Student Success: The Instructors’ Toolkit identified several ideas for possible action on improving
student success. Some of them are: creating student cohorts (or learning communities) within
disciplines, using an Early Alert system to inform individual students who are falling behind in your
course , using classroom time for “advising” students, offering more interdisciplinary approaches in
the course offerings, and working more closely with K-12 feeder schools. In the area of staff
development, the Toolkit mentions: faculty peer mentoring, peer observation, sharing teaching
ideas, improving evaluation structures, and funding for training/conferences.
