2Broken EscalatorWhats the main point?Exercise: Raise your hand as high as you can. Now raise it higher. Why didnt you do that in the first place.

GET OFF the ESCALATOR and walk!!!! Proactve vs. reactive

3Whats the Difference?High SchoolCollege180 hours of instructionLittle or no time studying

Constant reminder of classes through homework & reading assignmentsAs & Bs without studying

Teacher Supported/Directed48 hours of instructionStudy 2 hours for every hour of classNo homework or reading assignments for every class

Ds and Fs without studyingStudent DirectedSurvey group for ideas and repeat what is said.

Can you get the same A and B in college by devoting the same amount of study time that you did in high school? You can ask students, How many of you got As and Bs in HS? How many of you expect to get As and Bs in college? How many of you expect to study a lot/hard for those As and Bs?

180 DAYS vs. 48 hours (3 unit course): End of the semester is deceptively distant, but very close. You need to get into the semester right away.Studying is outside of classroomMake up your own homework. Ask yourself, What can I do to learn this material? Get off the escalator and walk!

Optional:

Ask students if they have any questions. Heres an idea on how to handle this:-Ask students to think about a question they have.-Discuss their questions with other students around them.-For the unanswered questions, have one of the students in the group ask one of the counselors in the aisle.-Have counselors answer questions and share good questions in the large group.

Dismiss students with ed plans. Their orientation ends here.
