Early Alerts Reach out. Make connections. Be the human in the loop.
The Post-Covid Student Blues
Dr. Keaton Lamle, Senior Lecturer of English My Teaching Context 65% General Education 35% Upper Division/Graduate Courses
Start with the Easy Stuff: Early Alerts
Start with the Easy Stuff: Student-Athlete Feedback
Start with the Easy Stuff: Mid- Term Grades Some studies indicate that mid-term grades are particularly important for students in the D-C range (Gray & Bunte, 2022).
My Personalized Feedback System
The institutional interventions help me build a mental map of how each of my 5 classes is shaking out early in the term. My Personalized Feedback System The first two (student-athlete progress and early alert) typically arrive after we ve completed several weeks of low-stakes work, and one high-stakes assignment. This is a significant sample of student work.
What Im Looking For: Performing the Scan Excessive absences in F2F; Missed modules in online courses. More than one zero in the gradebook. Averages below 75%.
Contrast with institutional efforts: Personable, humane, non-threatening. Sending the Message More consulting physician; less traffic cop.
Sending the Message
Thank you so much for checking in. Not many professors would do that, and it means a lot. I would like to apologize for neglecting your class recently. Thank you very much for your understanding. I d also like to thank you for telling me what exactly I could do to better my grade, I ll turn in these assignments as soon as possible. I greatly appreciate your help and patience! Sample Responses Hey! First of all wow - thank you so much for reaching out. I wasn't too happy to find out that I have a failing grade in this class. I've been kind of a wreck recently, and for me school has always been a balancing act I've had a hard time keeping in check.
Affirmation Specificity Optimism Personal Invitation Ask about confusion and offer to meet. Affirm anything student *has* done well. Emphasize specific metrics where engagement is lacking for example: attendance, daily writing assignments. Maintain an optimistic tone, pointing out what can be done to fix the problem.
