Faculty Development: Beyond Laziness: Uncovering Hidden Barriers to College Success

As faculty, we have all struggled to understand why students miss assignments, don’t come to class, procrastinate when taking exams, etc. Instead of contributing this behavior to laziness or apathy, what if we tried to identify potential barriers that might be precipitating these actions and devise targeted interventions to mitigate their effects? This webinar provides strategies to find, understand, and alleviate potential hidden barriers to student success in higher education.

Join us for, Beyond Laziness: Uncovering Hidden Barriers to College Success, this Thursday, Oct. 10 from 1-2:30 p.m. in Sangamon 1102 or on Teams. Register online.

Presenters include, Anne Armbruster, director, student support services; Alex Berry, associate vice president, student success; Candace Silas, director, WEI and PATH.

This workshop will begin with a viewing of a live webinar in Sangamon 1102 at 1 p.m., followed by a discussion led by LLCC staff until 2:30 p.m. Those who attend both parts in-person will receive 2 points. Those who attend only the discussion on Teams will be awarded 1 point.
