Abstract:
One of the core challenges of implementing an academic improvement program is not about knowing what is/is not effective but about scaling up with consistency so a larger population of students benefit from proven practices. At two Penn State campuses, using Starfish academic improvement Success Plans increased consistency and effectiveness in student support while also streamlining adviser workload by automating communication, creating early touchpoints, and potentially heading off more intensive interventions. This session will showcase the local development and deployment of Starfish success plans for academic improvement at campuses. Program leaders will demonstrate how to use Success Plans in work with students on academic warning and will reflect on outcomes a year after success plans were implemented, including lessons learned, enhancements, and data on advising contacts and academic standing outcomes.
