It's all about student engagement!

Students do not always know how to learn. Some students figure out how to learn on their own, but increasingly, students need assistance in changing their attitudes, strategies, and cognitions in order to maximize learning. Way to Succeed encourages students to engage with the content through assessing learning behaviors and metacognitions, while providing personalized feedback and recommendations for improving learning weaknesses and encouraging continued use of learning strengths.

PASSIVE STUDENTS

... are academically unsuccessful
... are unsure of ability to learn
... aimless
... have a random approach to
learning
... attribute success to luck or
talent
... are isolated academically
... attribute failure to bad luck or
no talent

ENGAGED STUDENTS

... are academically successful
... are confident in ability to learn
... are goal-oriented
... are strategic in their learning
... see success as a result of working
and thinking

hard enough or not thinking things
through

Teachers and professors cannot always overcome the difficulties that less academically successful students have. True change must come from within the individual student.
Way to Succeed helps students achieve their own potential by developing an awareness of self, and learning what it takes to learn effectively, regardless of other personal and classroom factors.
