SEF is pleased to co-sponsor an
important online conversation with Getting Past Go, Project PREPARE
at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and Knowledge in the
Public Interest.
The Issue: Although MSIs have
participated in national conversations on developmental education,
they have not been a focus. However, recent research
suggests that many MSI's use effective assessment,
placement, and support practices that lead to success for students.
The Goal: This Web Jam
will bring practitioners together to share practices and explore the
unique challenges facing MSIs. We hope to identify successful
practices while gaining a better
understanding of institutional context to uncover evidence
of effectiveness and to potentially develop an agenda for
collaboration on improving outcomes for students.
The Opportunity: Please join this
important conversation on March
6th and ask your colleagues to do so as well. A
WEB JAM is an online, text-based discussion that is moderated by
experts in the field. The Jam will take place from 11:00am to 6:00 pm EDT
and you can participate whenever your schedule allows.
The Outcome: A report of this
conversation will be produced for dissemination, a network of
interested colleagues will emerge, and valuable resources can be
shared. Your participation in the Web Jam will
inform future work on policy and practice . The report will be
published and highlight key findings and promising practices based on
an analysis of the exchange.
To Register: Click Here. You will receive
the participation link, a username and password via
email. We invite a diverse group of participants from all levels and
departments from your institution, so please share this email and the
registration link with others.
Who Should
Participate: College and university presidents, provosts, faculty,
academic and student affairs staff.
The Web Jam is asynchronous, so
you can come into the discussion when you can, and participate as
your time allows.
Questions: If you have any
questions about the JAM, please contact Lisa Levinson at Knowledge in the Public Interest
or Dr. Tara Parker at Project PREPARE, University of
Massachusetts, Boston.
