成功的障碍
There is an increasing number of students who do not purchase textbooks or other course materials because of financial strain, despite knowing that there may be (and often is) a detrimental effect in their grades. (VitalSource, 2017; Senack, 2014)
• Faculty: Find out EARLY if students have the materials needed for your class AND check back in to make sure they’ve resolved this situation.
• Check out the 学生的成功 and 保留 site for more information about the financial help students can get with books and more!
建立关系
Building relationships that enable students to access support and feel as though they matter can be critical to persistence. (Schlossberg, 1989; Tinto, 1993; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005; Kuh et al., 2005; Johnson, 2007).
•与学生交谈. building relationships are key, so whether a student is struggling, 想要离开, 需要的资源, or just seems a bit “off” since you last talked to them, 接触! 接触, 提供帮助, invite them to your office hours, or refer them to campus resources - Even a small interaction can make all the difference!
• Faculty: Check in with your advisees, especially when you see a Starfish flag is raised for them. Make sure they are accessing the resources that can help them reach success!
早期识别
Early identification of students who are struggling, and the interventions that should follow, have important positive impacts on student success. (Kuh et al, 2005; Cuseo)
• All of us have relationships with students - when you see them struggling, tell someone! Bring them to the Center for 学生的成功 or Student Affairs to get them connected to resources.
• Faculty: Ensure students know how they are doing in your course, especially early in the semester, by:
• Submit the student confirmation report in the first two weeks of the semester
• Log into Starfish to raise flags or give students kudos
• Complete the four-week progress surveys
•提交期中成绩
