Connecting High Impact Practices and Student Success Measures

Conference Tracks

Assessment and SoTL - Research

Abstract

High-Impact Practices (HIPs) and Student Success are expanding in influence and have vaguely similar goals, but often have very different methods and measures. Georgia State University (GSU) has become a national model for student success measures, but these are generally based outside of classroom instruction. By connecting to some of these deeply embedded measures at GSU, and other well-established and documented practices, the Experiential, Project-based, Interdisciplinary Curriculum program at GSU is creating a sustainable model of developing, assessing, and implementing classroom-based HIPs to build off GSU’s student success accomplishments. Initial assessment data has shown significant gains.
