Download or read book Job Survival and Success Scale written by John J. Liptak and published by JIST Works. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research indicates that "soft" skills are the ones employers desire most in employees: interpersonal skills, ethics and integrity, leadership, perseverance, teamwork, motivation, and initiative. The new Job Survival and Success Scale (JSSS) is designed to help trainers and programs identify an individual's strengths and weaknesses in relation to critical job retention skills. After responding to 60 statements, individuals explore their behaviors and attitudes related to employment staying power. The JSSS is self-scoring and self-interpreting, includes suggestions with check boxes for job success, and provides writing space for "My Success Plan." It can be administered to individuals or to groups and as a pre-test and post-test for workshops and classes on job preparation, job success, job change, and career management. The inventory is written at an eighth-grade reading level and works well with JIST's job retention and job success material.

Download or read book Success at Scale written by Mikhail Zinshteyn and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success at Scale seeks to document the strategies and solutions institutions are using to improve student outcomes. Some are well-known but little understood. Others are small in nature but show great promise. This special report is almost entirely focused on community colleges and regional public universities, which are the workhorses of higher education and whose share of the total student population pie is inversely proportional to the news media attention they typically receive. We will explore in detail the major reforms galvanizing two-year colleges and the four-year institutions that partner with them. The City University of New York's Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP), guided pathways, transfer solutions and finally a deep dive into California State University's effort to more than double its four-year graduation rate are the cornerstones of this special report. The stakes are high for creating financially sustainable reforms. It's our hope that this report will apprise readers of the hard work needed to follow promising reforms with fidelity rather than fall victim to their simpler, ersatz versions. College leaders may be familiar with strong reform models for improving student success, but they risk taking shortcuts without greater awareness of the complexities that lie ahead.

Download or read book Increasing Persistence written by Wesley R. Habley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INCREASING PERSISTENCE "Of all the books addressing the puzzle of student success and persistence, I found this one to be the most helpful and believe it will be extremely useful to faculty and staff attempting to promote student success. The authors solidly ground their work in empirical research, and do a brilliant job providing both an overview of the relevant literature as well as research-based recommendations for intervention." GAIL HACKETT, PH.D., provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs; professor, counseling and educational psychology, University of Missouri, Kansas City Research indicates that approximately forty percent of all college students never earn a degree anywhere, any time in their lives. This fact has not changed since the middle of the 20th century. Written for practitioners and those who lead retention and persistence initiatives at both the institutional and public policy levels, Increasing Persistence offers a compendium on college student persistence that integrates concept, theory, and research with successful practice. It is anchored by the ACT's What Works in Student Retention (WWISR) survey of 1,100 colleges and universities, an important resource that contains insights on the causes of attrition and identifies retention interventions that are most likely to enhance student persistence.?? The authors focus on three essential conditions for student success: students must learn; students must be motivated, committed, engaged, and self-regulating; and students must connect with educational programs consistent with their interests and abilities. The authors offer a detailed discussion of the four interventions that research shows are the most effective for helping students persist and succeed: assessment and course placement, developmental education initiatives, academic advising, and student transition programming. Finally, they urge broadening the current retention construct, providing guidance to policy makers, campus leaders, and individuals on the contributions they can make to student success.
