Updates from SE Steering Committee We are on the right track: Presentation at AASCU academic affairs meeting (Barnett, Chang, Daffron, Romano) Presentation at ACPA annual conference (Cammarata, Romano) 2

Updates from SE Steering Committee Process for proposing new K.P.Es established “Paused” in looking at years to let two pilot years work through (FYE and SYE)- though next year will resume with Junior/Third Year Used “pause” to zoom in on transfer students and how they fit into model 3

Updates from SE Steering Committee Ramapo College Strategic Plan Goal 1: Advance Academic Excellence and Engagement Objective 1.2 The College will insure that students increase academic, personal, social, and civic engagement by offering enhanced curricular, co-curricular, and extra- curricular programming. 4

Outcomes for Today’s Retreat Review two assessment instruments to get a picture of our students’ engagement (curricular and co-curricular) Present Marketing Plan for Student Engagement and how FYE and SYE Connect Share updates from both FYE Board and SYE Board 5

Outcomes for Today’s Retreat Review report from Transfer Student Engagement Task Force Brainstorm ideas of ways to incorporate Transfer students into the current work of both boards 6

Eric Daffron Gurvinder Khaneja NSSE & CLA Results

CLA and NSSE Two of the most common institutional assessments Endorsed by the VSA Often paired to demonstrate student achievement and engagement

CLA Tests analytic reasoning, problem solving, writing effectiveness, and writing mechanics. Asks students to: – respond to questions about a simulated real-life scenario, – to support a position, or – to evaluate an argument. Does not use multiple-choice questions.

CLA Tests incoming first-year students and graduating native students – 90 first-year students drawn from 5 FYS sections – 93 graduating native students drawn from capstone courses in all five schools Computes institutional mean scores, mean score percentile ranks across participating institutions, and a value-added score.

CLA First-year students: high percentile rank – 88 for the total CLA score Seniors: lower percentile rank – 59 for the total CLA score Value-added score: near expected – -.38 for the total CLA score

CLA Four skills: – Analytic reasoning and evaluation – Writing effectiveness – Writing mechanics – Problem solving Best skill: writing mechanics – grammar – sentence construction – vocabulary

CLA Three tests: – Performance Task – Make-an-Argument – Critique-an-Argument Best test: make-an-argument – analytic reasoning and evaluation – writing effectiveness – writing mechanics

NSSE NSSE - National Survey of Student Engagement, Engagement through Learning, Research and Service. Sponsored by Pew Charitable Trust in 1998, and operationalized as the “College Report” the survey was piloted in year Starting with 276 institutions, NSSE has been administered by up to 770 institutions in recent years. Based on Chickering & Gamson’s (1987) “Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education” and Astin’s (1984) Theory of Student Involvement. Currently, the survey also is also involved in measuring “Deep Approaches to Learning”

NSSE NSSE at Ramapo College of New Jersey – The survey has been administered since – Current reporting is for Spring 2012 administration. Response rate was about 20 percent for both first-year students (300) and seniors (194). – Ramapo was featured in NSSE’s Annual Results 2012 as an institution that uses NSSE to inform about Student Engagement. – The current year results also focuses on measuring “Deep Approaches to Learning” and provides evidence to the question “Whether Students have learning Experiences that are likely to results in effective and enduring learning.”

NSSE Five Important Benchmarks: NSSE ACTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING STUDENT- FACULTY INTERACTIONRT ENRICHING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE SUPPORTIVE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT LEVEL OF ACADEMIC CHALLENGE The Benchmarks were a result of “Factor Analysis Technique” used by NSSE research team over time, using pilot data. Each Benchmark has a score that is based on 6 to 12 questions from the survey

NSSE For Full Results Go To:

NSSE Highlights of the Results – Highest Performing Benchmarks First-year Students Wrote more than 4 papers or reports between 5 and 19 pages (LAC). Wrote more than 10 papers or reports of fewer than 5 pages (LAC). Made a class Presentation (ACL). Did a community project as part of the course (ACL). Received prompt written or oral feedback from faculty (SFI). Senior Students Wrote at least one paper or report of 20 pages or more (LAC). Wrote more than 4 papers or reports between 5 and 19 pages (LAC). Made a class presentation (ACL). Did a practicum, internship, field experience, clinical assignment (EEE). Completed a culminating senior experience (EEE).

NSSE Highlights of the Results – Lowest Performing Benchmarks First-year Students Spent more than 10 hours a week preparing for class (LAC). Said the institution emphasizes study and academic work (LAC). Had serious conversations with students of another race/ethnicity (EEE). Participated in learning community (EEE). Completed foreign language coursework (EEE). Senior Students Spent more than 10 hours a week preparing for class (LAC). Said the institution emphasizes studying and academic work (LAC). Had serious conversations with students of other religion, politics and value (EEE). Completed a foreign language coursework (EEE). Positively rated their relationships with administrative/Personnel offices (EEE).

NSSE DEEP APPROACHES TO LEARNING NSSE’s THEORY – “Students who participate in activities that promote higher-order thinking, integration and reflection are more likely to spend their time purposefully”. High impact activities for first-year students include participation in learning communities, while the same for seniors include participation in service learning, internships, study abroad etc…

NSSE Deep Approaches to Learning: A Comparison Report Results: The first-year students are at par with their peers in the nation, while seniors lag behind their peers. Ramapo College Mid-East Public Carnegie Class NSSE 2012 First year Average (mean) ES Senior Average (mean)626567**66** ES

NSSE GAINS Over the last five administrations, there have been gains in the following benchmarks: Level of Academic Challenge, Active and Collaborative Learning and Student Faculty Interaction. The benchmark score for first-year students is at par or slightly better than Seniors when rating Ramapo as having a “Supportive Campus Environment.” For Seniors, there is a gain in the benchmark score on “Enriching Educational Experience” over the years. Both First-year students and Seniors spend time writing papers of various lengths. Both first-year and senior made presentations in front of class.

NSSE CONCERNS Low Benchmark Scores for first-year students on Student Faculty Interaction and Enriching Educational Experience. A significant proportion of first-year (23 percent) and senior students (30 percent) felt that the institution did not emphasize studying and academic work. Approximately 46 percent of first-year and 51 percent of the senior students spent less than 10 hours per week preparing for class. Seniors at Ramapo are not as engaged on campus as their peers, when compared on “Deep Learning” Benchmarks.
