Participants will learn what the current research says about growth mindset, belonging, and resilience and how these learning mindsets can help students succeed in their first year of college. They will also take away specific strategies to use in their first-year program that can enhance student success.

This webinar addresses a few challenges with incorporating learning mindsets such as growth mindset, belonging, and resilience in a first-year program:

  • Creating a shared language for learning mindsets such a growth mindset, sense of belonging, and resilience as they relate to and impact student success
  • Identifying where and how to incorporate growth mindset, sense of belonging, and resilience into their first-year program
  • Sustaining a message that supports, rather than undermines, these learning mindsets

Current research on growth mindset, belonging, and resilience has exploded in the last few years. Many student success professionals are grappling with how best to take what we know works and implement it into a first-year course or program. Questions such as “What works and why?” and “Who would be most positively affected?” and “How can we easily incorporate these interventions with little effort and money?” often come up when institutions begin to explore opportunities to foster these noncognitive traits. In this engaging and interactive webinar, participants will learn how to apply the current research on growth mindset, belonging, and resilience to developing first-year programming that provides opportunities for students to encourage, develop, or enhance these traits.

  • Discuss the current research of growth mindset, belonging, and resilience
  • Describe how incorporating a focus on growth mindset, belonging, and resilience into the first-year can lead to long-term gains for students
  • Describe the key components of effective interventions related to a growth mindset, belonging, and resilience
  • Determine at least two opportunities to foster a growth mindset, belonging, and resilience in their first-year program
  • Create a plan for incorporating the growth mindset, belonging, and resilience into their first-year student success course or program
  • Administration
  • Faculty
  • Student Services/Affairs
  • First-year experience/first-year programs
  • First-year faculty, advisors, peer coaches, and tutors
  • Any educator interested in learning more about the growth mindset, belonging and resilience

Funding is a little tight, how many workshops can I get for $XX?

You can buy the entire StudentLingo package (50 workshops) or we offer several a la carte options. Unlike a lot of other software companies, we don’t charge per user, so we can work with any budget. We recommend talking to other departments on campus to increase your purchasing power and to share the cost. Also, we do have a pay model whereby students pay directly.

This is a feature of our platform, but comes at an additional cost. With the admin view, you get access to more advanced reporting, and you have it in real time. With the standard membership, you get monthly reports.


How have other schools leveraged reporting?
  • One of our partners, College of Southern Nevada, used StudentLingo to measure learning outcomes. in a study, one class had access to StudentLingo and the other cohort did not. 92% of the cohort with access to StudentLingo earned a whole letter grade higher than the cohort without StudentLingo.
  • A lot of our partners use the data to justify funding for grants, operating dollars, or for new program development.
  • The evaluation data is particularly useful in identifying what type of learning students prefer and the qualitative takeaways from viewing the workshop.
  • Some of our partners use the data to connect with their student information system, like Banner or Peoplesoft. 
  • I think a great way to get started on how you want to use the data is to ask yourself some questions:
    1. How will I know if StudentLingo was successful?
    2. What do I hope students will gain from access to StudentLingo?
    3. What data is important for me to know in order to show that StudentLingo is a worthwhile purchase?

TutorLingo is a flexible tutor training plaform and can be purchased at the Bronze, Silver or Gold level to meet your training needs.  Every level consists of a series of 9 Core online training modules that prepare tutors by providing the basic skills necessary to support their peers in becoming more independent and strategic learners.

Should the TutorLingo trainings be viewed in any particular order?

No, each training is a stand-alone workshop, and they can be viewed in any order.


Do you offer micro-credentialing for Tutoring Center staff?

Yes, we offer multiple micro-credentials which would serve Tutoring Center teams including Tutoring Center Administration, Mastering Service Excellence, Fostering A Culturally Responsive Campus Through Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Supervisory Leadership: Maximizing Productivity & Staff Development.
