Supporting Learners At Risk

Algonquin College is working hard to support learners at risk with two college-wide initiatives: the Student Advising Program, and the Student Success Committee.

Student Advising Program
Student Success Committee

New!!! Academic Advising Website

The Academic Advising website is now available as a resource for college academic advisors.

Here you will find excellent resources such as the following:

  • A two-page worksheet to help you plan your advising program with an individual student
  • A sample letter to a new advisee, inviting him/her to meet with you
  • A Student Goals Inventory and a Study Skills Self-Assessment Inventory that you can use as you advise your students
  • A FAQ page with sample answers to the most frequently asked questions by student advisees

And much, much more.

Student Success Committee

The Student Success Committee identifies and promotes awareness of “best practices” in student retention.

New!!!  Student Retention Project Page

This new webpage from the Student Success Committee will be of interest to all faculty.  It identifies all of the current student retention projects that have been approved by the Student Success Committee. You might find ideas here for generating your own student retention project for the fall of 2008.

Contributions from Schools/Institutes/Individuals

Does your department or school have a protocol for dealing with learners at risk? Do you have your own personal protocol for supporting students at risk in your courses? If so, would you share it here with your colleagues. It would be interesting to compare the approaches taken by different parts of our organization, and by different individual faculty. Just contact Sheryl Gillespie.
