Affective Precursors to Academic Performance

This webinar will explore the role of affective or non-cognitive learning in meeting the needs of basic skills students and why it is an important precursor to academic performance. Evidence of academic and affective outcomes will be presented from multiple colleges. Webinar viewers will understand how affective learning is important to meeting the needs of today’s basic skills students, and will be clear about next steps for bringing this innovation to their campuses. Recording coming soon.

Affective Domain Webinar Series

In this webinar series, Diego Navarro, full-time faculty member at Cabrillo College and founder of the Academy for College Excellence, discussed:

  • Evidence that shows the importance of the affective domain in helping community college basic skills students become academically successful
  • Teaching to the affective domain
  • Rethinking Orientation to Community College

This series built on Diego’s presentation on measuring the affective domain at the Strengthening Student Success Conference in Costa Mesa, California October 4, 2012.
