  • December 2019 Higher Education Cohorts
    December 2019 Higher Education Cohorts PD290© 2019 INCCRRA Cohort Pathways in Illinois: Innovative Models Supporting the Early Childhood Workforce Institutions of higher education in Illinois have long implemented collaborative, innovative strategies to support credential and degree attainment. The Illinois Governor’s Office of Early Childhood Development (GOECD) is invested in supporting flexible, responsive pathways to credentials and degree attainment for early childhood practitioners, as early childhood practitioners equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills are critical to developing and implementing high-quality early childhood experiences for young children and their families. At the same time, the State of Illinois is eager to ensure that pathways developed not only support entry into and progression within the field, but also are inclusive of and responsive to programs’ diverse and experienced staff members who have not yet attained new credentials and/or degrees. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the innovative work of Illinois institutions of higher education in creating cohort pathways that are responsive to the needs of the current and future early childhood workforce. Cohort models are commonly defined as a group of students moving through a program in a cohesive fashion with support provided for the overall healthy functioning of the group. In this paper, the highlighted cohort pathways focus on additional supports provided to cohort model participants (social and practical) as well as innovative model designs. Understanding these unique cohort pathways requires a fundamental understanding of existing credential and degree pathways in Illinois, the current early childhood education (ECE) workforce, present challenges in growing an ECE workforce, and research highlighting 1 innovative components of cohort models.

Living on campus, and at the University Center, is an important aspect of a college education. Residence halls are more than just rooms or places to study and sleep. They are places where students develop meaningful friendships, explore new ideas and get involved with the university community. Living on campus provides the opportunity to learn how to balance the academic and social aspects of life at DePaul University. RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLYING WITH POLICIES Living successfully on campus also requires balancing individual freedoms with respect for the rights of others. Negotiation and compromise are essential, and we encourage students to learn from one another. Living on campus is a privilege, and this privilege requires that all residential students and their guests behave appropriately. Residents are WELCOME expected to read and understand the housing and university policies and procedures in this guide. By choosing to live in a DePaul University residence hall, you agree to abide by all DePaul University policies, including the Code of Student Responsibility and the policies and procedures detailed in this Guide to Student Housing.

  • College During the Pandemic: Press Release
    EMBARGOED UNTIL: CONTACT: April 27, 2021 Lisa Sall [email protected] 630-408-1633 Despite challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, CPS grads maintained four-year college enrollment and slightly increased four-year college retention rates New strategies to adapt to students’ needs led to double-digit enrollment increases at some Illinois colleges Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and shift to virtual learning, the class of 2020 faced unprecedented challenges to enroll in and return to college in the fall of 2020. Nationally, four-year college enrollment for first-time freshmen declined around 4 percent in fall 2020. Comparatively, four-year college enrollment declined just 2 percent among the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) class of 2020, according to a new study, College During the Pandemic: Immediate Enrollment and Retention of CPS Graduates in Fall 2020, by the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. Declines in two- year college enrollment were significantly greater, both nationally and among CPS graduates. Two-year college enrollment declined by 18 percent for CPS graduates, compared to a 13 percent drop in two-year college enrollment nationwide. In light of the national rates, there were assumptions that enrollment rates for CPS graduates would similarly decline, that two-year colleges would be more popular because they usually cost less, and that private colleges would be less affected because they have more resources to quickly adapt to virtual learning. “The data is showing that many of these assumptions were inaccurate,” said Jenny Nagaoka, Deputy Director, UChicago Consortium. “We’re actually seeing some very interesting outcomes in enrollment and retention at four-year colleges among CPS graduates.
