As college enrollments have grown, professors report increasing numbers of students who are unprepared for the rigors of postsecondary education—who are academically at-risk because of inadequate reading, writing and study skills. This book provides teachers with techniques and approaches they can use in class to help at-risk students raise their skills so that they can successfully complete their studies. The author shares proven practices that will not only engage all students in a class, but also create the conditions—while maintaining high standards and high expectations—to enable at-risk and under-prepared students to develop academically and graduate with good grades. The author also explains how to work effectively with academic support units on campus.
