into four parts with the first reviewing policy and legal foundations the second detailing the planning calculation and implementation requirements the third exploring economic ethical and equity implications and the fourth presenting state-of-the-art case studies. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation sets new standards for professional practice.

Course-Based Undergraduate Research Educational Equity and High-Impact Practice

Course-Based Undergraduate Research Educational Equity and High-Impact Practice

Co-published with the Council on Undergraduate Research Undergraduate research has long been recognized as a high-impact practice (HIP) but has unfortunately been offered only to juniors and seniors and to very few of them (often in summer programs). This book shows how to engage students in authentic research experiences built into the design of courses in the first two years thus making the experience available to a much greater number of students. Research that is embedded in a course especially general education courses addresses the issue of how to expand undergraduate research to all students. Research has shown that students who have early experiences in undergraduate research are more likely to pursue further research prior to and after graduation. This is also an issue of social justice because it makes the benefits of undergraduate research available to students who must work during the academic year and in the summer. It is widely accepted that the skills developed through undergraduate research help prepare students for their future careers. The book addresses all aspects of the topic including:- What are appropriate expectations for research in the first two years- How to design appropriate course-based research for first- and second-year students- How to mentor a class rather than individual students- How students can disseminate the results of their research- Possible citizen-science projects appropriate for the first and second years- Providing additional resources available to support course-based research in the first two yearsDesigned for faculty at four-year and two-year colleges – and including examples from the sciences the social sciences and the humanities – the strategies and methods described can be adapted to disciplines not specifically mentioned in the book. Many faculty are hesitant to engage first and second year students in undergraduate research because they worry students don’t know enough to conduct authentic research in their discipline because they worry about the time it will take to develop activities for these students and because they wonder how they can mentor a whole class of students doing research. The authors have successfully dealt with these issues and provide examples of how it’s done. | Course-Based Undergraduate Research Educational Equity and High-Impact Practice
