The College Coach Approach:
A Low Cost, High Impact Strategy for Student Success
Available On-Demand

"Coaching is a powerful process that helps people improve effectiveness and performance. Through this process, students focus on the skills and actions needed to successfully produce personally relevant results."

Steve Fishman & Lisa Decandia

~ Creators of the College Coach Approach

Presentation Overview

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a unique repertoire of emotional skills and competencies that a person uses to navigate everyday challenges of life. EI skills can assist students in adapting to the demands and pressures of the college environment, promoting effective student learning, and contributing to college success.

This session will highlight an innovative and collaborative approach that significantly contributes to student success and college retention. College employees (staff, faculty and administrators) utilize their leadership and EI skills to make a meaningful difference in the lives of college students. In their role as ‘College Coach’, they encourage student to develop those EI skills that are paramount for being academically successful. In doing so, college employees expand their own personal repertoire of EI skills which leads to personal and professional growth.

What is a webinar?

A webinar is an interactive seminar conducted over the web and is typically 1.5 to 2 hours long.

What is the process? Webinar participants log into the webinar site with a username and password sent via email. Participants can print handouts, as we send you a link to the presentation via email approximately 2 days prior to the event. Once logged in, you are able to see the PowerPoint slides, ask questions and make comments via chat, very similar to instant messaging.
Is there a recording available? Approximately one week after the conclusion of the webinar, you will receive a link to the recording which is yours for one year and can be forwarded to all faculty and staff at your institution for viewing anytime, anywhere.
What equipment is required? An Internet connection, computer speakers and LCD projector if a large group is present.

What are the benefits of a webinar?

Cost-Effective: No travel required. Webinars are an innovative way to provide your entire faculty and staff with a variety of professional development opportunities for one low price! The more you train - the more you save, as the registration fee is per institution, not per person.
Easy: You will receive a detailed list of instructions via email a week prior to the event. And if you run into any problems, we're always here to help.
Interactive: Chat online with presenters, participate in online polling questions, discuss specific situations with your colleagues, and receive implementation strategies for your campus (included when appropriate). You can even join a discussion group to continue the discussion with the presenter and webinar participants. Join discussion groups at www.weeklyinnovations.org.
Practical: Our training sessions focus on the most critical and relevant issues facing educators today. Our primary goal is to provide participants with the information, training and skills necessary to immediately implement positive change at their institutions.
Top-Notch Speakers: Our speakers are subject matter experts and recognized in their field.
Value Added: When you purchase a webinar, you also receive access to the recording, which is good for one year. You can use it wherever and as often as you want, offering consistent training to your faculty and staff.

How will we use these trainings?

Flexible Training:
- Live: Promote and attend a live webinar and debrief immediately following.
- Hybrid: Distribute a recording to all faculty and staff at the beginning of each month and plan a discussion session at the end of the month to determine how you will implement the strategies presented.
- On-Demand: Distribute a recording to faculty and staff so they can watch anytime, anywhere. Contact Innovative Educators at val@ieinfo.org, and we will create an online discussion group specifically for your institution at no extra charge.

In-Service Training: Plan an in-service around a live webinar or schedule a day and time to show the recording in a lecture hall or large conference room and invite faculty and staff to attend - brainstorm and discuss implications for your college.
Staff Recognition: Develop a program around the webinar with monthly themes and recognize the staff members that implement the best idea related to the theme.
Team-Building: Utilize these webinars to develop cross-functional and cross-discipline teams to foster collegiality.
