Minutes Alumni Room | McCarthy Campus Center

Tuesday, 21 November 2017 | 08:00 a.m. – 09:30 a.m.

Some of the updates sparked some questions from the BOT members; they are as follows. o Continuing Education:

F. J. Cevallos, Linda Vaden-Goad, and John Strickland visited the World of Work (WoW) program in Liverpool, England.

J. Strickland will undergo a training at John Moores University, then bring back his knowledge to the FSU community.

N. Budwig said that the program holds so much potential. She asked how students will take advantage of the program in their careers.

o S. Greenberg said that one complaint he hears from industry is that while students may have the technical skills necessary for their jobs, they lack adequate soft skills, such as problem solving, analytical reasoning, and giving presentations.

S. Greenberg said that these will be integrated into the program.

J. Strickland will work with the faculty to see what is actually happening in the classrooms.

o E. Beilin said that CELTSS would help with this; in fact, it has already started by offering new teaching circles.

o N. Budwig stated that there are achievement gaps for some FSU students. Those who would benefit most from the college experience are usually not able to obtain the resources necessary to have valuable learning experiences, such as study abroad.

N. Budwig said that she would be happy to share her research on this with E. Beilin.

o F. Quezada asked what FSU should expect financially from online learning programs. S. Greenberg mentioned that there is a state reciprocity program called SARA

that allows colleges and universities to offer online programs in other states without incurring fees. Massachusetts has just applied to participate in SARA. Once its application is approved, FSU will be able to apply as well. Membership in SARA will allow us to market our online programs in other states, thus resulting in increased enrollment and revenue.

There is a need for an online MBA program, and FSU's pricing structure is very competitive.

The major growth area in Continuing Education and Graduate Studies is online learning.

S. Greenberg is trying to bring more bachelor completion programs online as well, such as our major in Management.

o R. Logan asked about the revenue from online programming, and whether or not it is a potential profit center for FSU.

D. Hamel said that Continuing Education and Graduate Studies run their online learning programs as a profit center.

S. Greenberg confirmed that it is indeed a profit center. We are offering 25 online or hybrid courses during the Winter Intersession. During the summer, there are more students taking courses online than in the classroom.

The online courses are not meant to replace the traditional classroom; instead, they provide more options to current and potential students.

o F. Quezada told L. Flannagan that he has really hit the ground running in his area. He then asked to what degree FSU is making efforts to raise the consciousness of

educational policy, given that it is currently under threat by the Trump Administration.

Minutes Alumni Room | McCarthy Campus Center

Tuesday, 21 November 2017 | 08:00 a.m. – 09:30 a.m.

L. Flannagan said that there are always new requirements in this country for teacher programs and that FSU must be willing and able to comply.

Professors will submit expressions of concern, but they still must meet the standards and expectations of the state, the federal government, and accrediting bodies.

It is expensive to maintain accreditation and there is a lot of work that goes into it. Candidates are always informed of this in their interviews.

Closing

The meeting was adjourned N. Budwig.

NEED FOR PROGRAM & GRADUATES

• The Bachelor of Science degree program in Child and Family Studies will prepare students to work in the field of Early Education and Care (EEC) as teachers and directors/program administrators in early childhood care settings. There are significant needs in this field regionally and nationally.

• According to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, there will be a 9.3% increase in jobs for preschool care education administrators in the MetroWest area between 2016 and 2018.

• Employment projections for preschool teachers in the MetroWest area further suggest a 9.8% increase in these jobs during this same time period.

• Within the past year, approximately 180 early education and care centers from the MetroWest area posted employment positions in Framingham State University’s RamTrack. RamTrack is an online job posting database for students, alumni and employers.

• Fifty-eight percent of MetroWest area Early Education and Care (EEC) center directors/program administrators responded to a needs assessment survey in October of 2015.

NEED FOR PROGRAM & GRADUATES-CONTINUED

• Seventy-nine percent of center directors/program administrators stated a need for

staff holding a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education or a related field.

• Eighty-four percent of the participants indicated that if Framingham State offered

a major in Child and Family Studies, they would refer their staff members to

enroll in this program.

• Twenty-six child care center teachers/assistant teachers in the MetroWest area

responded to the survey. Fifty-six percent of respondents stated some interest in

receiving a BS degree in Child and Family Studies at FSU.

• Of the 287 FSU students who completed a similar questionnaire in June of 2017,

44.6% of respondents mentioned how they were somewhat likely, or very likely

to pursue the Child and Family Studies major.

major, followed by undeclared majors, and students enrolled in the College of

Social and Behavioral Sciences. The top six majors most likely to choose Child

and Family Studies were Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education,

Sociology, Psychology, English and undeclared major students.

STRATEGIES TO ATTRACT STUDENTS

• Framingham State will participate in the Mass Transfer Pathways for Early

Childhood Education. Students from approximately fifteen community

colleges in the Commonwealth will be able to transfer four courses into the

Child and Family Studies major.

• The Child and Family Studies major will attract underrepresented and

underserved groups at the university, as a result of recruitment visits by FSU

faculty/staff at local high schools. Collaborative recruitment initiatives will be

developed with MassBay, Quinsigamond and Middlesex Community Colleges

to attract students from these groups.

• Prospective students will receive information regarding the Mass Dept. of

Higher Education’s Early Childhood Educators Scholarship Program. The scholarship will provide financial assistance for employed early childhood,

and child care providers who enroll in an undergraduate, or graduate degree

program in Early Childhood Education or related programs.

Updates – Provost’s Direct Reports Wednesday, 7 March 2018

For the first time in ten years, incoming first-year students will choose their own classes for the first semester in Fall 2018. To assist, the Offices of Academic Advising and the Registrar’s Office are revising the First-Year Advising Guide so students are provided tools to learn the process of choosing courses.

Guided Pathways provide students with appropriate semester-by-semester course plans as dictated by academic departments. Incoming undeclared students will also be advised on appropriate course work to ensure they are exposed to potential majors without falling behind in their sequence toward a major.

Center for Academic Success & Achievement (CASA): LaDonna Bridges

● Supplemental Instruction (SI) is being offered in 35 courses this semester, providing more than 100 hours each week of peer-led tutoring for difficult courses with high rates of students earning Ds, Fs or withdrawing.

● Disability/Access Services is partnering with ETO to lead efforts around accessible coursework. A group of eight faculty across disciplines is piloting a Blackboard tool, Ally, to evaluate the accessibility of their online course materials. The tool also assists in correcting and improving issues of accessibility with course materials that are housed in Blackboard. The effort includes all courses and is not limited to online courses. A broader effort for accessible course materials will evolve from this group and across the University.

● Thirteen students with intellectual disabilities in transition programming at local school districts are auditing courses and participating in internships at FSU. The Diverse Scholars Program draws from neighboring school districts of Marlborough, Natick, Westborough, Hopkinton, Algonquin (Northborough/Southborough), Grafton and Assabet Valley Collaborative.

● In January, more than 90 first-year students participated in academic success programming at CASA which included meeting faculty, working with advisors, and learning about academic support resources.

● The AmeriCorps VISTA in CASA oversees three community mentorships involving Framingham State students: homework help at Framingham Housing Authority’s Musterfield Place; reading buddies at Bethany Hill; and college possible programming through Pelham Pals (Pelham Apartments).

● The Student Assistance Team (SAT) continues to work in tandem with faculty to address students of concern. The interdisciplinary team of academic affairs administrators, faculty, and student affairs representatives addressed concerns raised for nearly 50 students fall semester.

● The CASA Success Team managed nearly 2,500 flags raised through Starfish to address student academic performance during fall semester. Attendance, change in academic performance or underpreparedness represented the majority of the flags raised by faculty; general concerns about a student’s behavior were also raised through the tool and addressed. CASA continues to work closely with Lauren Keville to refine and broaden the use of the Starfish tool.

● LaDonna Bridges and Lauren Keville recently presented at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities annual Provost meeting in San Antonio, Texas, about FSU’s experience implementing Starfish. “Making Change Simple” was featured as part of the Reimagining the First Year initiative of AASCU.
