Strategies
- P-5a: Tier 1 Faculty and Enrollment and Completion Advisors will establish a collaborative partnership to prepare for implementation of the “First Year Common Read” (Note: The common read activity focuses on enhancing students' critical thinking skills, introducing students to healthy debate and inquiry, and encouraging students to interact with faculty.)
- P-5b: Monitor the student’s performance on activities.
Measures
- Identification of Tier 1 faculty (list of faculty and selection process)
- Implementation of Common Read and Pre-Assessment baseline (critical reflection of baseline assessment “how is the baseline used to provide enhancements to students”, critical reflection of the assignment and critical reflection event)
- Number of discussion sessions (calendar of events for sessions/topics)
- Number of students participating in study sessions (T-CLAW attendance report)
This structured approach ensures that students are equipped with the necessary skills to enhance their problem-solving and critical thinking abilities, promoting academic success and intellectual growth.
