Supporting At Promise Students: Crack Slippers
Tuesday April 29, 2025 10:00am - 11:15am PDT
TBA
Is the idea of all students succeeding truly believed, or is it just a cliché? If we genuinely believe it, we must be willing to do whatever it takes, even if it’s unconventional. The "crack slipper" is a student who doesn't fit into the existing structures and slips through the cracks. This presentation will explore strategies for supporting at-risk and at-promise students, focusing on identifying root causes and customizing support. We will address issues of misplacement and open discussion on best practices. Ultimately, the goal is to inspire educators to better support marginalized students at risk of falling into the "black hole."
