Academic Coaching for Excellence (ACE)

Rating
0.0 stars

Academic coaching is an interactive process that focuses on the personal relationship created between student and coach. An academic coach helps students navigate obstacles they may encounter during their academic career by using individualized and holistic approaches. They guide students in understanding and adapting their learning behavior by challenging students to think about personal and/or professional goals as related to academic/educational goals. Academic coaches help empower students to take responsibility for your own learning.

• Help students thrive by adopting a holistic and transformational approach.
• To help students become self-reflective and determine a path toward success.
• Equip and empower students to be able to identify context-specific methods, processes, and integrated strategic approaches to learning, problem-solving, motivation, and time management.
• To provide Academic Coaches with campus wide support as they identify trending barriers students face.
• To encourage intentional departmental and hopefully systemic change with awareness of barriers faced by subpopulations of our students.

Calculus Success is a multi-pronged initiative to support students who are underprepared or otherwise identified as at risk for not passing their required calculus courses. There are four programs in this initiative:
1. Dedicated sections of first-semester calculus for students who do not demonstrate calculus-readiness, supported by undergraduate TAs, with a focus on collaborative learning using the Treisman Model
2. A paired-course model in which students take their first semester calculus course paired with a Signature Course (first-year seminar) course on critical thinking
3. Fall Reset - a program that identifies students who are not performing well in their first-year calculus course and offers them the opportunity to switch to a specially developed pre-calculus section for the remainder of the semester
4. Calculus corequisites - modeled after developmental education corequisites, students who do not demonstrate calculus-readiness are required, and students with other risk factors are invited, to enroll in a 1-hour credit support course for the first half of the semester. The focus of the course is peer-to-peer learning, community building, study skills, and content work.

The University of Texas at Tyler’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CTEL) is dedicated to supporting the best practices in teaching and learning throughout the university.
The CTEL strives to enhance lifelong learning and provide high quality professional development to facilitate the development of new skills and discipline knowledge for faculty and, in turn, enhance the academic success of UT Tyler’s students. One way the CTEL works to achieve these goals is by providing faculty with professional learning communities. Professional Learning Communities (PLC) allow faculty and professional staff to come together to grapple with issues and concerns in targeted areas focused on student success. Faculty not only participate in these communities but design them as well. The CTEL is currently hosting six PLCs: 1) Academic Innovation, 2) Global Awareness & Diversity, 3) Service Learning, 4) Student Research, 5) Work-Life Balance, and 6) The Study of Student Writing.

The goal of the Falcon Maps Advising Summits program is to produce the best academic paths for students by bringing together faculty and staff to make sure students progress to degree in the best way possible, reaching graduation with less debt and in the fastest possible time. Faculty and staff are gathered twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring, by the University of Texas Permian Basin’s Student Success and Quality Enhancement Plan teams. At least one faculty advising mentor from each academic department is required to attend the sessions. The sessions switch between an interactive workshop facilitated during the fall and a conference style convening held in the spring. In both cases, faculty and staff learn more about the most up to date best practices for advising and mentoring students as well as the institution’s degree pathways.

Rating
0.0 stars

Financial and Social Support Services (FSSS) is a component of UTEP’s holistic advising model designed to foster financial literacy and wellness by increasing fiscal awareness, and empowering students to make more sound financial decisions.

Master of Social Work (MSW) graduate interns provide students with personalized financial and social support. MSW Interns employ financial social work theories and practices to help students recognize and assess their financial circumstances, with the ultimate goal of identifying methods to establish healthier money habits that lead to improved financial wellness.

FSSS offers services to all UTEP students, regardless of major or classification. The majority of students served are UTEP undergraduates with 0-60 earned credit hours. These students often face a variety of challenges upon entering a four-year institution and adapting to a system that is drastically different from high school or community college. MSW interns are exceptionally equipped to support and assist students with overcoming financial challenges to academic success. This includes, but is not limited to, guiding students on resources to pay for college, managing life expenses, building a budget, establishing credit, understanding financial risks, and strategies for making well-informed financial decisions in the context of each student’s unique circumstances.

FSSS works closely with the Foster Homeless Adopted Resources (FHAR) program, which connects foster, homeless and adopted students with resources to provide support along the path to degree completion.

The families of first-generation college students play a key role in their students’ success. All incoming first-generation students and their families are invited to attend the UT Dallas First-Generation Family Orientation. To promote the orientation, UT Dallas mails postcard invitations and first-generation-specific new student guidebooks, that include access to an online Spanish language version, to invitees. The materials provide advice on how to interpret important dates on the academic calendar, descriptions of language found in course syllabi, and helpful tips for navigating resources, and a page of First-Generation Student Support Network member contacts in key campus departments. First-Generation Family Orientation content includes presentations by a variety of campus departments, a discussion regarding UT Dallas culture and insights about what their student can expect, greater explanations of some University policies and processes, more information about University resources with insights about why they matter and how to use them, and critical steps to ensure that students efficiently transition through each semester and maximize opportunities. Content is framed to reinforce the role of families in student academic and social success and their value in cultivating student belonging, wellbeing, and resilience. The First-Generation Family Orientation is hosted primarily via YouTube to ensure maximum accessibility with the multi-language closed captioning options. During the orientation, families can ask current first-generation students, parents of former UT Dallas students, and bilingual staff questions.
