Community College League of California 2015 Annual Convention

Session Description:  Evidence suggests that closing the student equity gap will require addressing non-cognitive skills such as grit and persistence. However, without measuring the effects of affective interventions we cannot determine effective practices. This session will focus on academic and non-cognitive evidence of effective practices, and models of best practices from across the country.

Presenters:

Diego Navarro, Visiting Scholar, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Faculty on Sabbatical, Cabrillo College

Jonathan Brennan, PhD, EdD English Faculty, Mission College & Chair, On Course National Conference.
