Through the Gate: Learning How to Increase Transfer for “High-Leverage” Students
Category
Transfer > Plenary
Description
Dr. Darla M. Cooper, Executive Director of the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges, will share results from the Through the Gate transfer study, which examines the experience of “high-leverage learners” whose course-taking shows them “at” or “near” the transfer gate, but who have not yet made it to university. Dr. Cooper will provide data on which student groups are more likely to achieve transfer based on new quantitative analysis and offer insights into applying the study methodology to identify these high-leverage transfer students on any community college campus. Dr. Cooper will also present a “transfer decision-making framework” that can inform local efforts to explore barriers and catalysts to students’ transfer progress, and preview our study’s current qualitative stage of research—collecting student perspectives on what factors are impacting their transfer journey.
