17. Valencia’s Five-Year Impact Plan
And our connection as general education.

18. Personal Reflection Question: Upon reviewing your gradebook you notice that several students have missed 2 or more assignments and/or class sessions. What is your current practice for addressing this concern, if any?

20. Graduation Rates: By Race and Gender See the Gaps
This is why (Slide 18)

21. Graduation Rates: By Course Success First Five Courses See the Gaps
First Five Courses: We know that’s us.

22. All Valencia Success Rates by Gender/Ethnicity since AY 2014-2015
This is also the first year of NSE required.
Institutional Research, High Risk and Grade Distribution Report

23. All Valencia Success Rates by Gender/Ethnicity Fall 2016 only
Institutional Research, High Risk and Grade Distribution Report

24. SLS1122 Success Rates by Gender/Ethnicity since AY 2014-2015

25. SLS1122 Success Rates by Gender/Ethnicity Fall 2016 only
The only group on here that is BELOW the average of the past 3 academic years, is our African American Males.
So… based on this data, as a team we wanted to look into possible reasons why.
Institutional Research, High Risk and Grade Distribution Report

26. The SFI was reviewed to identify possible correlations between African-American males that earn a D, W, or F and student responses. Students responded positively when surveyed about connecting with peers and receiving support from the instructor. Other positive feedback related to the professor connecting the assignments to the course goals and purpose.

Dr. Jamil Johnson Bio: Dr. Jamil D. Johnson serves as the Academic Coordinator for the Office of First Year Experience with Student Development and Enrollment Services at UCF. His research interests include Access and Participation in Higher Education of Underrepresented Students and Student Success. His previous experiences include administration, mentoring, and teaching doctoral students at the University of Illinois (UIUC)

30. So, what we’re being asked to do is to reflect and think what we could be doing to help our under-performing students. The idea is not to only serve our underrepresented student population, but that if we can focus on them, think of interventions that could help, they will help everyone. But we want to do it through the perspective\lens of our underperformers. In NSE’s case, this is our African American males.

31. Next Steps

32. Next Steps 2017-2018 The role we as NSE all play cannot be ignored.
Please consider being part of the team to
continue this discussion and
begin formulating
strategies for AY

33. We need to talk about RUBRICS.
One last thing…
We need to talk about RUBRICS.
