评估249页的数据分析, 反馈, and recommendations have guided 学习生活’s growth and path forward in providing holistic, comprehensive services for the 985 学习生活's Scholars served to date

评估过程

自2012年推出以来, each year 学习生活 (L4L) has undergone an independent project evaluation by Dr. 咪咪菊花, a faculty member from RIC’s School of Social Work. 我们收集的大量数据, 包括与esball官方网们的每次互动, 正在进行的文献综述, ensure we are providing the most potent blend of support for student success.

令人鼓舞的结果

结果很有希望, with years of data indicating that L4L Scholars persist at higher rates than the overall RIC population, despite facing the most significant obstacles to graduation.

成功的关键标志

回顾我们的 大学入学补助金评估 (4年).

The year-to-year retention rate of L4L Scholars entering RIC in fall 2014 as full­-time, 一年级新生88岁.5%，增长2%.自2013年秋季报告以来增长了5%.

Despite serving students who meet at-risk qualifiers, L4L’s retention rate is 12.3% higher than the overall RIC freshmen retention rate for students entering in fall 2014 (76.2%).

In addition to the official institutional retention rate, L4L’s project evaluator developed an additional measure of success looking beyond the cohort model. It includes students at all levels of study and captures the progress of students following a nontraditional path to graduation, with “持久性 defined as persisting into the next semester” (Mumm, 2016, 个人通信).

“终身学习 Scholars have a rate of persistence of eighty-four percent…The L4L persistence rate is higher than persistence rate for the RIC campus in general” (Mumm, 2016, p. 23-24).

The full evaluation report provides rates for specific groups, 比如GPA的持久性, 年龄, 种族和阶级地位.

从L4L开始, 123 Senior or Master’s level students have been hired and trained to serve as Network Navigators, providing them internship opportunities and a professional certificate of undergraduate studies.

The experience of more than 12 L4L Scholars was so positive that they applied and were hired and trained to become Navigators.

L4L has achieved national recognition through the AASCU Innovation Exchange.
