• We hire Transfer Student Peer Mentors (TSPM) from a variety of colleges and demographics (veterans, non-traditional students in terms of age, work and life experiences). Most of our transfer population is still on average young, however we see an increasing number of older, previously in the work force, married and/or with children transfers in our program. The program attempts to address the needs of multiple demographics. Information on our mentors found here:: http://successcenter.tamu.e

Student academic success is a direct reflection of how a particular school system is run. From kindergarten until fourth grade, I attended large public schools and I performed poorly in all of them. I was placed into learning support services that would clarify new concepts and reduce the amount of class work given to me. However, it did little to help me, and after fourth grade I attended High Point Academy, a charter school that changed me entirely. During the first month of fifth grade, I was

place where students will not be attacked for their ideas. This will begin by first establishing the rules at the start of the school year. Setting up an agreement with students that they can joke around sometimes, and that overall the classroom will have a relaxing, and laid back atmosphere. However the one main rule that I would establish early on with students is attacking a student personally. As an example if the students were taking part in a debate, challenging another students ideas in a debate

is the fact that student debt is at an all time high. There are about 37 million people who are actually struggling to pay off their student debt. This student debt is estimated to be an appalling $1 trillion. It is certain that this influences both the government, but the question is what the influence is? Is it emotion; is it reason, or both? Would a combination of both ideals be beneficial to both sides? In regards to change that satisfies both the government, and the students; emotion combined

Student Description: • Based off sheer size of my classes, prior to looking at the data, I determined that I wanted my student intervention to take place with a group in my sixth period B-day class. My sixth period is one of my largest (if not the largest) class that I have, and with that being said, many of the students are unable to get the individualized attention that they need. The students I targeted were specifically chosen because they are some of the lowest students in my class. The Intensive

Being a college student comes with some challenges and some of the challenges are trying to keep up with all the assignments, trying to live away from home and the biggest challenge is being financially prepared for college. Being a freshman in college requires a lot of money and when it comes to paying for tuition, textbooks and other college expense, most students are not prepared on how the money should be spent properly. There are college students who live away from home and that increases the

needs of an ever growing student population. As modern societies grow and develop, so does the diversity of college and university students. The increase in technology creates a surge in individuals looking to further develop and create better opportunities for themselves. These individuals are referred to as Nontraditional students. The number of college students 25 years and over has grown from fewer than 4million in 1980 to more than 6 million in 2000. Nontraditional students make up 45% of the total

thousands of students, so it is surprising to notice how individuals typically do not connect with more than a handful of people. Most people limit themselves to a group of friends with similar interests or a similar field of study. This comfort zone which students prefer to stay in throughout their stay in university limits the students and results in negative outcomes. Students reduce themselves to knowing a few people and lessen their range of connections and knowledge. This results in a student who may

Unmanageable Students” Behavior as a communication problem In the classroom, it is important to make sure to communicate instructions clearly when comes to behaviorally challenging students. As the teacher you must understand what your students are trying to tell you. Many times they communicate through having behavior problems.
