  2. STUDENT SUCCESS KIT (SSK) INTRODUCTION • Purpose: Increase academic success of students. • What is it: System of self-administered assessments (tools) covering a range of academic and personal issues. • Support: Exercises, techniques, information and follow-up procedures.

  3. ASSUMPTIONS • Reasons for student success vary. • Needs should be met before expectations can be fully realized. • If we don’t meet them, who will? • Instructors are an important part of process. • There is adequate time in and out of classroom to handle the process. • There are additional resources at COD to work with this SSK system.

  4. ANTICIPATED OUTCOMESFROM FULL AND SUCCESSFUL USE OF THE STUDENT SUCCESS KIT PROCESS • Improved student success - higher level of performance in academic/personal areas. • More effective learning/teaching environment – students will know that they can get needed assistance and faculty will be able to teach to a higher level of performance expectations. • More effective utilization of Student Services resources - increased referrals for appropriate student problems/issues.
