Beyond Laziness: Uncovering Hidden Barriers to College Success
October 10 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Beyond Laziness: Uncovering Hidden Barriers to College Success
As faculty, we have all struggled to understand why students miss assignments, don’t come to class, procrastinate when taking exams, etc. A frequent default explanation may be that students are lazy or apathetic. Instead, what if we responded to these ineffective behaviors with curiosity and developed a different perspective? What if we tried to identify potential barriers that might be precipitating these actions and devise targeted interventions to mitigate their effects? Come hear strategies to find, understand, and alleviate potential hidden barriers to student success in higher education.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Develop a curiosity mindset around student behaviors
- Identify strategies to find hidden barriers to success
- Devise interventions to alleviate potential hidden barriers to student success
