I had the privilege of supervising Yan Ning (Cherrie) Kwok as a study skills peer coach for the past two years and I whole heartedly would like to recommend her for the Higher education program. Throughout my career as an Academic & Learning Strategist at UTSC, I have interacted with hundreds of students. However, I could honestly say that there are only a handful of students who stood out and Cherrie was one of them. She is an exceptional individual who possess personal characteristics and competencies required for the student development profession. Specifically, she demonstrated a strong sense of leadership, trust worthiness, and dedication to student success as a study skills peer coach.

Within her role, she assisted students in academic

    LTC Kunk Leadership Style

    One of the many Army clichés LTC Kunk tries to operate by is “teach, coach, [and] mentor” (Fredrick, 2017, p 27). Teaching, coaching, and mentoring is defined as “…[instructing] by precept, example, or experience”, “one who instructs or trains, and “a trusted counselor or guide”, respectively. With this knowledge, it becomes clear if a person were to follow these three ideals they would more than likely be an engaged and effective leader. The significance of being an engaged leader is often understated in many corporations and even more so within the United States Army. This has the potential to birth and cultivate a multitude of problems.…

    The Co-Active Coaching Model

    Beginning with the premise that clients have “strength and capability, not weakness, helplessness, or dependence [and] a deep desire to give the best and achieve potential,” (Kimsey-House, Kimsey-House, Sandahl, & Whitworth, 2011, p. 7), coaching is analogous to the Paraclete who walks alongside another, inspiring, motivating (John 14:26, ESV), bringing out the intelligence (Proverbs 2:6-7, NIV) and capacity of the client to solve their own problems (ICF, n.d.). The CCNI (2014) takes the definition one step further and incorporates a perspective based upon a biblical worldview, which offers moral direction and guidance. The co-active coaching model, which is conversation based upon respect, openness, compassion, empathy, and a rigorous commitment…

    Peer Mentoring Case Study

    Assignment 1: Does peer mentoring improve college freshmen retention rate? Samantha Dean A common question posed by administrators at institutions of higher education is how to retain college freshmen. The reasons that first-year students do not return to college as a sophomore range from family issues to lack of friends and loneliness to struggling academically and lack of money. Universities cannot control all factors relating to a student’s decision to not come back as a sophomore; however, they can experiment with ways to assist students who feel lonely or struggle with academics.…

    Reflection On Peer Mentoring

    A peer mentor is defined as a person who uses their resources to support, encourage and inform someone. Going into this semester, I was unaware that I would be mentoring another student and thus doubted my abilities. Although I was excited to become a mentor, I questioned whether I would truly be able to make a difference in someone’s life. The difference that I wanted to make could be as simple as helping someone ace a test, but the news of mentoring threw me off track. Nonetheless, I gathered myself and tried to maintain a positive attitude.…

    Introduction The coach’s role is to develop the coachee’s resourcefulness through skillful questioning, challenges, and support; not advising because when advice is given, the coach implies that he or she knows best and that the coachee does not (Rogers, 2012). Coaching requires a listening ear to ensure that the coachee is understood and is making decisions that will ultimately help accomplish the goals.
