Our Goal
Each individual student comes with their own unique strengths, challenges, and life experiences. Students may be struggling for a variety of reasons but students want to be successful and feel proud of themselves. Our goal is to help them grow as learners and support them in achieving their goals.
Step 1
The first step is identifying the student’s area of struggle. Do they do really well with turning in homework but constantly fail assessments? Do they not deeply engage with the course readings? Do they struggle with notetaking? Do they have a possible screen addiction? Do they lose track of papers? Is long term planning for papers or projects a difficulty? Or is it a combination of many factors?
Step 2
The next step is to offer guidance, strategies and resources to tackle the particular area(s) of challenge.
This academic coaching guide contains resources to examine the various areas of academic functioning that may be a struggle for students. The strategies and resources can help guide an academic coach while working with students, but can also be shared for independent student discovery.
