Some colleges, like \u003ca href=\"https://baruch.scholarships.ngwebsolutions.com/scholarx_scholarshipsearch.aspx\">Baruch College\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://studentparents.berkeley.edu/programs-services/financial-aid-scholarship\">University of California, Berkeley\u003c/a>, have grant programs for student parents who demonstrate financial need. Others connect students to outside resources, like George Mason University's \u003ca href=\"https://masonfamily.gmu.edu/student-parents/financial-assistance/\">list of scholarships for parenting and expecting students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board also has a \u003ca href=\"https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search#!welcome\">scholarship search tool \u003c/a>that allows students to search by age, race and financial need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as NPR's Elissa Nadworny has reported, anyone who is even considering going to college should \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/10/20/925739424/fafsa-college-financial-aid-help\">fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid\u003c/a>, or FAFSA, which can unlock all kinds of grants, scholarships and loans to help cover the cost of a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking out small loans can help students take more classes and reduce the need to work, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/14/667699220/the-benefits-of-taking-out-loans-for-college\">as Nadworny has reported\u003c/a>. But students — and especially student parents — should also be cautious when it comes to taking on long-term debt. In 2019, IWPR and Ascend, a policy arm of the nonprofit Aspen Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://iwpr.org/iwpr-issues/student-parent-success-initiative/parents-in-college-by-the-numbers/\">found that\u003c/a> the median debt among student parents was more than two and half times higher than debt among students without children. Single mothers also tend to borrow more than other student parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know that college isn't affordable for the majority of students,\" says Lindsey Reichlin Cruse, who co-authored the 2019 study. \"But when you have a child or multiple children, you're providing housing and food on top of tuition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timeline for tuition payments can also be an important factor. Myrna Perez, a mother of three in central Washington\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>says she chose to attend Pierce College because Pierce gave her the option to pay her tuition over time, instead of asking for thousands of dollars upfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no way I was going to come up with, like $20,000 in one month,\" Perez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3.

Portland State University hosts \u003ca href=\"https://www.pdx.edu/students-with-children/events/virtual-social-hour-info-session-students-children\">virtual information sessions\u003c/a> where prospective students can ask questions to advisors and current students who are also raising children. Resources like Sacramento State's first-generation\u003ca href=\"https://www.csus.edu/student-affairs/centers-programs/first-generation-students/_internal/_documents/first-generation-directory.pdf\"> college student directory\u003c/a> can connect a parenting student with someone from a similar background in their field of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more you can talk to people like student services folks, people who work specifically and intentionally with students, even if not just student parents, can help you get a sense for the type of support you can expect as a student,\" says Cruse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilkerson also recommends looking up how many advisors a school has compared to how many students are enrolled. \u003ca href=\"https://www.mdrc.org/project/scaling-college-completion-efforts-student-success-success#overview\">One research-backed program\u003c/a> aimed at increasing college completion recommends a ratio of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mdrc.org/sites/default/files/iPASS_Advising_Brief_final.pdf\">less than 150 students per advisor\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also important, she says, to see if a school has specific advisors that specialize in supporting underrepresented groups, like student parents, first-generation students or transfer students. Front Range Community College in Colorado offers \u003ca href=\"https://www.frontrange.edu/being-a-student/advising-and-counseling/single-parent-program\">personalized advising for single parents\u003c/a> – this is separate from the general academic advising center, so parenting students can talk to someone who may be more familiar with their unique situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once enrolled, Wilkerson recommends reaching out to an academic advisor before classes even start to help establish an immediate connection to someone who understands the intricacies of college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more efficient you are with planning your classes, the more chance you have of graduating,\" she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>4.

He believes institutions should continue to provide these flexible learning options. He also recommends asking admissions advisors about classroom attendance policies and flexible scheduling options for required courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, for many colleges, online learning is nothing new. The CalIfornia State University system is one of countless institutions that \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstateonline.net/\">allow students\u003c/a> to complete their degrees fully online. For some programs and majors, students can choose a hybrid learning option so they have the opportunity to learn in-person when their schedule permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if going to college seems like an uphill battle, studies show that once student parents get there, they tend to thrive. Student parents \u003ca href=\"https://iwpr.org/iwpr-issues/student-parent-success-initiative/parents-in-college-by-the-numbers/\">often get higher grades \u003c/a>than students without children, and Croom says they can find the process of earning a degree especially rewarding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's this really strong sense of motivation.

Some colleges, like \u003ca href=\"https://baruch.scholarships.ngwebsolutions.com/scholarx_scholarshipsearch.aspx\">Baruch College\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://studentparents.berkeley.edu/programs-services/financial-aid-scholarship\">University of California, Berkeley\u003c/a>, have grant programs for student parents who demonstrate financial need. Others connect students to outside resources, like George Mason University's \u003ca href=\"https://masonfamily.gmu.edu/student-parents/financial-assistance/\">list of scholarships for parenting and expecting students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board also has a \u003ca href=\"https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search#!welcome\">scholarship search tool \u003c/a>that allows students to search by age, race and financial need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as NPR's Elissa Nadworny has reported, anyone who is even considering going to college should \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/10/20/925739424/fafsa-college-financial-aid-help\">fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid\u003c/a>, or FAFSA, which can unlock all kinds of grants, scholarships and loans to help cover the cost of a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking out small loans can help students take more classes and reduce the need to work, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/14/667699220/the-benefits-of-taking-out-loans-for-college\">as Nadworny has reported\u003c/a>. But students — and especially student parents — should also be cautious when it comes to taking on long-term debt. In 2019, IWPR and Ascend, a policy arm of the nonprofit Aspen Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://iwpr.org/iwpr-issues/student-parent-success-initiative/parents-in-college-by-the-numbers/\">found that\u003c/a> the median debt among student parents was more than two and half times higher than debt among students without children. Single mothers also tend to borrow more than other student parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know that college isn't affordable for the majority of students,\" says Lindsey Reichlin Cruse, who co-authored the 2019 study. \"But when you have a child or multiple children, you're providing housing and food on top of tuition.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timeline for tuition payments can also be an important factor. Myrna Perez, a mother of three in central Washington\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>says she chose to attend Pierce College because Pierce gave her the option to pay her tuition over time, instead of asking for thousands of dollars upfront.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no way I was going to come up with, like $20,000 in one month,\" Perez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>3.

Front Range Community College in Colorado offers \u003ca href=\"https://www.frontrange.edu/being-a-student/advising-and-counseling/single-parent-program\">personalized advising for single parents\u003c/a> – this is separate from the general academic advising center, so parenting students can talk to someone who may be more familiar with their unique situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once enrolled, Wilkerson recommends reaching out to an academic advisor before classes even start to help establish an immediate connection to someone who understands the intricacies of college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more efficient you are with planning your classes, the more chance you have of graduating,\" she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>4.

He believes institutions should continue to provide these flexible learning options. He also recommends asking admissions advisors about classroom attendance policies and flexible scheduling options for required courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, for many colleges, online learning is nothing new. The CalIfornia State University system is one of countless institutions that \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstateonline.net/\">allow students\u003c/a> to complete their degrees fully online.

She says if schools are going to be places where students consistently push against the edge of what they don’t know, testing new theories, and trying things out while learning from mistakes, those same qualities must be present for their teachers. It’s difficult for a teacher to facilitate that type of learning environment if they haven’t experienced it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are experiencing learning that in some way connects to or challenges fundamental assumptions you are making about yourself and the world, that’s when it’s going to be the most powerful,” Helsing said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get to that place, adults need to be part of a community of colleagues who support their growth. They need to feel safe to be vulnerable, to admit failings or mistakes and to trust that their colleagues are giving feedback in order to help them improve. But it also requires that adults are consistently pushing against the edge of what they don’t know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do you create the kind of challenge so people don’t get comfortable, but are constantly identifying new growth edges that challenge basic assumptions they have?” Helsing asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working right at that edge, where fundamental beliefs and mindsets surface and can be examined, is how adults move forward in their learning, said Helsing. This theory of change recognizes that those beliefs may have served the person well for most of their career, but have now become a hindrance to growth. Having time and space to look at those values within the context of their work can help people see that and move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for a growth culture to truly take hold and become self-perpetuating, the system needs to have structures that support this work as part of the day-to-day functioning of the school or district. Pushing at growth edges has to become a regular part of how the work gets done for it to become cultural change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These three areas, what Helsing calls “home, edge and groove,” are crucial to a growth culture in any workplace, including schools. But schools are not businesses and don’t operate in the same way as for-profit companies. To test whether this model could help a district change its adult learning culture, Pivot Learning has been working with \u003ca href=\"https://www.mpusd.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monterey Peninsula Unified School District\u003c/a> to gather data on the current culture and improve upon it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key thing is how do we make sure this connects with the mission critical work the schools are already doing? This can’t be extra,” said Robert Curtis, vice president of education programs at Pivot Learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curtis understands that teachers and schools already have too many demands on their time. For a growth culture to take hold and actually change how adult learning in the district happens, it can’t be extra work. Instead, Curtis and others encouraged the four schools and one district department who volunteered to participate in the study to consider this a way to move forward on the issues that are already central to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to build the internal capacity for them to learn together and create a safe space for leaders to try things out,” Curtis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pivot Learning chose Monterey for \u003ca href=\"https://www.pivotlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/pivot-growth-culture-whitepaper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this study\u003c/a> because it’s superintendent \u003ca href=\"https://www.mpusd.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1006811&type=d&pREC_ID=1318042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK Diffenbaugh\u003c/a> went through the Harvard leadership training and already believes in the power of growth culture.

The survey asked questions about how safe people felt trying new things or being vulnerable with co-workers; whether there were internal processes to surface feedback to leaders; are there clear processes for improving the work everyone does?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 1,100 staff in the district 770 completed the survey, which showed Monterey was like many other places – it had room to improve. Then district leadership and Pivot looked for teams interested in working on improving their cultures, eventually recruiting four schools and the human resource department to participate in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://montevista.mpusd.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monte Vista Elementary\u003c/a> was a clear outlier in the district from survey responses. It was clear that principal Joe Ashby had already been working to create a strong school culture, which was reflected in the survey responses from his staff. His school was also improving more rapidly than schools with lower culture scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put your teachers through experiences that create special places,” Ashby said. “When you come together as a staff, anchor them in a purpose, build connections and create a space for vulnerability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Ashby became principal five years ago he had done his own survey of his staff. He found they were thirsty for professional development that would connect directly to what they were doing in the classroom. Ashby came in with a strong vision of using student data, instructional rounds and teacher-leaders to improve student achievement. He then worked with teacher leaders to align professional development to those goals. He conducted one-on-ones with staff and helped grade level teams set goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything that I was putting out wasn’t just coming from me,” Ashby said. “It was coming from their fellow teachers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashby’s leadership style naturally aligned with many of the principles of a growth culture, one reason why his school’s staff responses were more positive than other parts of the district. But he wanted to get even better, so he volunteered to participate in the Pivot Learning trainings around growth culture with key members of his leadership team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strategies to Build a Growth Culture\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a month, the participating schools and human resources department would convene to learn together and try out \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cd1-1ThUbNDebzL88e5EJtte4VwA7xLo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strategies\u003c/a> for building culture. They shared with one another how activities went with their school site staff and got ideas from one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tried to anchor this in what we want for students,” Curtis said. Pivot Learning shared tools and strategies to create space for staff vulnerability and feedback and helped leaders to articulate how individual goals connect to larger shared goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They used the Youth Truth survey to bring student feedback into their conversations about improvement. That survey revealed that a majority of students didn’t feel known by their teachers or felt that teachers held low expectations for them. That data got school leaders thinking about how to help their staff build relationships with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One practice that Curtis encouraged at every professional development session was a check-in – a chance for each person to say what’s on their mind and what they need to let go of in their personal lives in order to focus on the work at hand. It’s a protocol that acknowledges that every professional has a personal life too. Principals decided to bring that protocol back to their schools to try with teachers during staff meetings. If it was successful there, they hoped teachers would then do something similar with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another activity that school leaders tested in the Pivot Learning professional development, each person had to \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hH_hEL-_1EPbgvSV4D0MdPU9wJHuNkTUQ-P2slr7hKA/edit#slide=id.p1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create a user manual\u003c/a> for working with them. Curtis encouraged the principals to reflect on how they like to communicate, what their values are, how others can help or support them and what people commonly misunderstand about them. Practicing the activity together empowered principals and the head of human resources to bring the activity back to their employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, leaders were confronting their own mindsets and how they might get in the way of the work. For example, leaders often thought they were clearly communicating one message to their staff, only to find out through survey responses that staff disagreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of assumptions, that they thought they were vulnerable, but then they took the survey and were surprised that most of the staff didn’t think they were open to feedback,” Curtis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was often hard for principals like Ashby to hear, but forced them to reevaluate how they were communicating their own professional goals to staff. It wasn’t clear enough that they truly desired feedback in order to reach those goals. They had to rethink how to open up lines of communication and actively work to make staff feel more comfortable giving them honest feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizations like this are central to the growth culture theory of change. It’s only when working right up against the edge of the unknown that that these types of mindsets surface. And only when they are clearly getting in the way of a leader or teacher’s goals, will they be addressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re pouring in resources and time and you’re not addressing underlying beliefs and culture then I don’t think many of these things are going to be successful,” Curtis said of school improvement efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sEW113-CIGzrlfWdF6_qJo3JSgNnLn71z53pmyTVJ_E/edit#slide=id.g63a3ce1e1e_2_185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spending a year with the leadership teams\u003c/a> working on strategies to develop a growth culture and encouraging those leaders to use those strategies with staff, Pivot Learning gave Monterey Unified staff another survey to see if they had improved. All the participating sites showed some improvement on the post-survey and the district overall saw a slight improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The principals are still getting together and continuing to work on this,” Curtis said. “There’s a huge value in the network and having allies across the district that you can connect with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest unexpected wins for principals may lie with the transformation in the human resources department. As a central office department, the human resources staff didn’t normally get to participate in professional development of this type. But members of that department experienced some of the most tremendous improvement in creating a growth culture of any of the pilot sites. Perhaps more importantly, they were in the same room with principals and teachers as they made themselves vulnerable. They heard the reports from leaders each week about what strategies worked well and which ones didn’t. All that collaborative work gave the human resources professionals a much better idea of who to look for when the district hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Learning is really the engine here and it’s hard,” said Deb Hesling, the Harvard professor whose work, along with colleagues, inspired this approach to professional development. “You’re getting out to the edge of what you know, and you’re testing new ideas out, and making mistakes and learning from those mistakes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big takeaway from this pilot study is that leaders must lead the work in a transparent way. And they have to challenge their own assumptions about how their staff perceive them. For many teachers, a principal who encourages risk taking, failure and learning may feel very different and a bit scary. Leaders can’t assume that all teachers will take them at their word when they say they invite feedback. And when they get negative feedback, they have to model graciously accepting it and making visible steps towards using it.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Teachers and administrators in Monterey, California experimented with strategies to build school cultures where the adults are always learning and transferring that excitement and willingness to take risks to students.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1580110176,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":39,"wordCount":2129},"headData":{"title":"Why Focusing On Adult Learning Builds A School Culture Where Students Thrive | KQED","description":"Teachers and administrators in Monterey, California experimented with strategies to build school cultures where the adults are always learning and transferring that excitement and willingness to take risks to students.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"54750 https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/?p=54750","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2020/01/26/why-focusing-on-adult-learning-builds-a-school-culture-where-students-thrive/","disqusTitle":"Why Focusing On Adult Learning Builds A School Culture Where Students Thrive","path":"/mindshift/54750/why-focusing-on-adult-learning-builds-a-school-culture-where-students-thrive","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>When policymakers and school leaders talk about improving schools, much of the focus is on test scores, teaching strategies, curriculum and other services consumed directly by students.

It’s difficult for a teacher to facilitate that type of learning environment if they haven’t experienced it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are experiencing learning that in some way connects to or challenges fundamental assumptions you are making about yourself and the world, that’s when it’s going to be the most powerful,” Helsing said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get to that place, adults need to be part of a community of colleagues who support their growth. They need to feel safe to be vulnerable, to admit failings or mistakes and to trust that their colleagues are giving feedback in order to help them improve. But it also requires that adults are consistently pushing against the edge of what they don’t know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do you create the kind of challenge so people don’t get comfortable, but are constantly identifying new growth edges that challenge basic assumptions they have?” Helsing asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working right at that edge, where fundamental beliefs and mindsets surface and can be examined, is how adults move forward in their learning, said Helsing. This theory of change recognizes that those beliefs may have served the person well for most of their career, but have now become a hindrance to growth. Having time and space to look at those values within the context of their work can help people see that and move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for a growth culture to truly take hold and become self-perpetuating, the system needs to have structures that support this work as part of the day-to-day functioning of the school or district. Pushing at growth edges has to become a regular part of how the work gets done for it to become cultural change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These three areas, what Helsing calls “home, edge and groove,” are crucial to a growth culture in any workplace, including schools. But schools are not businesses and don’t operate in the same way as for-profit companies. To test whether this model could help a district change its adult learning culture, Pivot Learning has been working with \u003ca href=\"https://www.mpusd.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monterey Peninsula Unified School District\u003c/a> to gather data on the current culture and improve upon it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key thing is how do we make sure this connects with the mission critical work the schools are already doing? This can’t be extra,” said Robert Curtis, vice president of education programs at Pivot Learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curtis understands that teachers and schools already have too many demands on their time. For a growth culture to take hold and actually change how adult learning in the district happens, it can’t be extra work. Instead, Curtis and others encouraged the four schools and one district department who volunteered to participate in the study to consider this a way to move forward on the issues that are already central to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to build the internal capacity for them to learn together and create a safe space for leaders to try things out,” Curtis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pivot Learning chose Monterey for \u003ca href=\"https://www.pivotlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/pivot-growth-culture-whitepaper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this study\u003c/a> because it’s superintendent \u003ca href=\"https://www.mpusd.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1006811&type=d&pREC_ID=1318042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK Diffenbaugh\u003c/a> went through the Harvard leadership training and already believes in the power of growth culture.

The survey asked questions about how safe people felt trying new things or being vulnerable with co-workers; whether there were internal processes to surface feedback to leaders; are there clear processes for improving the work everyone does?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 1,100 staff in the district 770 completed the survey, which showed Monterey was like many other places – it had room to improve. Then district leadership and Pivot looked for teams interested in working on improving their cultures, eventually recruiting four schools and the human resource department to participate in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://montevista.mpusd.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monte Vista Elementary\u003c/a> was a clear outlier in the district from survey responses. It was clear that principal Joe Ashby had already been working to create a strong school culture, which was reflected in the survey responses from his staff. His school was also improving more rapidly than schools with lower culture scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Put your teachers through experiences that create special places,” Ashby said. “When you come together as a staff, anchor them in a purpose, build connections and create a space for vulnerability.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Ashby became principal five years ago he had done his own survey of his staff. He found they were thirsty for professional development that would connect directly to what they were doing in the classroom. Ashby came in with a strong vision of using student data, instructional rounds and teacher-leaders to improve student achievement. He then worked with teacher leaders to align professional development to those goals. He conducted one-on-ones with staff and helped grade level teams set goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anything that I was putting out wasn’t just coming from me,” Ashby said. “It was coming from their fellow teachers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ashby’s leadership style naturally aligned with many of the principles of a growth culture, one reason why his school’s staff responses were more positive than other parts of the district. But he wanted to get even better, so he volunteered to participate in the Pivot Learning trainings around growth culture with key members of his leadership team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strategies to Build a Growth Culture\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a month, the participating schools and human resources department would convene to learn together and try out \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cd1-1ThUbNDebzL88e5EJtte4VwA7xLo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strategies\u003c/a> for building culture. They shared with one another how activities went with their school site staff and got ideas from one another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We tried to anchor this in what we want for students,” Curtis said. Pivot Learning shared tools and strategies to create space for staff vulnerability and feedback and helped leaders to articulate how individual goals connect to larger shared goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They used the Youth Truth survey to bring student feedback into their conversations about improvement. That survey revealed that a majority of students didn’t feel known by their teachers or felt that teachers held low expectations for them. That data got school leaders thinking about how to help their staff build relationships with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One practice that Curtis encouraged at every professional development session was a check-in – a chance for each person to say what’s on their mind and what they need to let go of in their personal lives in order to focus on the work at hand. It’s a protocol that acknowledges that every professional has a personal life too. Principals decided to bring that protocol back to their schools to try with teachers during staff meetings. If it was successful there, they hoped teachers would then do something similar with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another activity that school leaders tested in the Pivot Learning professional development, each person had to \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hH_hEL-_1EPbgvSV4D0MdPU9wJHuNkTUQ-P2slr7hKA/edit#slide=id.p1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create a user manual\u003c/a> for working with them. Curtis encouraged the principals to reflect on how they like to communicate, what their values are, how others can help or support them and what people commonly misunderstand about them. Practicing the activity together empowered principals and the head of human resources to bring the activity back to their employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, leaders were confronting their own mindsets and how they might get in the way of the work. For example, leaders often thought they were clearly communicating one message to their staff, only to find out through survey responses that staff disagreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of assumptions, that they thought they were vulnerable, but then they took the survey and were surprised that most of the staff didn’t think they were open to feedback,” Curtis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was often hard for principals like Ashby to hear, but forced them to reevaluate how they were communicating their own professional goals to staff. It wasn’t clear enough that they truly desired feedback in order to reach those goals. They had to rethink how to open up lines of communication and actively work to make staff feel more comfortable giving them honest feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Realizations like this are central to the growth culture theory of change. It’s only when working right up against the edge of the unknown that that these types of mindsets surface. And only when they are clearly getting in the way of a leader or teacher’s goals, will they be addressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re pouring in resources and time and you’re not addressing underlying beliefs and culture then I don’t think many of these things are going to be successful,” Curtis said of school improvement efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sEW113-CIGzrlfWdF6_qJo3JSgNnLn71z53pmyTVJ_E/edit#slide=id.g63a3ce1e1e_2_185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spending a year with the leadership teams\u003c/a> working on strategies to develop a growth culture and encouraging those leaders to use those strategies with staff, Pivot Learning gave Monterey Unified staff another survey to see if they had improved. All the participating sites showed some improvement on the post-survey and the district overall saw a slight improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The principals are still getting together and continuing to work on this,” Curtis said. “There’s a huge value in the network and having allies across the district that you can connect with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest unexpected wins for principals may lie with the transformation in the human resources department. As a central office department, the human resources staff didn’t normally get to participate in professional development of this type. But members of that department experienced some of the most tremendous improvement in creating a growth culture of any of the pilot sites. Perhaps more importantly, they were in the same room with principals and teachers as they made themselves vulnerable. They heard the reports from leaders each week about what strategies worked well and which ones didn’t. All that collaborative work gave the human resources professionals a much better idea of who to look for when the district hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Learning is really the engine here and it’s hard,” said Deb Hesling, the Harvard professor whose work, along with colleagues, inspired this approach to professional development. “You’re getting out to the edge of what you know, and you’re testing new ideas out, and making mistakes and learning from those mistakes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big takeaway from this pilot study is that leaders must lead the work in a transparent way. And they have to challenge their own assumptions about how their staff perceive them. For many teachers, a principal who encourages risk taking, failure and learning may feel very different and a bit scary. Leaders can’t assume that all teachers will take them at their word when they say they invite feedback. And when they get negative feedback, they have to model graciously accepting it and making visible steps towards using it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/54750/why-focusing-on-adult-learning-builds-a-school-culture-where-students-thrive","authors":["234"],"categories":["mindshift_192","mindshift_193"],"tags":["mindshift_37","mindshift_21178","mindshift_20784","mindshift_1040","mindshift_20512","mindshift_1041","mindshift_96","mindshift_21049","mindshift_486"],"featImg":"mindshift_54759","label":"mindshift"},"mindshift_52767":{"type":"posts","id":"mindshift_52767","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"mindshift","id":"52767","score":null,"sort":[1545847974000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"in-never-too-late-finally-a-guide-for-adults-going-to-college","title":"In 'Never Too Late,' Finally, A Guide For Adults Going To College","publishDate":1545847974,"format":"standard","headTitle":"MindShift | KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"mindshift"},"content":"\u003cp>There are hundreds of books about picking the best college.

So you need to find a college that has flexible programs that offer classes after hours or on weekends; or a school that offers blended learning — online and face-to-face — that you can fit into your busy work life.

They can't go back to their high school and get advice from their old guidance counselor or their kids' guidance counselor. So even though there's a lot of lip service paid to the importance of lifelong learning and it's a no-brainer to go back to school and to get a degree, the real amazing thing is that we don't have a system that's set up to help people make good decisions about going back to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an ideal world, we would have a whole network of career and education advisors available to every American. And that's something that's really needed, but we don't have that right now. The more ways we can provide adults with guides or tips or resources to help with their decision-making, the better — because it's so important to avoid costly mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do adults starting this process need to know?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First thing I want them to know: Even though a family member might have gone to a certain college or university, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the right choice for them. Certainly ask people you know for their guidance, but keep in mind that you need to do your own research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2: Find a place that acknowledges who you are at this stage in your life. And that can manifest itself in a number of different ways. It can mean that a school is not expecting you to drop everything and go to school full-time; they understand that you have work and family obligations and they help design a program that's going to fit into your busy lifestyle. It could also mean a program that really acknowledges the diverse experiences that students are bringing to the classroom — so instructors are not just assuming that you're coming right out of high school, but that you have learned from your own life — and they see that experience has relevance in the classroom that can contribute to the class in a very unique way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, look for places that have something called a \"prior learning assessment.\" This is a method for evaluating a student's [knowledge] that they've acquired from work or life or military experience. Some colleges use tests, \u003ca href=\"https://clep.collegeboard.org/school-policy-search\">like the CLEP\u003c/a>, to award college credit; others have faculty members create a special exam based on a course; while other schools have a student put together a portfolio of their learning with documentation, and have that evaluated by a faculty member for college credit. It's really important for somebody who has had a lot of work experience or has had a lot of military training; it can really help you finish your degree a whole lot faster and a whole lot cheaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are your tips for helping adults overcoming their anxieties around going back to school?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people are nervous about it and are envisioning being the oldest person in the class. This is a totally normal thing to be feeling, but it's OK, you're gonna be fine, and there are colleges that will help you succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book offers some tips for how to build support at home for what you're trying to do. It includes some exercises to help you recognize all the skills that you already have — this includes time management, attention to detail, things like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other important thing to do is to help adults identify why they want to go back to school. If you can identify what it is that's motivating you, then that can be your rallying cry when you're starting to feel discouraged or anxious about starting school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in addition to really helping adults ask the right questions about what kind of college is going to support me and be a good fit for me, it's also helping them really understand why it is they are doing this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Of course, some people can and that's great, but a lot of people can't. So you need to find a college that has flexible programs that offer classes after hours or on weekends; or a school that offers blended learning — online and face-to-face — that you can fit into your busy work life. There are other colleges that have shorter terms or terms that start at different points of the traditional school year, so it allows a lot more flexibility for taking on courses when they fit into your life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/678815882/never-too-late-the-adult-student-s-guide-to-college\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright wp-image-52770\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/never-too-late_custom-7790e3fdd63dc896eb2cf6a5a77dda2952d2c612-s300-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/never-too-late_custom-7790e3fdd63dc896eb2cf6a5a77dda2952d2c612-s300-c85.jpg 300w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/never-too-late_custom-7790e3fdd63dc896eb2cf6a5a77dda2952d2c612-s300-c85-160x239.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2018/12/never-too-late_custom-7790e3fdd63dc896eb2cf6a5a77dda2952d2c612-s300-c85-240x359.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\">\u003c/a>Where can adults turn for advice on going back to college? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adults are really on their own in trying to figure this whole thing out because there isn't a system in place that's helping them make these decisions. They can't go back to their high school and get advice from their old guidance counselor or their kids' guidance counselor. So even though there's a lot of lip service paid to the importance of lifelong learning and it's a no-brainer to go back to school and to get a degree, the real amazing thing is that we don't have a system that's set up to help people make good decisions about going back to school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an ideal world, we would have a whole network of career and education advisors available to every American. And that's something that's really needed, but we don't have that right now. The more ways we can provide adults with guides or tips or resources to help with their decision-making, the better — because it's so important to avoid costly mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do adults starting this process need to know?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First thing I want them to know: Even though a family member might have gone to a certain college or university, that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the right choice for them. Certainly ask people you know for their guidance, but keep in mind that you need to do your own research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2: Find a place that acknowledges who you are at this stage in your life. And that can manifest itself in a number of different ways. It can mean that a school is not expecting you to drop everything and go to school full-time; they understand that you have work and family obligations and they help design a program that's going to fit into your busy lifestyle. It could also mean a program that really acknowledges the diverse experiences that students are bringing to the classroom — so instructors are not just assuming that you're coming right out of high school, but that you have learned from your own life — and they see that experience has relevance in the classroom that can contribute to the class in a very unique way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, look for places that have something called a \"prior learning assessment.\" This is a method for evaluating a student's [knowledge] that they've acquired from work or life or military experience. Some colleges use tests, \u003ca href=\"https://clep.collegeboard.org/school-policy-search\">like the CLEP\u003c/a>, to award college credit; others have faculty members create a special exam based on a course; while other schools have a student put together a portfolio of their learning with documentation, and have that evaluated by a faculty member for college credit. It's really important for somebody who has had a lot of work experience or has had a lot of military training; it can really help you finish your degree a whole lot faster and a whole lot cheaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are your tips for helping adults overcoming their anxieties around going back to school?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people are nervous about it and are envisioning being the oldest person in the class. This is a totally normal thing to be feeling, but it's OK, you're gonna be fine, and there are colleges that will help you succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book offers some tips for how to build support at home for what you're trying to do. It includes some exercises to help you recognize all the skills that you already have — this includes time management, attention to detail, things like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other important thing to do is to help adults identify why they want to go back to school. If you can identify what it is that's motivating you, then that can be your rallying cry when you're starting to feel discouraged or anxious about starting school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in addition to really helping adults ask the right questions about what kind of college is going to support me and be a good fit for me, it's also helping them really understand why it is they are doing this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

But if you ask incoming adult community college students about their educational aspirations, more than 70 percent want to get a bachelor's or beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even setting aside the question of students' aspirations, something else is wrong with the \"skills gap\" model of workforce training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem finding good hires is actually a jumble of different realities. In some sectors (for instance, advanced, digitally driven manufacturing), innovation has outpaced training, and there is truly a shortage of technically skilled workers. Higher ed needs to work with employers and government in these targeted sectors to fill a real \"skills gap.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other sectors, employers complain they can't find workers with communications, problem-solving and other soft skills. The solution to that is more liberal learning, not more technical workforce training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In still other sectors, employers can't meet their needs because of wage stagnation, part-timing, abusive scheduling and other workplace problems. Their \"skills\" gap is actually a \"wage and workplace gap.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And lurking over all of this is the ongoing juggernaut of automation. Many of the jobs for which workplace training programs prepare adults will disappear in the next five to 10 years. Employers will replace them as soon as it makes financial sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often workers and adult learners understand this perfectly. One UAW veteran told me — after attaining his bachelor's — that most of the retraining programs were a scam: \"They train union members for fewer and fewer jobs. A couple years later, it's the same thing all over again.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You talk about a \"narrative of personal transformation\" that's important to these students. Why?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I noted above, job security and economic success are key goals of college for nearly all students, young and old. But students also see college as a journey of personal growth, a way of laying claim to their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For most nontraditional students, this dimension of \"self-authoring\" (in the words of psychologist Marcia Baxter Magolda) is not less crucial, but even more. They often feel that they have failed in some way the customary narrative of high-school-to-college that defines successful adulthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always felt less-than,\" I was told by Wendy, a returning student in Washington State and a staffer at a wildlife center. \"I feel like an impostor.

Wait a minute. I have arrived.' But then I thought like, 'What did I arrive to?' This has been a lifelong journey for me. It was, like, to meet a long-term goal, that had never happened to me before.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What reasons do people give for returning to college or beginning as an adult?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adult learners are incredibly diverse: the Iraq War veteran, the office worker breaking through a glass ceiling, the 20-something barista or construction worker who wasn't ready for college the first time. The reasons they give are often a complicated mix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorian, another Washington State adult student, told me:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I came back to college because I felt like an angry underling. I had a good job, but I didn't get respect at work. I felt slapped, like I didn't amount to anything without that piece of paper. So I returned to school because of career goals. But my parents are gone, and I also came back for them.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Policy-makers often try to separate out these motivations and prioritize the economic ones: \"So I returned to school because of career goals.\" But what matters is precisely the jumbled, human mixture of motives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Many of these narratives also have a redemptive arc. Talk about what some of the students you've spoken with have told you about the obstacles they have overcome to give college another try.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let me briefly describe some of The New School students who cured me of my cluelessness about the nontraditional majority. There was Mui Ying, a 30-something from a Chinese immigrant family: She paid the rent as a technician for a pharmaceutical lab, but she had started a swimwear design business on the side, selling out of her car trunk while she finished school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was Dave, an African-American veteran who got a business degree in community college but was committed to getting a liberal-arts BA. Jamara was a mom, a server at a restaurant and an aspiring spoken-word poet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The obstacles they face are as diverse as their lives. But here's one key way of understanding what they share: Adult, nontraditional students have to fit their studies into complex lives with multiple roles and stressors, rather than being able to organize their work and social life around a central role as a college student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are \"Great Colleges for the New Majority\"? What do they have in common? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Great Colleges For the New Majority is a self-selected network of adult-serving bachelor's programs. They often have graduation rates of 80 percent or more. Their curricula have a wide range of structures, but all of them offer an education that is transformative, that enables students to lay claim to their own lives and define their own journey. All of them are characterized by cultures of strong support — both the \"vertical support\" of mentors, advisers and teachers, and the \"horizontal support\" of strong peer community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is that horizontal support so important? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I have learned in my research and teaching, peer support turns out to be part of the secret sauce for adult success. The programs in the Great Colleges Network tend to nurture cultures of sustained peer-to-peer help; students simply won't let each other fail. This is a component of adult college-going that mass online completion colleges have trouble replicating. It's one reason for their lower rates of completion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about the argument that colleges can't afford to invest this much in adult learners? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short answer No. 1: Adult learners are actually less expensive to educate, because they don't need many of the resources that late-adolescent, residential students require. Adults don't need more resources; they need colleges and universities to redesign their resources in ways that meet adult students in their lives — for instance, by offering more flexible academic calendars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short answer No. 2: Colleges understand that they cannot afford \u003cem>not\u003c/em> to invest in adult learners. Neither higher ed, nor the job market, nor our democracy can succeed if we don't do a better job of offering great, transformative opportunities to the millions of adults in college and the millions who seek to return to college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short answer No. 3: Let's not lowball the investment in adult students with cheap-and-dirty workforce training. Adult learners shouldn't be pushed to attain a credential simply to fulfill short-term labor market gaps or to boost policy-makers' completion goals. They should be educated because they deserve a great education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

It was, like, to meet a long-term goal, that had never happened to me before.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What reasons do people give for returning to college or beginning as an adult?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adult learners are incredibly diverse: the Iraq War veteran, the office worker breaking through a glass ceiling, the 20-something barista or construction worker who wasn't ready for college the first time. The reasons they give are often a complicated mix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorian, another Washington State adult student, told me:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I came back to college because I felt like an angry underling. I had a good job, but I didn't get respect at work. I felt slapped, like I didn't amount to anything without that piece of paper. So I returned to school because of career goals. But my parents are gone, and I also came back for them.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Policy-makers often try to separate out these motivations and prioritize the economic ones: \"So I returned to school because of career goals.\" But what matters is precisely the jumbled, human mixture of motives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Many of these narratives also have a redemptive arc. Talk about what some of the students you've spoken with have told you about the obstacles they have overcome to give college another try.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let me briefly describe some of The New School students who cured me of my cluelessness about the nontraditional majority. There was Mui Ying, a 30-something from a Chinese immigrant family: She paid the rent as a technician for a pharmaceutical lab, but she had started a swimwear design business on the side, selling out of her car trunk while she finished school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was Dave, an African-American veteran who got a business degree in community college but was committed to getting a liberal-arts BA. Jamara was a mom, a server at a restaurant and an aspiring spoken-word poet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The obstacles they face are as diverse as their lives. But here's one key way of understanding what they share: Adult, nontraditional students have to fit their studies into complex lives with multiple roles and stressors, rather than being able to organize their work and social life around a central role as a college student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are \"Great Colleges for the New Majority\"? What do they have in common? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Great Colleges For the New Majority is a self-selected network of adult-serving bachelor's programs. They often have graduation rates of 80 percent or more. Their curricula have a wide range of structures, but all of them offer an education that is transformative, that enables students to lay claim to their own lives and define their own journey. All of them are characterized by cultures of strong support — both the \"vertical support\" of mentors, advisers and teachers, and the \"horizontal support\" of strong peer community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is that horizontal support so important? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I have learned in my research and teaching, peer support turns out to be part of the secret sauce for adult success. The programs in the Great Colleges Network tend to nurture cultures of sustained peer-to-peer help; students simply won't let each other fail. This is a component of adult college-going that mass online completion colleges have trouble replicating. It's one reason for their lower rates of completion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about the argument that colleges can't afford to invest this much in adult learners? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short answer No. 1: Adult learners are actually less expensive to educate, because they don't need many of the resources that late-adolescent, residential students require. Adults don't need more resources; they need colleges and universities to redesign their resources in ways that meet adult students in their lives — for instance, by offering more flexible academic calendars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short answer No. 2: Colleges understand that they cannot afford \u003cem>not\u003c/em> to invest in adult learners. Neither higher ed, nor the job market, nor our democracy can succeed if we don't do a better job of offering great, transformative opportunities to the millions of adults in college and the millions who seek to return to college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short answer No. 3: Let's not lowball the investment in adult students with cheap-and-dirty workforce training. Adult learners shouldn't be pushed to attain a credential simply to fulfill short-term labor market gaps or to boost policy-makers' completion goals.

Facilitators found that four-to-nine people is a good number for a group. If more people show up for a class, they can be broken up into multiple circles. In order to run a group, librarians set up the space for group learning and make laptops available when needed. The library chooses which free online classes it will support based on local needs, like GED completion, registered nursing exam preparation, academic writing and public speaking.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Public libraries are often referred to as the people’s university,” said Mark Anderson, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">director of Learning and Economic Advancement\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of CPL, at the SXSWEDU conference. Library patrons traditionally come in, find resources, and are left on their own to learn the material. But with the P2PU partnership, funded by a \u003ca href=\"http://www.knightfoundation.org/press-room/press-release/knight-news-challenge-libraries-awards-3-million-i/\">Knight Foundation\u003c/a> News Challenge on Libraries grant, Anderson said librarians were able to take a more active role in facilitating learning. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The idea of working and creating these Learning Circles really helped us move closer to that ideal of being the people’s university to help people progress, with some facilitation on our part,” Anderson said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learning Circles are not limited to libraries, but are designed for use somewhere people can come together and take a course online. The model could also be used to fill in gaps in educational offerings both in school and the professional world, according to P2PU learning lead, Grif Peterson. \u003c/span>\"You can see the Learning Circles that are popping up \u003ca href=\"https://learningcircles.p2pu.org/en/\">around the world\u003c/a>,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pilot program has had a broad range of learners, from teenagers to adult professionals, looking to change their careers or improve their skills. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One such student was Lupe Philips, a 53-year-old tourism professional. She was between jobs and looking to upgrade her skills. She’s an avid library user, and when she found out about the Learning Circles, she signed up for HTML/CSS, public speaking and novel writing. She said it was a welcoming change to engage with learners and enormously helpful that the courses were free.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was an avenue for me to upgrade my skills,” said Philips. “I may not be a master, but at least I have some concept of working HTML.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Learning Circles introduced her to MOOCs for the first time, and she appreciated the feedback from her peers and facilitators in a small group setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They did provide some critical feedback that I thought was necessary and I don’t think you would get that if you were taking an online course by yourself and not having to be accountable in a week’s time,” said Philips.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44787\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112.jpg\" alt=\"GNP_4112\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting people to the Learning Circles required some marketing outreach. Librarians attended local events and posted offerings on CPL's website. Much of their marketing efforts were low-tech: fliers in and around libraries, coffee shops and community centers. Libraries, in general, have some work to do in spreading the word about the services they offer; a recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/04/07/libraries-and-learning\">Pew Research Center survey\u003c/a> found that many people don’t know about education resources offered by libraries. Of people surveyed by Pew, half didn’t know if their local libraries offered online programs for GED completion or mastery of new skills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CPL's outreach efforts helped a new population of learners take advantage of MOOCs -- 90 percent of those who attended a Learning Circle heard about it through the library and 65 percent of those had never taken an online course before, said Peterson. Retention rates were around 45 – 55 percent, according to Peterson. He also noted that students were more compelled to take online courses on their own after the guided experience and continued to do work outside of the learning circles.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learning Circles also helped librarians interact with patrons in new ways. They found themselves forming friendships and building community through repeated interactions. “It was just really enjoyable,” said Edson. “By the end of [the course], you know their names, at least if they’ve come enough times, so you can see them at the library and say ‘hi’ and have a more personal conversation with them than before, just sitting at a reference desk.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"In order to help learners make the most of MOOCs, librarians at Chicago Public Library partnered with Peer 2 Peer University to make online learning social in person.

The library chooses which free online classes it will support based on local needs, like GED completion, registered nursing exam preparation, academic writing and public speaking.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Public libraries are often referred to as the people’s university,” said Mark Anderson, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">director of Learning and Economic Advancement\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of CPL, at the SXSWEDU conference. Library patrons traditionally come in, find resources, and are left on their own to learn the material. But with the P2PU partnership, funded by a \u003ca href=\"http://www.knightfoundation.org/press-room/press-release/knight-news-challenge-libraries-awards-3-million-i/\">Knight Foundation\u003c/a> News Challenge on Libraries grant, Anderson said librarians were able to take a more active role in facilitating learning. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The idea of working and creating these Learning Circles really helped us move closer to that ideal of being the people’s university to help people progress, with some facilitation on our part,” Anderson said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learning Circles are not limited to libraries, but are designed for use somewhere people can come together and take a course online. The model could also be used to fill in gaps in educational offerings both in school and the professional world, according to P2PU learning lead, Grif Peterson. \u003c/span>\"You can see the Learning Circles that are popping up \u003ca href=\"https://learningcircles.p2pu.org/en/\">around the world\u003c/a>,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pilot program has had a broad range of learners, from teenagers to adult professionals, looking to change their careers or improve their skills. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One such student was Lupe Philips, a 53-year-old tourism professional. She was between jobs and looking to upgrade her skills. She’s an avid library user, and when she found out about the Learning Circles, she signed up for HTML/CSS, public speaking and novel writing. She said it was a welcoming change to engage with learners and enormously helpful that the courses were free.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was an avenue for me to upgrade my skills,” said Philips. “I may not be a master, but at least I have some concept of working HTML.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Learning Circles introduced her to MOOCs for the first time, and she appreciated the feedback from her peers and facilitators in a small group setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They did provide some critical feedback that I thought was necessary and I don’t think you would get that if you were taking an online course by yourself and not having to be accountable in a week’s time,” said Philips.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44787\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112.jpg\" alt=\"GNP_4112\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/23/2016/04/GNP_4112-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting people to the Learning Circles required some marketing outreach. Librarians attended local events and posted offerings on CPL's website. Much of their marketing efforts were low-tech: fliers in and around libraries, coffee shops and community centers. Libraries, in general, have some work to do in spreading the word about the services they offer; a recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/04/07/libraries-and-learning\">Pew Research Center survey\u003c/a> found that many people don’t know about education resources offered by libraries. Of people surveyed by Pew, half didn’t know if their local libraries offered online programs for GED completion or mastery of new skills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CPL's outreach efforts helped a new population of learners take advantage of MOOCs -- 90 percent of those who attended a Learning Circle heard about it through the library and 65 percent of those had never taken an online course before, said Peterson. Retention rates were around 45 – 55 percent, according to Peterson. He also noted that students were more compelled to take online courses on their own after the guided experience and continued to do work outside of the learning circles.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learning Circles also helped librarians interact with patrons in new ways. They found themselves forming friendships and building community through repeated interactions. “It was just really enjoyable,” said Edson. “By the end of [the course], you know their names, at least if they’ve come enough times, so you can see them at the library and say ‘hi’ and have a more personal conversation with them than before, just sitting at a reference desk.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/mindshift/44784/online-learning-why-libraries-could-be-the-key-to-moocs-success","authors":["4596"],"categories":["mindshift_192","mindshift_195"],"tags":["mindshift_37","mindshift_20784","mindshift_1040","mindshift_895","mindshift_20608","mindshift_384","mindshift_122","mindshift_20783"],"featImg":"mindshift_44785","label":"mindshift"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
