Overview

Student motivation is the #1 factor in student retention. Student motivation and behavioral change occur by changing student perceptions from perceiving the material as ‘study skills’ to seeing it as professional development for a high-performance career and by encouraging students to adopt high-performance work habits and skills. There’s a huge difference between doing schoolwork to meet college requirements, and approaching college as professional development for career success and future employment.

The #1 factor in academic success is the development of high-performance college skills. College success skills are the foundation for workplace skills, so we need to prepare our students for a lifelong career by helping them develop these essential skills. Students often perceive that they do schoolwork “for the college” to get good grades, rather than for their own long term benefit. Changing that perception helps students see the relevance of their studies and motivates them to be successful. This webinar will teach you how to incorporate 21^st century skills into your classroom and make the connection between schoolwork and future employment.
