      What Do You Do When You Are Concerned About a Student?

      Deep Dive

      Presented by Amanda Bryant

      Offsite =  https://zoom.us/j/274792594  

       

      Please join Amanda Bryant, Coordinator for Student Advocacy, to discuss what to do when you are concerned about a student. Types of concerns that will be addressed will include, but are not limited to:

      • personal issues affecting school (illness, homelessness, family concerns)
      • financial concerns (can’t afford textbooks, financial aid issues, military benefits)
      • academic struggles (academic integrity, disability services)

       
      Learn how to respond to these issues and what resources are already in place, including forms Park has for some of the processes. In addition, understand why it’s important for faculty to be “involved” in what’s going on in a student’s personal life.

      Shift Happens: Integrating Growth Mindset into Courses and Students

      Join me in exploring how growth mindset can inform all that we do
      with students in the classroom. It starts with ourselves
      understanding how our brains work and how we view learning, our
      goals, and mistakes. Learn new language of encouragement for
      growth and the Power of Yet.

      Make it Stick

      Special Interest Group

      Presented by Linda Bell

      Offsite = https://parkuniversity.zoom.us/j/890598163  

       

      Explore evidence-based learning strategies that enable students to learn better and remember longer. Transformative power of story will be utilized to help us understand why these principles should replace less effective but widely accepted practices.

      10 names will be drawn to receive a free copy of the book Make It Stick for second time attendees at Linda’s second SIG held Wednesday noon October 3. The intent is for those 10 participants to have a willingness to attend all 5 of Linda’s sessions, if possible. (All of Linda's sessions are held Wednesdays at noon.) By the way, Make It Stick received a 4.5 star rating on Amazon from over 400 reviews.

      Join us as we explore together to find answers to the following questions: What is trauma? What is resilience? How does trauma and resilience impact learning? Who is resilient and what makes them so? How can resilience be fostered in the wake of trauma? What can we learn from highly resilient individuals that will help inform our work with students?

      Using Student Course Expectations​

      Innovation Exchange

      Presented by Greg Plum

      October 22nd (Monday) from 10:00-10:30am, CST

      Onsite = Norrington Learning Lab

      Offsite = https://zoom.us/j/890254447   

       

      This presentation will demonstrate the use of course expectations to stimulate learning. Having students think about the course at the beginning of the course and express what they expect to learn, then reviewing those expectations at mid-term and again at final, will help keep them interested and keep you, the instructor, focused. Actual course expectations and mid-term feedback will be used.
