For Faculty
For intervening early, consider crucial points in your class.
As soon as a student falls behind in turning in assignments, misses or does poorly on quizzes and tests, expresses (or appears to be) confused and frustrated, or misses classes, consider doing one of these things:
- Call the student. Perhaps the first day of class you collect phone numbers. If you are unfamiliar with Colleague, the building secretaries or Foundation Studies can look up phone numbers for you, or print out a roster with the phone numbers for you. Frequently a phone call from the instructor is the best thing to reinforce the importance of attending.
- Contact Foundation Studies. Use the Student Referral Form, e-mail BurlingMarian@jccmi.edu or rogersbethanym@jccmi.edu, or call us at 796-8415. Student Referral Forms are also available from your building secretaries and at CSS - Walker 125.
Other things you can do:
- Walk the student to CSS in Walker 125.
- Walk groups of students, or your whole class, to CSS. We'll arrange a tour or study sessions for groups. Perhaps you'd like to have small groups work on some PLATO units, such as metrics or a reading unit.
- Hold office hours in the CSS area. Feel free to work with your students in the CSS area. We have small group areas as well as the more spacious BW 118. Call 8415 to hold your space.
- Invite us to your classroom. We'll be happy to do short, semi-short and slightly longer classroom invitations to use the resources or to demonstrate a specific strategy useful for your content area.
As we work with students you refer to us, we'll keep you informed of their participation and progress.
