Research Findings

This chapter provides readers with an applied example of the L.E.A.D. Program for Teacher Candidates within the secondary panel. This intrinsic case study explores a compensatory school's student success solution through an increase of Student Success Literate (SSL) Student Teachers. Their presence and conscious efforts contribute to the overall implementation of the school's student success strategies, adapted from Adlai Stevenson High School's intervention model. The five main themes that emerged were: i) the collective is a benefit; ii) visibility and accountability; iii) shift in teaching approaches; iv) increased individual support; and, v) holistic education. Research findings indicate how the L.E.A.D. program shapes teachers into mindful educators equipped with foundational knowledge that bolsters student success and provides an accurate depiction of the working structure of the program in the secondary panel.

The focus of this article is to develop a framework for understanding the change process related to collaboration between academic and student affairs. A national survey of collaboration between student and academic affairs was conducted. Structural and cultural theories of change were used to examine the research questions. The findings indicate that combined models are best able to guide student and academic affairs collaboration. The study results suggest that universities and comprehensive institutions need to pay particular attention to structural strategies and obstacles.

Noncognitive Factors

Noncognitive skills are a rather popular topic in higher education today. Factors such as “grit,” “character,” and “growth mindset” are an increasing part of many student success efforts. This chapter will discuss several issues related to noncognitive factors, seeking to bridge the gap from research to practice. First, we will review various ways in which the noncognitive space has been defined. Second, we will review research supporting the relevance of noncognitive variables in higher education, including their espoused importance, empirical relationships with student outcomes, and finally, evidence that such factors can serve a somewhat compensatory role for many students. Third, we will provide an overview of methods of assessing noncognitive tools, particularly within a context of student retention and success. Finally, we will review common practices to implementing noncognitive factors in student success strategies, including holistic placement, enhanced student advising, and other interventions focused directly on the development of noncognitive skills.
