Study Groups/Success Teams

Success Teams provide academic support for general education courses, developmental reading and math. A SSG is a task-oriented study system that requires students to employ active learning skills in a small group setting.

Students are encouraged to take a learning styles inventory to understand how they learn best.  A free online inventory is available at: http://www.howtolearn.com/lsinventory_student.html.

  • Each group consists of no more than seven students.
     
  • Many students who participate in Success Teams are recommended by faculty, others are invited by the AAC based upon placement test results, and others self-select.
     
  • The Success Teams program is unlike tutoring, in that students are expected to attend each session having completed any out-of-class assignments and group practice items for purpose of mastery.
     
  • Students are aware that class attendance combined with commitment to regularly attend Success Team sessions is expected.
     
  • Success Teams are designed to encourage collaborative and active learning. Our role is to model active student learning, which is demonstrated during the study groups. 
     
  • The AAC employs various techniques to foster learning within each group and encourages participants to share feedback.
  • Sign-up today!  Fill in the Success Team interest section of the request form by clicking here.
