Book Synopsis Freshman student orientation by : Lori M. Cook
Download or read book Freshman student orientation written by Lori M. Cook and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At all colleges and universities, getting students to retain and persist from year to year and get students to graduation is an issue, but this is predominantly true at community colleges. One reason for this is community colleges are often filled with less academically prepared students as they have a high number of first generation college students that attend their institutions. This is true at Grand Rapids Community College where retention rates of new students from their first semester to their second semester is low and we have a large number of first generation college students that attend the institution. This project focuses on a mandatory orientation program that prepares new students with the tools they need to be successful in their first year of college. Research was done at other institutions to determine what programs have been successful and had a positive impact on new students continuing to their second year of education and ultimately completing their degree. This program will describe a mandatory orientation developed for Grand Rapids Community College where program content concentrated on material beneficial for all new students but particularly first generation students.

Book Synopsis Overcoming Barriers to Student Success by : Christine Upton

Book excerpt: Public administrators have become increasingly interested in how student development at the collegiate level impacts potential job candidates in a wide variety of different ways. First, the public arena, specifically within the nonprofit sector, is always in need of dedicated, passionate, highly knowledgeable, and skilled employees. If attrition rates amongst colleges and universities in the United States continue to drop off, it could potentially lead to a decrease of competent employees working in the public or nonprofit sector. Student development and success at the collegiate level can be viewed as a starting point in a potential employee's journey towards impacting positive change within their communities. To help mitigate the negative impacts of student attrition, continued research into the realm of student development must include aims to help university administrators to develop action steps that will set students up for success in their collegiate career. Incoming new student orientation programs offer first-time college students with the opportunity to learn more about their new life once school starts. These programs could be linked to a more manageable transitional period for new students, which could lead to a higher likelihood of success in later years. Intensive orientation programs also offer students the chance to see the significant value of getting involved on campus and provides them with the necessary resources to become active members of their campus community. Though there is a current dynamic cannon of literature and research which delves deeper into student development, student success, and attrition rates, there still needs to be a developed method for tracking the level of student involvement in a given student population. This research project will examine the foundational research that has been accomplished in the field of student development thus far, as well as take an in-depth look at where researchers are moving the body of research as far as student involvement is concerned. Finally, the project will conclude with a series of recommendations for future research and action steps that university administrators can consider in their pursuit of helping students succeed at any college or university.

Book Synopsis Teaching Critical Thinking by : bell hooks
Download or read book Teaching Critical Thinking written by bell hooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Teaching Critical Thinking, renowned cultural critic and progressive educator bell hooks addresses some of the most compelling issues facing teachers in and out of the classroom today. In a series of short, accessible, and enlightening essays, hooks explores the confounding and sometimes controversial topics that teachers and students have urged her to address since the publication of the previous best-selling volumes in her Teaching series, Teaching to Transgress and Teaching Community. The issues are varied and broad, from whether meaningful teaching can take place in a large classroom setting to confronting issues of self-esteem. One professor, for example, asked how black female professors can maintain positive authority in a classroom without being seen through the lens of negative racist, sexist stereotypes. One teacher asked how to handle tears in the classroom, while another wanted to know how to use humor as a tool for learning. Addressing questions of race, gender, and class in this work, hooks discusses the complex balance that allows us to teach, value, and learn from works written by racist and sexist authors. Highlighting the importance of reading, she insists on the primacy of free speech, a democratic education of literacy. Throughout these essays, she celebrates the transformative power of critical thinking. This is provocative, powerful, and joyful intellectual work. It is a must read for anyone who is at all interested in education today.
