Guidelines for Presentations and Discussions of FIGs and other BSI-funded projects
PURPOSE of presentations:
• Study, discuss, and publicize results from all BSI/T3 FIGs.
What do our own best practices tell us?
• Refine or add to last year’s Basic Skills Committee recommendations
Besides encouraging students to take assessment and basic skills courses earlier,
what else can we recommend to increase student success in basic skills?
Guidelines for presenters:
What you have done?
What have you learned?
How do you think that other faculty or staff can best use what you have learned?
What questions do you still have?
Guidelines for discussions:
• Clarifying questions?
• How can other faculty or the college best use what was learned here?
• What are the implications of this practice
for how the college can support success in basic skills?
