By Fall 2017, we will coordinate our student success programs & provide a one- stop shop about student success programs to students, advisors, and faculty.   Our Project Succeed components are based on effective research practices developed at SJSUand other institutions. Our overarching theoretical model for student retention is based onVincent Tinto’s model [4]. Tinto’s model posits student retention as a complex, multifacetedenvironment where students’ background characteristics and educational goals all contribute tostudent engagement. According to this model, effective and positive interactions in collegeshould increase the student’s commitment, persistence and effort in college, and thereby,increase student retention.SJSU’s

throughout the course, instructors involve the students in verynon-traditional education opportunities (Hanus and Estes, 2002). This is accomplished throughprops, video clips, music, and demonstrations related to the lesson objectives. This “intellectualexcitement” keeps students engaged for the entire class allowing interaction, discussion, andcontinuous feedback leading to better understanding and the opportunity to explore the subjectmatter in greater depth (Lowman, 1995). Bringing drama into the classroom requires asignificant amount of preparation to enable smooth and practical application and must be fine-tuned and highly coordinated to be an enabling tool (Hanus and Estes, 2002).

This effort was supported and funded bythe US Department of Education (Kerka, 1995). The results were as expected: Authenticassessment methods that incorporate a wide variety of techniques designed to correspond asclosely as possible to 'real world' student experiences are most effective and representative(Custer 1994; Rudner and Boston 1994).
