March 21, 2018

IYI Webinar Series: College and Career Connections

Tracy Butler ‐ Director of College and Career Connections, Indiana Youth Institute

Christina Tangalakis ‐ Director of Financial Aid, Hispanic Scholarship Fund

Yecenia Tostada, MPA ‐ Senior Program Director, Indiana Latino Institute

Why does this topic matter?For our state to reach its full potential, it is critical that educational success reach all children. Vulnerable groups lag behind their peers in terms of school readiness, reading, grade and educational attainment.

Groups most likely to be affected by equity gaps include • Racial and ethnic minorities• Low‐income students• English language learners• Students with disabilities

What Factors Contribute to Equity Gaps?• Poverty• Parental Factors• Community Segregation• Teacher performance

What Achievement Gaps Exist?1. ISTEP+ Students of color, students with disabilities, English learners, and students receiving free or reduced‐price lunch are less likely to pass ISTEP+, than their peers.2. High School GraduationStudents of color are less likely than their peers to graduate from high school on time.

3. College ReadinessStudents who are not sufficiently prepared to complete entry‐level courses at the start of their college careers are often required to take remedial courses.

Black students (29%), Hispanic students (17%), and students who received free or reduced‐price lunch (21%) are more likely than their peers who need remediation in college.

4. College CompletionNot all students who start college in Indiana complete a degree.

First‐generation college‐goers are less likely to graduate from postsecondary institutions than their peers. Black students (25.5%) are less than half as likely to graduate on time compared to their white peers (53.3%).
