Programming Practices

For decades, our educational system has been criticized for the limited recruitment and retention of minority students in gifted education programs. Unfortunately, relatively little progress has been made to alleviate these concerns. An examination of the literature on gifted education for underrepresented students reveals a dearth of information regarding effective programming practices. This article seeks to fill this void by exploring promising best practices for recruitment and retention of underrepresented students in gifted education. Multicultural education, mentoring, and noncognitive skill development are three promising areas that gifted educators can use to enhance programming.

Background: Race-ethnic disparities exist in stroke incidence, recurrence and mortality. Minority participation in stroke clinical trials is staggeringly low. A significant literature describes patient-reported barriers to recruitment, but researcher barriers are not well documented. Aim: To assess stroke researcher best practices and challenges to minority inclusion in stroke trials. Methods: The National Initiative for Minority Involvement in Neurological Clinical Trials (NIMICT) uses a mixed methods approach including surveys, focus groups and key informant interviews to expand on understanding of minority recruitment and retention in stroke clinical trials. We designed and tested a 40-item survey based on literature review and used the results to inform semi-structured focus groups and key informant interviews among stroke clinical trial investigators (N=110). Results: Key stroke investigators, identified through the Princeton Conference, were invited via email to participate in the survey. Over 70% (n=93) responded: 68% White. Less than half (N=43) reported actively setting recruitment goals for minority inclusion. Only 37% (N=29) required cultural sensitivity training for recruitment staff. Over 80% reported treating adults unable to consent and were concerned about acute stroke time constraints negatively impacting patient/family participation decisions. Key themes from focus groups (N=17) included: 1) Role of government in defining valid minority sub analyses and enforcing existing inclusion guidelines; 2) Challenges unique to acute setting including consent in conditions of prognostic uncertainty; 3) Lack of scientific/research literacy in the lay population; 4) Lack of community engagement including Primary Care Physicians; 5) Lack of cost data to adequately budget for inclusion efforts. Best practices included health literate consent forms, cultural competency, and motivational interview training for coordinators. Conclusion: NIMICT’s mixed methods approach contributes new perspectives on unique challenges in stroke clinical research. These findings will inform strategies to improve minority recruitment and retention among neurological clinical trials.

Student recruitment and retention are an important management and marketing strategy for higher education institutions such as universities. These strategies are increasingly becoming crucial terminologies in the education sector around the world today. Stakeholders, for example, parents and policymakers, see recruitment and eventual retention of students as both an effective part of measure and indicator of university performance and student success. While recruitment and retention strategies may relatively vary, such variation in most cases can inform a hallmark of management and marketing deficiency. This scenario typically characterizes African universities, where inclusive best practices of student recruitment and retention trends have been less receptive. This study aims to identify the gap existing between African universities student recruitment and retention strategies and that used at western universities. The study adopts a qualitative, analytical approach based on a review of existing literature, and a combination of the author’s experience of past involvement in a somewhat student retention process. Findings show that recruitment and retention strategies at African universities are lacking. Further, their marketing strategies are riddled by lack of commitment, professionalism, and student diversity principles. This situation has impacted the education sector adversely. The study provides a conceptual analysis of recruitment and retention, but re-conceptualizes the latter more broadly, in the context of manifest current realities. Furthermore, it proposes principles of student recruitment and retention. The study overall argues that African universities can tailor western universities recruitment and retention strategies as opportunities for sustaining international best practices to compete globally in the international educational market.

The general problem of employee retention and the ability of an organization to influence and change actual turnover behavior are of great concern to employers, consultants, and academicians alike. This has been especially true in the IT profession. The growing need for IT professionals, combined with a shrinking labor pool, has made recruitment and retention of IT talent a top priority in many organizations. Forward thinking companies are looking to find and retain qualified IT talent wherever in the world it is available at a reasonable price. This chapter presents research that provides nuggets of wisdom that can be used as best practices for retaining global IT talent.

Mentorship is one of the most important founding elements of academia. In fact, it can be easily argued that mentorship was born with academia. An effective mentorship in training and teaching programs results in the recruitment and retention of qualified students and early-career researchers. However, what are the current best practices of mentoring? And is mentorship currently a priority in academic and research institutions? The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the current model of mentorship in academia and highlight some of the key qualities of an academic mentor.
