Community College Success for You and Your Students
Looking for a way to motivate your students, relate to them, and help them succeed in college and life?
Read Isa Adney’s latest article in the Huffington Post “How Professors Help Community College Students Transfer.” She mentions that all it takes is one encouraging professor to impact a student enough to keep them moving forward in their academic pursuits.
Just one.
Sure, it takes a little extra time as an instructor to take a personal interest in your students, but isn’t it worth it?
If you like the article, I also recommend taking a look at Adney’s website communitycollegesuccess.com and her book Community College Success (I’ve not only recommended to students, but I’ve read it twice).
When I go through phases where I start forgetting what it’s like to be in my students’ shoes, I pick up this book and read a few pages to remember what they’re going through and what they might need.
It’s a gentle reminder that students, especially community college students, could use a little guidance and a friendly face once in a while.
