The process in WIReD to identify students for Early Alert letters \u2013 the Early Warning Web Application \u2013 will open for faculty use on Monday, Sept. 12. <\/strong><\/p>\n Data collected at Hudson Valley for the last six years show <\/strong>that just over half (52.6 percent) of the new, matriculated students identified at the start of the fall semester returned the following spring. That\u2019s not surprising. \u00a0More than forty percent of the students identified for Early Warning letters are chronically absent from class or have never attended class.<\/p>\n These data underscore how important it is for instructors to identify students who are in class but showing signs they are struggling. These are the students who may take action now to succeed this term and lay the groundwork to return in the spring.<\/p>\n Some students are inattentive, unprepared or do not participate in discussions, fail to turn in assignments, or perform poorly on early assignments. The goal of the letters is to prompt these students to meet with the instructor and formulate a plan for success. Although the identification process will be available throughout most of the semester, now is the time to intervene with these students so they can take the steps necessary to succeed before<\/span> their first exams.<\/strong><\/p>\n Written instructions for using the Early Warning Web Application have been sent to all academic departments. The instructions also are available at www.hvcc.edu\/issr\/ews<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you have any questions regarding Hudson Valley\u2019s Early Warning System, please contact Kevin McNeelege, retention specialist, at x7638 or h.mcneelege@hvcc.edu<\/a> or Gail Dailey, enrollment\/retention services technician, at x7505 or g.dailey@hvcc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:00:26 +0000 by\u00a0h.mcneelege<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The process in WIReD to identify students for Early Alert letters \u2013 the Early Warning Web Application \u2013 will…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-announcements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2516\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
