Download or read book Student Success, Everyone's Business written by Jack J. Bainter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High schools, community colleges, business schools, trade schools, colleges, and universities are committed in their mission statements to helping students succeed. Unfortunately, not all employees are fully committed nor are all administrators knowledgeable about how to effectively address the topic. Since all employees have direct or indirect opportunities to favorably or unfavorably impact students' success potential, literally all employees and volunteers must be made aware of their obligations. This book is most applicable to postsecondary institutions, but offers many ideas valuable to secondary schools, particularly those with high drop-out rates. Student Success, Everyone's Business describes postsecondary school dropout indicators and hence provides strategies schools can implement or strengthen to help students stay in school and succeed. Advice in the book involves every school employee. Twelve imperatives with which every school must provide students assistance are explained. Each is followed by an expediency through which the school can implement/accomplish the imperatives. The twelve imperatives are to help students: 1. Believe they can succeed 2. Understand how to make decisions 3. Know how to solve problems 4. Wisely utilize their time 5. Gain support from their home environment 6. Manage stress 7. Learn to set meaningful goals 8. Learn or recall how to effectively study 9. Master daily survival 10. Understand the importance of personal commitment 11. Form mutual support groups 12. Keep in mind the value of the education they are pursuing Next is a chapter providing 101 helpful hints to augment the twelve imperatives. Again, each is followed by an implementation expediency. These helpful hints are presented in eight sub-chapter units. They are: Early Bonding Student Services Classroom Matters Learning Enhancements Motivational Opportunities/Recognition Facilities Faculty/Staff Selection and Development Staff in Total If student retention from matriculation to graduation is less than 90%, it is a social shame, a drain on school resources, a likely negative impact on colleges' student loan default rates, and a disservice to students. If the student retention rate is 60-70%, as is the case for many schools, a formal strategy to enhance student retention is needed, if not required. Student Success, Everyone's Business is a painless, practical blueprint of how literally every employee at the school can actively support student success, which translates to student retention and graduation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the statistics, any organization can be sustained. How? By imagining the smallest step with the biggest payoff, and then choosing that one step. This primer helps you imagine ways to free everybody in your organization to do just that, by making it everybody’s business to know and grow the enterprise. Industrial and organizational psychologist Dr. Marta Wilson and her team of experts show how leaders in small businesses, large corporations, government agencies, and military organizations have found their best options by asking this recurring question: What is the smallest step with the biggest return? Wilson believes in the power of asking questions and listening—to customers, employees, suppliers, investors, influencers—as the best way to improve products or services. As the head of your organization, you must initiate dialogue to uncover ideas from each stakeholder’s unique vantage point. The short “Ask Yourself” section in each chapter will jump-start your application of the dialogue tools she provides. Through stories and interviews, Everybody’s Business delivers a big idea to help you usher in maximum workplace productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, and responsiveness—all of which will result in long-term growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the exigency of student success and how higher education institutions are addressing this call. On the heels of the COVID-19 global pandemic, institutions have been challenged further to manage student satisfaction issues, enrollment and financial insecurities, equity, inclusion and access. As starting point to these ongoing priorities, this book aims to raise awareness, questions and suggestions based on examples of courageous leadership that support retention and completion agendas but more so visionary and actionable approaches to ensure student success. The book addresses the various tensions among education stakeholders, the impressions of change, the expanded realities of competition, the casualties of silos, the value of examining and understanding data in advancing options, and the merits of collaboration, and opportunity thinking. Cases and interviews with thought leaders who candidly share experiences and realizations about ensuring student success provide insight about what else can be done to move the needle forward.

Download or read book Fostering Student Success in the Campus Community written by Gary L. Kramer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and examines key issues not only on addressing changing student demographics and needs but also on aligning institutional and student expectations, connecting student-oriented services systemically, organizing and fostering student services for learning, and creating and delivering services for students to achieve success on campus. While the essential supportive role student services plays in student retention and success is generally understood, this book provides several constructive approaches and key indicators that service providers can use to challenge their campuses for better results in achieving student success. While this book does not define what student success is for all institutions or suggest that one size fits all institutions, it does emphasize that student learning and achieving student success on campus is everyone’s business. The chapter contributors share their wisdom on and experience in creating a student-centered culture and emphasize student services as the primary approach for putting students first in the campus community. Written for student service providers, academic departments, and others responsible for the support, direction, and coordination of services to students—vice presidents, deans, directors, and department chairs—readers will learn how to encourage a variety of desired outcomes, including student persistence, satisfaction, learning, and personal development. Also included is a systems perspective that will help readers evaluate and align services for students with the goals of both the students and the institution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education in the United States is facing a critical juncture. Tuition costs are rising, while measures of success are declining. Students struggle to meet the most basic academic requirements, barely passing their courses, while others battle physical and mental health difficulties that profoundly impact their ability to do well in college. This book responds to these challenges, offering a holistic collection of practices to guide those working with emerging adults in higher education. Beginning with an introduction to the developmental period of emerging adulthood, the volume examines how the social and emotional development of emerging adults is relevant to struggles and successes in higher education. Subsequent chapters focus on how technology has impacted on learning and communication for today's students and how faculty and staff can best work with students through meaningful relationships. Consisting of chapters from experts in a variety of disciplines, the volume provides faculty, administrators, and staff with the knowledge and skills needed to help today's students succeed.

Download or read book Strong Starts, Supported Transitions and Student Success written by Andrew Funston and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shift to mass participation in higher education is a welcome international trend. In Australia the number of young adults attempting a degree course at university has increased by close to twenty five percent in less than a decade. Campuses are becoming more culturally and linguistically diverse. More university students are coming from poorer families and disadvantaged educational backgrounds. The authors of Strong Starts, Supported Transitions and Student Success celebrate the diversity of new university learning communities while recognising the challenges faced by many commencing students. This book presents research findings, strategic thinking and innovative approaches to student transitions and retention at one of Australia’s newer institutions, designated “The University of Opportunity”. Drawing extensively on international scholarship and the work of retention and transition experts in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the book provides several theoretically-informed case studies, as well as more general discussions and practical advice to academics and professional staff involved in “the first year in higher education”, and especially those practitioners working to enhance “the student experience”.

Download or read book How College Students Succeed written by Nicholas A. Bowman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Receiving a college education has perhaps never been more important than it is today. While its personal, societal, and overall economic benefits are well documented, too many college students fail to complete their postsecondary education. As colleges and universities are investing substantial resources into efforts to counter these attrition rates and increase retention, they are mostly unaware of the robust literature on student success that is often bounded in disciplinary silos. The purpose of this book is to bring together in a single volume the extensive knowledge on college student success. It includes seven chapters from authors who each synthesize the literature from their own field of study, or perspective. Each describes the theories, models, and concepts they use; summarizes the key findings from their research; and provides implications for practice, policy, and/or research. The disciplinary chapters offer perspectives from higher education, public policy, behavioral economics, social psychology, STEM, sociology, and critical and post-structural theory.

Book excerpt: How can we as parents, educators, and members of the business community prepare students to be successful leaders in today's global environment? It's a critically important question. Gloria Cordes Larson, president of Bentley University, explains why today's practices in higher education are inadequate preparation for our rapidly evolving innovation economy. Instead, she passionately advocates for a hybrid-learning model that integrates business education with traditional liberal arts courses. Today's businesses demand a new kind of hybrid graduate, possessed of both hard and soft skills, with the courage to take risks, the creativity to innovate, and the savvy to excel in a turbulent competitive climate. This book is a valuable resource for participants in every learning community: our homes, schools, and businesses. It will change the way you think about what excellence in education means in today's business environment as you develop strategies that will move our children, students, and future employees forward in a rapidly changing and very challenging world. Prepared with that training and knowledge, they will find greater fulfillment and make their own mark on the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores successful transition strategies to, within and from university for students from around the globe, with Macquarie University, a large Australian university, studied in depth. It addresses the meaning of success taking a variety of perspectives, including student, staff and employer views. The chapters present a series of initiatives that have proven to be successful in assisting students in developing their academic potential throughout university and beyond. The authors of the chapters use a variety of methodologies and approaches reflecting the diverse local contexts and requirements. These international perspectives demonstrate a triumph of practice that has led to the empowerment of individuals and groups. The approaches from twelve universities located in eight different countries stem directly from the coalface and provide many valuable lessons and tools that colleagues in the sector will be able to consider and adapt in their own contexts. Small interventions matter, from a mentor of a nervous student who goes on to achieve greatness, to the use of a curriculum design model that hooks a whole group of students into learning and achievement. This book covers both the small, individual victories and the larger scale strategies that support success. Contributions emanate from Australia, Bangladesh, India, China, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada, USA, Uruguay and South Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complete the Agenda in Higher Education: Challenge Beliefs about Student Success is a bold call to action to do more than just improve college completion rates. This book is for community college board members, administrators, faculty and staff who also want to: (1) foster beliefs that will enable students to finish what they start; (2) empower students to overcome daily challenges and real adversity; and (3) transform human potential into achievement, for a lifetime. Courageous educators, foundations, associations and researchers made community colleges better than we were a decade ago. Completion rates have improved somewhat as a result, but too many students still do not finish because the Completion Agenda is incomplete. This book describes compelling reasons why a shift from a “completion-only-mindset” to the Beliefs Agenda (completion with GRIT) is critical for the future of America. It provides practical implementation methods, offers engaging teaching tactics, and proposes sensible strategies.
