The Hidden Curriculum of College: What does it mean to be a ‘good student’?
Sometimes we feel that no matter how well we teach the content, students don’t seem to have the skills to be a ‘good student’. What does this actually mean? In this workshop, we will discover new ways to integrate in-class advising strategies as a way to unlock the hidden curriculum of college and help students learn how to learn.
Learning Objectives:
Some aspects of the hidden curriculum include understanding expectations from professors (being proactive in communication, understanding flexibility in office hours and assignments), grasping how to manage time effectively, metacognition skills on effective study strategies, connecting class content to personal and career goals, learning how to navigate the college system (logistics and resources), discovering networking opportunities, and figuring out social norms (clubs, events, study groups).
