Student Success helps students develop positive behaviors that will lead to success in college and beyond. The book provides a practical framework, how-to exercises, a behavioral observation measurement system, behavioral profiles, self-tests, and a behavioral change methodology for individuals, families, and schools seeking to establish, assess, and improve behavioral performance. It introduces students to the 5C Elements of Behavior: Communication, which conveys appropriateness; Choice, which conveys judgment; Caring, which conveys concern for others; Commitment, which conveys duty; and Coping, which conveys fortitude. These five elements are the core to understanding how students can monitor, measure, and modify their behavior to reach their academic—and ultimately life—goals. Down-to-earth and practical, the book emphasizes real-life situations that all students face, offering them the opportunity to weigh the best solutions for any problem they encounter.
