Student Leadership Practices Inventory

The Student Leadership Practices Inventory (SLPI) was sent to 58 students shortly after their appointment or election to leadership positions in Student Government. 48 students completed the on-line questionnaire. Data from the self-assessment exercise revealed that the following percentages of student leaders frequently engage in these leadership practices:

• Modeling the Way (37.5%)                                              

• Inspiring a Shared Vision (41.67%)                      

• Challenging the Process (54.17%                          

• Enabling Others To Act  (68.75%)                        

• Encouraging the Heart (47.92%)                       

Only 40.68% of the student participants reported demonstrating three or more of the leadership behaviors “often” to “almost always.”

In February the same group was instructed to select 5-8 observers to whom the SLPI Observer instrument would be sent. The observers’ responses were analyzed to see if the students had been observed engaging in practices identified in The Leadership Challenge.

32 of the student leaders who completed the self assessment participated in the observer assessment. Data from the observer instrument revealed that the percentage of student leaders who frequently engage in the following leadership practices were:

• Modeling the Way (62.50%)                            

• Inspiring a Shared Vision (65.36%)              

• Challenging the Process (59.38%)               

• Enabling Others to Act (68.75%)                        

• Encouraging the Heart (53.13%)

Of the student leaders participating in the observer exercise, 65.63% received higher average scores from their observers than they had assigned to themselves. According to the observers, 56.25% of the students engaged in three or more of the five leadership practices on a frequent basis.

After the completion of a series of career counseling appointments for career/major decision-making, students will be able to identify the basic concepts of the career/major decision-making process and utilize a career/major resource.

Personal & Educational Goals

As a result of participating in EOP Mandatory tutoring for students enrolled in math 1, students will demonstrate growth in EOP pre-math assessment to the final math assessment.

Pre Math Assessment administered by EOP and Post Assessment (final grade) administered by the Math Dept.

Intellectual Growth

In fall 2009, The Educational Opportunity Program mandated tutoring for all EOP students who qualified for MAPB 1(math 1).  The goal of the project was two-fold: 1) to help students comply with the Chancellor’s Executive Order 665 asking students to remediate within one year, and 2) to provide students with a study guide/assessment to help them prepare for final examinations. 

In fall 2009, 117 EOP students enrolled in MAPB 1 (Math 1); 72 EOP students passed MAPB 1 at the end of the semester (61%).  Of the 117 students enrolled in MAPB 1, 111 attended EOP mandatory tutoring regularly (defined as two or more contacts).  Sixty-five percent of students attending mandatory tutoring passed MAPB 1 in fall 2009.  Twenty-nine students took the EOP pre-math assessment examination; 21 of the 29 students passed (or 72%) the pre-assessment quiz and passed MAPB 1 in fall 2009.  

Conversly, 41 students enrolled in EOP Tutoring did not take the EOP pre-math assessment; 39  of the 41 students did not pass MAPB 1 in fall 2009.

In spring 2010, 27 students enrolled in MAPB 1(Math 1); 21 students attended EOP mandatory tutoring regularly (two or more contacts).  Of the 21 students, 18 students passed MAPB 1 at the end of the semester (85.7%).  Among students who passed, eight took the EOP pre-math assessment; seven of these eight students passed the quiz (87.5%) and passed the course.

As a result of participating in the Resident Assistant (RA) Training, the RA will be able to identify at least six different steps used in conflict resolution, the 3-steps in ATOD policy, and at least five different rules and regulations pertaining to the residence halls.

USU/ASI Programs Training Day: 

In fall of 2009, the Building Management unit of the USU Facility Operations area planned and implemented a multi-faceted approach to train Student Building Managers on emergency procedures in the USU. All USU Student Building Managers were required to participate in the training which took place over the fall semester at weekly Student Building Managers meetings and was facilitated by the Associate Director for Facility Operations. Training areas included the proper procedures for dealing with various events throughout the facility or on campus: earthquakes, emergency evacuations, tornados, fire, and active shooters on campus and/or in the building.

At the end of the training the Student Building Managers were given an emergency procedures exam. Approximately 8 student building managers participated in the semester long training and took the exam. All 8 participants passed the quiz for a 100% pass rate.  Feedback was collected from participants, which was used to modify and improve the training for future semesters.  The emergency procedures training will again be conducted in the fall and spring semesters. All new hires will be given the training as well as the exam after hire.
