Description

Counselors and teachers partnered up to create a student success course that anybody with a masters degree can teach called "College 1". This course provides teaching faculty an opportunity to explore topics outside of their discipline that impact student success such as transitional issues students experience moving from high school to college. Counseling faculty address research skills and reading apprenticeship methodology. As a result students have an interactive, transformational experience and construct strong connections to faculty, staff and students. Additionally, students are provided an Academic Coach who facilitates connections to counseling and other support services. A major piece is also "One Book, One College" where all students read and dialogue about a specific text. Tutoring is also provided. It began with 300 students then scaled up to 600 and now 1200. Retention rates are 91% from first to second year over 10% better than non-participants.
Come and learn how to implement at your college. Learn from our failures and successes in this interactive session.
