Assessing & Addressing Job Performance Challenges To Positively Impact Engagement & Retention
On-Demand Training
After this webinar, participants will be able to evaluate potential performance challenges and their impacts; while taking away promising practices and communication tactics to navigate performance situations that may impact students.
The webinar will address the challenges that leaders in higher education often face in addressing performance challenges and/or being able to assess their performance culture to support their mission and goals.
The higher education environment is continually evolving as colleges and universities tackle a variety of external and internal challenges to achieve their respective missions. The ability to accomplish that mission – and what sets apart great organizations from good ones- are their employees. A highly engaged and high performing workforce is critical to success in today’s higher education environment. It is also essential for higher education’s ability to attract and retain top talent for faculty, staff, and administration.
Often in higher education, our constructs and systems unintentionally send messages to employees that full engagement and contribution of every employee is optional, not required. While students depend on all college employees to do their best to serve them in the classroom or otherwise; when that does not occur leaders are often void of the tools and mechanisms to appropriately address job performance challenges with employees when they encounter them. Leveraging experience from the private sector, higher education, and study as a leadership coach; the presenter will share lessons and information to help provide leaders with insights and confidences to have courageous conversations to help increase employee performance or manage through challenges. Vital internal partners, the impact of organizational culture and pragmatic strategies will be shared. This webinar is appropriate for any leader within the college environment or those aspiring to lead.

Student Success requires everyone to be all in – it’s not something that is achieved alone. A leader’s ability to manage the highs and lows of performance is all part of the essential mix to ensure engaged teams of staff and faculty – are taking steps daily to help make our students' lives better.

Which workshops are your top rated?
We take quality seriously, and so all of our workshops are top notch in terms of content and look. However, if we know how you plan to use StudentLingo (FYE, Retention, Probation, TRIO, etc.), we can make workshop recommendations.
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.

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:
- How will I know if StudentLingo was successful?
- What do I hope students will gain from access to StudentLingo?
- What data is important for me to know in order to show that StudentLingo is a worthwhile purchase?

Do CRLA members receive a discount on TutorLingo?
Yes. CRLA members receive a 10% discount on TutorLingo.
