Abstract:
|
Want to better connect with students but not sure how? In this age of changing demographics, forging meaningful relationships is key to student retention and success. In this session you will learn about the power an innovative method to engage and connect with at-risk students. Based on the pedagogy of Dr. Paul Hernandez, a former youth at-risk, participants will learn how the concept of Real Talk helped foster student engagement and belonging at a large four-year university in the Midwest, resulting in increased retention. Participants will be guided to begin formulating their own Real Talk narrative to more effectively mentor, advise, and teach at-risk students at their institutions in academic advising, student affairs support programs, and in the classroom. |
