"Because most of your student body is experiencing true independence away from home for the first time in their lives, some students will struggle with adapting to college life even when they have the smarts to succeed in the classroom. With each student that I worked with, the key to setting goals would be to find the root cause of their academic issues first and then work with them to set goals that will get them back on the right track. For me, tracking goals would be critical so that students are accountable for the necessary steps in achieving their goals. As well, documentation of progress will help me monitor the progress of the student."
