Kognito: Online Training to Identify Student Distress & Suicide

Recognizing that suicide is the second leading cause of death among U.S. college-age young people, Gavilan College has launched an innovative program to train faculty and staff in suicide prevention. This is a one-hour, online simulation in which faculty and staff engage in virtual role-play with student avatars showing signs of depression, substance abuse, bullying and thoughts of suicide.  At the end of the training, users will have acquired both the ability to act as soon as they have a concern about a student, and the comfort and skills to help the student seek help.  Begin by going to: https://aruf.kognito.com.

California Acceleration Project

Gavilan is participating in the California Acceleration Project, sponsored by 3CSN (California Community Colleges’ Success Network), which aims to provide scaffolding and high-level challenge in English and math courses to help developmental students move more quickly and successfully  into transfer-level  courses.  This initiative grew out of a desire to address the problem of “exponential attrition,” where high percentages of students who begin in the lowest levels fail to persist through the sequence of developmental courses. See webinars, research, and resources at the California Acceleration Project. Find out more at: http://3csn.org/developmental-sequences/
