Hi,
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. I got around the no study tables for just athletes by having all students come. If the coaches want to strongly encourage their students to come to my program, that is fine. But they are not the only students who can use it. By marketing it to everyone (especially 1st years) my college sees it as a retention program and everyone uses it.
I hope this helps.
Jenny

I've enjoyed the thread on providing concentrated study halls and study tables for athletes. I'm particularly impressed with Jenny Pippen's open study concept and Monitor Training. Thank you, Jenny, for sharing this.
I also agree with Travis and Todd that pre-term workshops do little to inspire or motivate students, especially struggling athletes. Earlier research suggested "front-loading" as a means of providing students with tools for success, but that has been trumped with current research on structured learning assistance and the consequences of learning study skills in a vacuum. I realize timing is an issue with athletes, so pre-conditioning week may be the only time available to offer your study skills workshops. If that is the case, I recommend a detailed needs assessment prior to the workshops. I also suggest a detailed evaluation of your efforts. The evaluation should include a survey distributed to the athletes at midterm and term-end to gauge their perceptions of the help, as well as a review of the overall GPAs and final course grades, and maybe even course enrollment history. If your evaluation results cannot show pre-conditioning workshops have any redeeming value, you ha!
ve an excellent case for offering another alternative. :)
On another note, I've been led to believe my state program funds make it impossible for me to offer special study skills services just to athletes. How are you guys getting around this or do you not fall under the same stipulations?

Subject: Re: Athletic Study Tables and Workshops
Robin,
I am getting ready to do some similar things with the football program
at Truman State University. I also support using Skip's website and
ideas, there is a wealth of information that can be applied to your
workshops. I am doing a series of workshops with the first year
football players and some that have been identified as struggling
academically. I agree with Travis regarding having something to apply
to the lessons covered in the workshop. It's important to have
something to connect knowledge and information to so they can apply
and utilize what is being discussed. I will be working in several
study skills in the workshops that happen after the semester starts.
For the first round, before school starts, I am doing one on
Expectations & Rigor of the university classroom. High lighting some
of the differences that they will encounter from high school with the
work, reading, professors, and educational environment.
I am putting together the workshop now. I am tying together some of
the lessons I learned from playing college football and international
rugby. Hopefully they can make some connections with how they
approached athletics and why they were successful as an athlete, with
how they need to approach, apply themselves, and engage in their
academics to be successful, allowing them to continue playing the
sport they love. I will throw in some good quotes and have them
journal and identify steps they did in becoming a successful football
player. (SImilar to Rita's natural learning) Then they will apply
that to their academic endeavors and think about their approach and
what will or will not create success. I will ask them about their
academic commitment and we will also discuss some time management,
distractions, and preparing themselves for the semester so they can
create a study system that allows them to prioritize and make choices
that allows successful outcomes. I am calling the workshop Truman
Bulldogs: Tackle your Inner-Academic Warrior. I wanted something
that I thought would appeal to the athletes. I will also be utilizing
the workshop with other athletic groups on campus.
Just a few thoughts, since this is timely and I have been thinking
about this exact challenge and figuring out what I will put together
that will appeal to the athletes. I tried to remember what I wished
someone had told me as a new college athlete. I hope this is of some
help.
Good luck,
Todd
