    A student’s class is undeniably the central component in his or her social landscape. Students first learn how to connect and effectively communicate with human beings in the classroom when they are grouped together with other children their age. Almost every person’s best friends, social bonds, and romantic interests have been defined by socialization within the school he or she attended. Even homeschooled children regularly meet for outings and “play dates” in order to stimulate social development. The ability to interact, interview, and communicate with other people is important in countless aspects throughout life, especially employment, reproduction, and the sake of personal happiness.…

    During these moments of challenge and doubt whether frequent or seldom, undergraduates should know that there is a trusted academic support resource they could turn to at any time for motivation and answers. The proposed system of academic mentorship should be a group that is led by a member of faculty for every course, is mandatory for all enrolled students and convenes regularly for the purpose of course content clarity, career focus and formulating plans to help struggling students. In universities and colleges, one of the most formative mentorship relationships is between a faculty member and student; and the mentorship relationship is commonly regarded as a central aspect of students’ research experiences (Brown, Daly, & Leong, 2009). Mentorship should not only be limited to research papers, but should be an intrinsic offering of the college to students for the duration of their program. Though this will be undertaken in a group setting since the traditional one-to-one mentor-mentee relationship is impractical, none of its positive effects will…

    The question that I hope to answer with this research is: Does peer mentoring improve college freshmen retention rates at universities? A primary goal of peer mentoring is to ensure that college freshmen become more confident in their abilities; both academically and socially.

Universities stand to benefit as well; retaining first-year students can lead to higher graduation rates which can in turn lead to better college…

    My approach for students to gain these opportunities is reflected in the model I have established following support tools for student services by challenging students growth and development by challenging their educational and leadership opportunities. Also by guiding students to commit to their own educational experience, develop their own set of morals and beliefs and establish goals for their future career. Lastly, it is important provide students with community to establish their identity as emerging adults, provide a safe living and learning environment, and a supportive community for growth, development, and self-exploration. I believe that my personal philosophy will continue to adjust and develop as I continuously work with students but it is important to be willing to adjust my approach to Student Affairs as both the field and the students are continuously changing and evolving.…

    Identity is directly related to self-identification which also affects how an individual’s moral basis and ethics; how a student defines his/her own identity will greatly determine how they choose to act in school. This is much influenced by the culture that the individuals are brought up and the experience that they have experienced. Continuing from the topic of tracking, many students in KCCHS has previously been placed in lower tracking programs, which did not provide necessary foundation in knowledge and skill for them to handle regular high school materials. Students often feel very frustrated as they face standardized test where they are clearly at a disadvantage, and it negatively impacts the way they look at education. Since students find little success in school, it is very rare that they would develop a close relationship with the process of learning.…

    Schools One way that nearly every public elementary school encourages learning is through creative and collaborative group work. I believe this imaginative and collective way of teaching encourages learning because students get to take concepts and learn them by using hands on methods and they get to creatively and critically think about the project at hand. By using group work, teachers are also encouraging students to learn from one another and learn not just academically but socially. One way that schools might be discouraging learning is through required readings.…
