Scaling High-Impact Practices to Improve Community College Student Outcomes: Evidence from the Tennessee Board of Regents. Lumina Issue Paper
Valentine, Jessa; Price, Derek
Lumina Foundation
Public two-year colleges serve as an important access point for two out of every five students enrolled in postsecondary education. However, only 40 percent of community college students earn a postsecondary credential of any kind within six years, limiting their opportunities for advancement. Hoping to increase student retention and success, many colleges are developing and scaling up evidence-based practices that engage students more effectively. Significant evidence suggests that high-impact educational practices (HIPs)--including learning communities, service learning, and other practices that deeply engage students--can enhance learning and boost academic attainment, particularly among students who are traditionally underserved in higher education. This report highlights efforts of the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) to advance quality and equity in higher education by increasing the number of students who experience high-quality, high-impact practices, and measuring the results of these efforts.
