Supporting Student Success on the NCLEX-RN

Many new nursing leaders assuming deanships, assistant, or interim deanships have limited education, experience, or background to prepare them for the job. To assist new deans and those aspiring to be deans, the authors of this department, 2 deans, offer survival tips based on their personal experiences and insights. They address common issues, challenges, and opportunities that face academic executive teams, such as negotiating an executive contract, obtaining faculty lines, building effective work teams, managing difficult employees, and creating nimble organizational structure to respond to changing consumer, healthcare delivery, and community needs. The authors welcome counterpoint discussions with readers.

Transformative Partnerships: Designing School‐Based Visual Arts Outreach Programmes

AbstractPartnerships between informal learning environments and schools have been cited as an innovative, effective way for museums, galleries and schools to work together to enrich classroom curricula, support student success, and facilitate the utilisation of available community museum and cultural resources. This article reports on findings from a multi‐year, exploratory arts outreach programme for 31 elementary and secondary visual art educators from a rural school district in the American South. The outreach programme was conceived in partnership with faculty from the neighbouring university's art department, school of education and university art gallery. Utilising a partnership framework, the travelling exhibit was developed through a collaborative research relationship with the participating visual art educators. Findings from this programme indicate that travelling exhibits can be an effective mode of programme delivery for informal learning environments while also supporting the content needs for classroom arts educators if the programme stresses transformative partnerships across all invested parties.

Supporting Student Success

Whether we are passionate about educating students or whether we believe that educating students is a job responsibility, as practicing medical radiation technologists/therapists, we are all clinical role models and clinical teachers. Although the majority of students adapt to the clinical environment and professional culture without too much difficulty, as clinical teachers, we have all encountered the student we felt was a challenge to educate. You may have experienced a student you thought was not motivated, did not effectively communicate, or was just a “problem”! As clinical teachers, we often struggle with how best to educate the student who is experiencing difficulty, which can lead to feeling helpless as to how to assist the student to be successful. Regardless of the time and effort spent with the student, when the student is unsuccessful, the reflective practitioner inevitably feels some responsibility. Before characterizing a student as a “problem,” clinical teachers need to consider and recognize the many factors that may influence the poor performance. Using evidence from the literature, this article will describe common causes of difficulty that students may be experiencing, how to recognize the difficulty (including the complex nature of the difficulty), strategies for remedial intervention, and a structured framework for a remediation plan to enable the student to succeed.

Supporting student success at school through teacher professional learning: the pedagogy of disrupting the default modes of schooling

Social justice matters in education and it matters most when students struggle to complete and succeed at school. The central role of teachers' pedagogical practice in this process is well established, but what is less clear is how to support the kind of professional learning that contributes to students' success at school—the pedagogy of disrupting the default modes of schooling. This paper describes some existing structures in four schools working under challenging circumstances and how these structures function in ways to support different kinds of learning. Initiating and sustaining change requires fundamental disruptions to these modes of operation. In order for teachers to do new things, they need to be able to learn new things, but the difficulty is ensuring that teachers learn the kinds of practices and develop the kinds of beliefs that support students' success at school. We draw insights from our research into how this may be understood and achieved, and relate our findings to attempts to bridge the gap between the literature on learning organization and that of organizational learning.

Collaborating on Electronic Course Reserves to Support Student Success

As we move into an era in which an increasing amount of information is available in digital form and more universities and colleges are providing distance education courses, electronic course reserves are becoming an essential part of library services. The Digital Reading Room (DRR), an Athabasca University collaboratively developed e-reserves system, facilitates immediate student access to faculty selected, course specific resources in a variety of media and promotes increased use of electronic information resources. To encourage student success in a digital environment, the Library has worked with Faculty to create information literacy tools designed to help students become better researchers and information consumers.

Challenges in Supporting Student Learning and Success Through Student Services

AbstractStudent service units in community colleges are challenged by the increasing diversity of the student population, the call for a renewed focus on student learning and success, and the need to demonstrate more clearly the value‐added dimensions of their work.
