High 5

Achievement

High 5 is Bellevue College’s movement toward closing the student success gaps! Develop your teaching toolkit and share ideas with colleagues about how to implement 5 high-impact strategies proven to increase student retention rates because you and your students are connecting in meaningful ways. These practices are based on research literature from Achieving the Dream school, Odessa College’s student success initiatives, Central Michigan University’s “Putting Students on Track with Early, Frequent, Low-stakes Assessment” and UNLV’s Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) initiative. We will dive into the following five strategies in this workshop:

1. Interacting with students by name during the first week of a new term
2. Monitoring student behavior and progress and intervening when an issue arises
3. Creating transparent assignments and assessments
4. Meeting with students one-on-one and communicating routinely about their course performance
5. Creating structure; practicing flexibility
