Stylus Publishing (VA) Stylus Publishing Habits of Mind in Today's Students Book

Success in college and modern careers requires more than just academic knowledge. Many students, particularly those who are underprepared, face significant challenges because they lack explicit instruction in the soft skills necessary for postsecondary achievement. This book addresses that gap by providing a practical framework for developmental education. Developed through multi-campus and cross-disciplinary collaboration, this work introduces a specific set of strategies based on habits of mind. These methods are designed to help students navigate the obstacles that often stand in the way of degree completion. While the approach is highly effective for low-income, ESL, and first-generation college students, the strategies are versatile and provide benefits for the entire student body. Educators can use these insights to build a stronger foundation for student success in any academic setting.
