Book Description
In an effort to identify effective transfer practices appropriate to different community college circumstances, and to establish a quantitative database that would enable valid comparisons of transfer between their 28 member institutions, the National Effective Transfer Consortium (NETC) sponsored a survey of more than 30,000 students attending NETC colleges. A database was created containing responses from 14,000 students, representing a 44% response rate. Additional data were added on ethnicity, gender, age, and enrollment status on all credit enrollees from each member college for spring and fall 1988, amounting to information on almost 300,000 students in 13 states. This report presents the results of the first year's research efforts of the NETC. Chapter 1 reviews the inadequacies of the most common current approach to measuring transfer rates, proposes a new definition of transfer rate, and presents findings from the study in support of the new measurement. Chapter 2 uses data obtained from the NETC colleges to illustrate the possibility of calculating an expected transfer rate range for any college or group of colleges. Chapter 3 considers the different propensities to transfer of different types of students, and discusses a new way to measure transfer effectiveness based on this insight. Chapters 4 and 5 review organizational issues and transfer practices and strategies that colleges must consider in order to achieve high transfer effectiveness. Chapter 6 sketches a specific approach colleges can use to enhance their transfer function. Appendixes contain an overview of the study methods, the questionnaire, and a brief portrait of each of the member colleges of NETC. (GFW)

The Early Childhood Career Lattice

ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The goal of NAEYC's National Institute for Early Childhood Professional Development is to improve the quality of services provided to young children and their families by enhancing the quality, consistency, and accessibility of early childhood education professional preparation. In this compilation of presentations, key leaders offer their perspectives on achieving the Institute's goal of an articulated professional development system, represented by the early childhood career lattice. The first article presents the conceptual framework for this professional development system and outlines the official position of NAEYC. The remaining articles are the opinions of the authors and are presented in four parts. Part 1 indicates the different kinds of programs from which early childhood educators enter their careers and the resulting inequities in status, differences in standards for programs and practitioners, various program delivery mechanisms, and lack of consensus on cherished values. Part 2 opens with five descriptions of various components of the profession's core knowledge and emphasizes the need for specialized professional development options that build on this knowledge. Also included are articles that discuss the knowledge base for the Baccalaureate Early Childhood Teacher Education Program and a contextual model to promote professionalism in early childhood education and care. Effective strategies that can improve the day-to-day skills of professionals who are engaged in fostering each other's learning are explored in part 3. The volume concludes with practical and policy implications of this vision of a coordinated professional development system and shifts the focus to financing for professional development and compensation of early childhood staff.
