NSSI Engaging Activities for Understanding The Culture

Infuse student success into any program with our “Engaging Activities for…” Series.  Written and compiled by National Student Success Institute (NSSI®) co-founders Amy Baldwin, Steve Piscitelli, and Robert Sherfield, the material is sure to connect, support, and empower educators in the Two-Year, Technical, and Career Colleges.  These booklets contain strategies, procedural information, and activities that you can use with your students immediately.   

 

Any time you travel to another country or just cross streets in your community, you are faced with differing cultural norms, artifacts, and rituals.  Students who are the first in their family to attend college or just new college students must learn and deal with cultural issues as well.  College expectations, syllabi and financial aid forms, and the seemingly endless readings, papers, and tests can be overwhelming and confusing.  For some, they have difficulty assimilating as college students.  The engaging activities for Understanding the Culture of College will help students learn how to transition successfully to the college environment.  

 

Amy, Steve, and Robb have developed this practical compilation, Engaging Activities for Understanding the Culture of College, as an indispensable, hands-on resource for educators to address the topic of college culture.  This booklet will empower teachers, professional development coordinators, coaches, and administrators with tools to actively engage in their classes.  They are confident you will find these activities as useful as they have with their students.
