Intercollegiate athletics enables students to develop a wide range of skills that can support their success in college, in their careers, and in life. However, many student-athletes also need guidance to help them balance the demands of their academic and athletic lives.
This 90-minute webinar will consider individual and institutional initiatives that can support learning, development and persistence for student-athletes It will examine issues that impede and enhance the academic success of student-athletes. It will provide concrete, tangible strategies that can enable educators to motivate and support student-athletes to take greater responsibility for their own learning, development, and persistence. This session will provide information on the key elements of a successful academic support structure and provide resources for institutions seeking to implement or enhance programs to serve student-athletes. The webinar will also review the FLAG/GRO model developed by the NCAA to examine the level of academic risk of incoming and continuing student-athletes. The model is a tool that can also be used to anticipate and respond proactively to the needs of any at-risk student population.
