Assisting Students in Distress
Time: 45 minutes
Audience: Staff, Faculty, and TAs
Description: Helping students who experience academic and wellbeing challenges is often a part of our roles. The Green Folder provides a concise and helpful way to quickly assess the urgency and type of students concerns, and refer them to the correct supports.
Early Alert Orientation (All staff, faculty and TAs)
Time: 50 minutes
Audience: Staff, Faculty, and TAs
Description:
UBC strives to build a caring community, in which we all reach out and offer support when we notice signs of difficulty in others.
Early Alert helps facilitate this by helping staff, faculty and TA’s better support students who are facing difficulties that put their academic success at risk. This training is an introduction to the Early Alert program, and includes information about how to submit an Early Alert and how to access resources that will be useful when you are concerned about a student. This workshop is also offered regularly for the CTLT Institutes.
If you prefer to take the Early Alert online orientation you can do so without booking a synchronous session.
Early Alert for Advisors
Time: 2.5 hours
Audience: Student Advising and Support staff in Faculties & Specialize Student Support Offices
Description:
The Early Alert (EA) Program allows student advising and support staff to clearly understand a student concern, and organize the most efficient reach-out. Using the online EA system can be made easy, and this session will help advisors and support staff to view the right information, and apply their expertise to support a given student in the midst of academic and/or wellbeing challenges. The session involves a combination of lecture, live demonstration, and hands-on practice.
