Student Success at Missouri State
Presenters: Rachelle Darabi, Michael Frizell, Diana Garland, Carol Shoptaugh, and Kelly Wood
The Missouri State vision is “Missouri State University will be the university of choice to develop successful students who excel academically and in ethical leadership, cultural competence and community engagement.” But what does it take to develop successful students and what is student success? In this interactive opening session, we will discuss how faculty and staff impact student success. We encourage attendees to join the discussion and have an opportunity to ask questions. Faculty and staff who offer student-focused services will describe how their work contributes to student success at MSU.

Teach Students to Learn: Metacognition is the Key!
21 Century students come to college with widely varying academic skills, approaches to learning, and motivation levels. Faculty often lament that students are focused on achieving high grades, but are not willing to invest much time or effort in learning. This session will focus on the importance of helping students acquire simple, but effective learning strategies based on cognitive science principles. We will engage in interactive reflection activities that will allow attendees to experience strategies that significantly improve learning while transforming student attitudes about the meaning of learning.
Special Workshop
1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Increasing Student Motivation: Strategies that Work
Motivating today’s students to actively engage in learning activities proves challenging for most faculty. Very often millennial students do not respond as did students in the past to extrinsic motivators such as bonus quizzes and extra credit assignments. However, as James Raffini presents in 150 Ways to Increase Intrinsic Motivation in the Classroom, when the psycho-academic needs of students are met in creative ways, student motivation soars. This presentation will engage faculty in a discussion of addressing student needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness, self-esteem, and enjoyment in order to significantly increase student motivation.
