Come develop your teaching toolkit and share ideas with colleagues about how to implement proven strategies to increase student persistence rates. These strategies are based on research literature from Achieving the Dream school, Odessa College’s student success initiatives, and Central Michigan University’s “Putting Students on Track with Early, Frequent, Low-stakes Assessment.”
We will cover the following strategies in this workshop:
• Interacting with students by name during the first week of a new term
• Monitoring student behavior and progress and intervening when an issue arises
• Providing low-stakes assessments
• Meeting with students one-on-one and communicating routinely about their course
performance
• Becoming a “master of paradox” (i.e., maintaining a structured course while allowing for some flexibility)
