2 What s changing in higher education? We are in a Higher Education Revolution Public institutions under pressure to improve performance Recession drove more students to school More students interested in online learning options
3 Why Academic Coaching? Engage Explore Express Experience Evaluate
4 What does research reveal about Academic Coaching? A Stanford study found that coaching improved retention by 10 15%.1 Another found positive effects on student success using academic and personal coaching models with students who have certain disabilities and executive function disorders, such as ADHD. 1 The Effects of Student Coaching in College: An Evaluation of a Randomized Experiment in Student Mentoring. Bettinger & Baker, Quantifying the Effectiveness of Coaching for College Students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Field, Parker, Sawilowsky & Rolands, 2010.
5 How can Academic Coaching help schools with redesign? Technology creates a different teacher-student relationship Coaching allows that relationship to be intrinsic and student-propelled Redesign requires that faculty change perspective Human contact is critical for success in hybrid and flipped learning models Coaching is the language that allows new learning modes to succeed.
6 Reading and writing in K12 4 th graders write for less than 3 hours a week, 15% of time spent watching TV. 75% of high school seniors never get a writing assignment from their history or social studies teacher. 1 in 4 high school seniors meets the four benchmarks designed to show college readiness. Only 43% of SAT testers in 2012 were ready for college-level work. In 2009, the US ranked 17 th out of 34 OECD countries in reading performance
7 Reading and writing in college Each year, 1.7 million first-year students entering both two-year and four-year colleges will take a remedial course. Less than one-quarter of 2-year college students and slightly more than one-third of 4-year college students who take a remedial course will complete a college-level English or math class. Community colleges set the bar too low for incoming freshmen. Top students are also losing ground in college
8 Amount of data created and shared every minute
9 What are the economics of literacy? Of adults who earn less than $10,000/year: 26% lack basic prose-reading skills 14% have basic prose-reading skills 5% have intermediate reading skills 2% have proficient reading skills Conversely, 1/3 of highest-scoring reading in US earn more than $100,000/year 64% of proficient readers have full-time employment vs. only 35% who are below basic readers. Literacy in Everyday Life. National Center for Educational Statisitics
10 Where do students struggle? Self awareness Planning Persistence Delaying Gratification Quality Focus
11 Why do students struggle? At-risk and/or developmental students: Often lack cultural framework Have few role models Are first-generation Balance more life issues Given low standards Have been coddled Want easy answers Haven t been adequately challenged
12 Paul Tough s Seven Character Traits of Successful Students 1. Grit 2. Curiosity 3. Self-control 4. Social intelligence 5. Zest 6. Optimism 7. Gratitude
13 What is Academic Coaching?
14 Our Definition Academic coaching is an ongoing partnership to help students produce fulfilling results in their lives. Through the process of coaching, students deepen their learning, take responsibility for their actions, improve their effectiveness and consciously create their outcomes in life. LifeBound Academic Training and Certification
15 What are the benefits of Academic Coaching? Promotes self-awareness Builds professional skills Connects academic learning to success in college, career, and life Foundation for college success translates into effective workplace habits
16 How does Academic Coaching help students? Builds non-cognitive skills Promotes self-reliance Fosters self-advocacy Promotes personal management skills Provides framework for pros and cons Establishes habits for professional success
17 How can Academic Coaching influence success in reading, writing & critical thinking? Coaching helps students develop the ability to: Make connections Generate ideas Innovate Imagine Risk Follow through Make meaning Make a difference
18 How can Academic Coaching help schools facilitate reading & writing among at-risk students?
19 Coaching improves facilitation through: Asking class-based questions that promote success habits Making time for student-led discussions Using multimodal instruction Assigning group work featuring pairs and triads Utilizing movement, music, and multiple intelligences Capitalizing on individual strengths & weaknesses Referencing success and failure to anchor future actions
20 Research shows students writing abilities are greatly influenced by how they think of themselves as writers.
21 How can academic coaching improve students perceptions of themselves as writers and readers? Promote help-seeking behavior Make their world larger Ask powerful questions that drive critical thinking around possibilities and options Have conversations about effective reading/writing vs. giving the answers Imagine who they could be/what they could do in the world with strong writing skills See what would be possible for their lives personally and professionally if they developed their reading, writing, thinking & analytical skills
22 How can you integrate coaching, save yourself, time and have a greater impact with students?
23 Ways to integrate coaching Ask questions Have students facilitate Have students share topic ideas Have students share writing Have students lead the learning Use pen editing with strong rubrics Share learning from peer editing Confront courageously
24 Coaching questions for success in reading and writing Writing What is the most compelling way to convey your idea? Who is your audience and why will they care about your point of view? What is your purpose and your passions behind this topic? What are the most rich, descriptive examples you can think of to illustrate your ideas? In addition to writing about them, how might you talk about them to a friend, a classmate, or your teacher? What other perspectives exist around this issue that can make you more even in exploring it? Reading How compelling was the author s message, way of writing and examples? What did you perceive between the lines? What do you have in common with this passage, book, reading? What might you connect to college, career, and life as part of a larger message? How might you see parallels in your own life experience or in that of someone you know?
25 Coaching topics that build character traits for discussion/writing What are you most proud of? What is your most notable failure and what did you learn from that? On a scale of 1-10, how much do you like challenge? Explain. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you like risk? Explain. How valuable do you think challenge and risk are to success in the world of work? Who do you admire more than anyone else and why do you admire them? Describe a time in your life when you overcame significant fears. What happened? How will your time in college impact your options over the rest of your life? What are your personal and professional goals and dreams throughout your life? What are you willing to sacrifice to make your dreams happen?
26 Beyond Coaching, what other improvements? High school/college collaboration More content emphasizing interpersonal, practical, professional skills Summer enrichment on college campuses for high school students Required prep boot camps the summer before freshman year Better cross-disciplinary integration of reading and writing Strong connection to personal, professional, and career success Required summer reading for middle/high school students More discernment for dual enrollment More rigor and challenge at all levels More college/employer collaboration and efficacy studies
