Here is the absolute truth about my academic journey…
I struggled when I first started started college! It took me some time to figure out how to manage key areas for success! As a first-generation college student I experienced a lot of adversity! Today, as a mathematics professor, speaker and champion for first-generation students, I get to live my dream!
What I learned is that students need a personally designed day-to-day plan. As a young student, I didn’t know how to value my time nor did I know how to make my environments conducive for success, and although I was personally and academically motivated MY ENVIRONMENT NEEDED STRUCTURE!
So, I’m here to show your students what made the difference!!
What do I mean when I say environment? Well…let’s discuss!
INTRODUCING ENVIRONMENTAL THERMOSTATS!!
Dr. Kendrick Savage defines Environmental Thermostats by describing how there are regulators [choices, tools, decisions, organization skills] that impact a students’ thermostat [being prepared, unprepared, healthy and/or unhealthy] and will ultimately impact their environment!
Problems happen when students are using/suffering from negative regulators [poor choices, poor time-management, disorganization, emotional and mental turmoil] that turn their environmental thermostat to negative, which creates an environment that is not conducive for success!
My program covers three essential environment areas:
Mental Health Environment
Physical Environment (Organization Skills/
Time-Management)
Emotional Health Environment
Each area will impact student success! You need a blueprint to help you conquer these areas! My program helps student create a blueprint with guidance from me along the way!
