Abstract | Today, the pressure is on to enhance student success in higher education. Demands for accountability and mounting concerns about access are prompting educators to re-think traditional approaches to retention management and to look for new strategies. At the same time, higher education is seeing unprecedented changes in its students, including a lack of preparedness, greater diversity, and "swirl"--the phenomenon described by experts such as Cliff Adelman in which students enroll simultaneously at multiple institutions, attend classes intermittently rather than go straight through college, and hold down competing responsibilities such as part-time jobs. To respond to this new environment, Noel-Levitz advocates a paradigm shift toward a more precise model for measuring desired outcomes--the student success "funnel." By applying this model, educators can maintain closer contact with students, more precisely set goals, and plan more effectively. (Contains 2 footnotes.) (ERIC). |
