Numerous colleges Page 2 A Community for Completion Baccalaureate Program Promotion and Marketing State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) and St. Petersburg College (SPC) are engaging in broad- based efforts to encourage career advancement by increasing awareness of baccalaureate program offerings at their institutions. While SCF baccalaureate programs are relatively new, key staff members and administrators have been hard at work to develop college- and community-wide campaigns to promote their programs. In addition to iden- tifying potential students through employers, college staff members have been targeting current students in associate degree programs that may be interested in transferring to related baccalaureate programs. For ex- ample, students enrolled in the Associate in Sci- ence in Nursing programs are made aware of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) as a viable educational opportunity through marketing emails. In addition to classroom visits, emails, and other traditional methods, SCF looks for “natural” op- portunities for marketing. When the first BSN class graduated, the marketing department seized an opportunity to promote the BSN pro- gram using a photograph of the first graduating class with the president (see left). According to Kathy Walker, Director of Public Affairs & Marketing at SCF, the key to a successful campaign is two-fold. First, the college works to show the students and the community that SCF is not abandoning 2+2 and its open- access mission. Rather, SCF seeks to expand its core mission through baccalau- reate program offerings. According to Walker, “‘community’ may no longer be in our name, but we are still the college of our community.” Second, SCF inte- grates its baccalaureate program promotion into every aspect of the college. While the marketing department is responsible for developing materials, graph- ics, and advertising, the college’s advisors, faculty and staff, and administrators all play a role in marketing the programs. This mentality also exists at SPC, where baccalaureates have been around for nearly a decade. In fact, SPC’s Enrollment Management office has dedicated a team of three baccalaureate recruiters and other staff to educate prospective students in The Florida College System about baccalaureate degree offerings. One event in particular, the Baccalaureate Expo, serves as a “call to action” for anyone seeking to pursue their educational goals past the associate degree. Held twice a year, the expo promotes baccalaureate degree programs and pro- vides services to help prospective students understand the process of applying (see right). Volume 2, Issue 1 Page 3 Baccalaureate Program Promotion and Marketing Continued from page 2 SPC has initiated a broad campaign. In addition to the Expo, other strategies include: Information sessions; On campus events; Classroom visits; Dedicated baccalaureate website; Articulation agreements; Company visits, transfer fairs, and education fairs; and Other print, direct mail, online, and outdoor initiatives. What advice does SPC have about baccalaureate program promotion? According to Tracy Garrett, Coordi- nator of Marketing, “everybody is a recruiter, so utilize faculty, staff, and advisors as an additional resource to help promote the programs at your college and other colleges in the System.” For more information, please contact: Michael Mears SCF Bradenton Provost and Vice President of Baccalaureate Programs State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota [email protected] Djuan E.

Check out pages 4-8 for a full list of baccalaureate offerings in The Florida College System. Call for Exemplary Academic Advising Programs The American Association of Community Colleges, in cooperation with the National Council for Student Development (NCSD) and the National Council of Instructional Administrators, is working with Terry O'Banion, President Emeritus of the League for Innovation, to identify the most outstanding/exemplary academic advising programs in the nation’s community colleges to be featured in a monograph. If you believe the academic advising program at your college or one in your district is one of the most outstanding/exemplary programs in the nation please nominate the program for con- sideration by sending the name and email address of the key staff contact to Terry O'Banion at [email protected] by February 10, 2012. A panel of experts from NCSD and NCIA will make the final selection.

  • Teacher Preparation Programs in Florida Rank at Top in Nation for Their Early Reading Instruction
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Monday, January 27th, 2020; 12:01 AM EST Nicole Gerber National Council on Teacher Quality [email protected] 202-393-0020, ext. 712 TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAMS IN FLORIDA RANK AT TOP IN NATION FOR THEIR EARLY READING INSTRUCTION Latest Review of Florida’s Teacher Preparation Programs by the National Council on Teacher Quality Demonstrates Impressive Progress for the Science of Reading Washington, D.C. — New data and analysis from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) finds significant progress on adoption of scientifically-based methods for teaching reading by the nation’s teacher preparation programs, with Florida ranking 7th in terms of the average score achieved by its programs. At the national level, the number of programs to embrace reading science has crossed the halfway mark for the first time in the history of the Teacher Prep Review, with 51 percent of 1,000 evaluated traditional elementary teacher preparation programs across the country now earning an A or B grade for their coverage of the key components of the science of reading—up from 35 percent in 2013. Programs in Florida perform well above the national average, with 76 percent (22) of 29 Florida programs now earning an A or a B. Florida’s programs have made significant progress since the last evaluation in 2016. Both Florida International University and the University of Florida, in particular, receive special commendation in the 2020 Teacher Prep Review for being two of 15 exemplary teacher preparation programs, receiving an A+ designation. In total, 16 traditional undergraduate (UG) and graduate (G) programs in Florida earn an A in the 2020 Teacher Prep Review: Barry University (UG) Palm Beach Atlantic University (UG) Chipola College (UG) St.
