Thesecharacteristics set students apart from one another and their educators. Therefore, when ateacher’s instructions reflect characteristics of only one group of students, the other students aredenied an equal opportunity to learn [16]. Using CRP takes into consideration a student’straditions, linguistics, value and ethical systems. CRP provides teachers with empirical andtheoretical constructs that support their efforts to lower existing barriers and opportunity gaps [17]- [19] for the increasingly diverse public-school student population in all educational platforms.CRP’s objective is to support students in obtaining

the program has been highly effective at increasingpositive attitudes towards STEM careers and towards pursuing research at the upper-division andgraduate level.IntroductionAs part of a U.S. Department of Education Minority Science and Engineering ImprovementProgram (MSEIP) grant, California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) began a summerresearch experience for lower-division STEM students in 2015. CSUB is a public, regional,comprehensive university that carries designations as both a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)and a Minority Serving Institution (MSI). Its demographics reflect the demographics of theservice region, which is a majority minority area. The service region for CSUB is also a fast-growing area marked by historic lags in

Context reflects thegeneral scope of the relationship, including both its focus and the dynamic between mentor andmentor. Formation represents the way in which the relationship was initiated, and in someinstances how it was maintained. Finally, tone reflects the general attitude of the mentor thatformed the basis of the student

academic challenges. These programs have significantly reduced the time studentsspend in remedial English and mathematics courses and have increased the first-year retentionrates. Nevertheless, these first-year improvements do not often reflect on the overall retentionand graduation rates. In fact, contrary to what might be assumed, strong first-year supportprograms, which have received the bulk of the attention in the literature, can degrade sophomoreperformance for a variety of reasons1,2. These observations have led to the suggestion thatsophomore-specific programs are necessary to support rising students3. In many cases, thevanishing effect of first-year programs on later years has been attributed to the fact that studentstransition from a

CC-HSIs. KickStarter interacts at three levels within each CC-HSI - individual, team,and organizational. All three levels are key to institutionalizing successful organizationalchange. For example, KickStarter facilitates STEM planning discussions that increase facultyengagement, leadership, and collaboration, with visibility to CC-HSI executives to gainendorsement of a college-wide STEM plan. KickStarter also tailors its technical guidance to theCC-HSI experience level and provides a safe place for learning, resulting in NSF awards forSTEM education innovations. This paper will describe the experience and details for theimplementation and evaluation of the KickStarter program, including reflections, benefits anddrawbacks of the approach

Among engineeringundergraduates, only 8% are underrepresented minorities (URM), 21% are women, and about15% are first-generation college students. Even though 25% of Colorado high school graduateswere underrepresented minorities in 2008, enrollment of such students in our college remainedunchanged for a decade, at 7.6% in 1999 and 7.9% in 2009.

In fact, in studies ofreflection as pedagogy the IDP is considered a self-reflection tool.
