Characteristics of Reentry Education Programs Among Second Chance Pell Colleges and Universities

Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
This study describes Second Chance Pell (SCP) first cohort (2015-16) higher education institutional practices to foster persistence during reentry. Five case studies of SCP reentry programs are described and analyzed. Services varied according to institutional size and resources, with smaller schools collaborating with other agencies for wrap- around services. Participant schools used a relational model; larger programs offering peer mentoring and staff with lived experience. Wrap-around services were a larger factor than inferred by traditional persistence theories. Reentry programs can improve their effectiveness with better data, diversifying, and increasing funding, and hiring more lived experience staff. I recommend future random controlled trials to examine the role of wrap-around services and to develop a validated institutional reentry support services instrument.
