Once at-risk students are identified, the focus shifts to coaching them out of the at-risk category. In some cases, this can be accomplished through strategic, customized electronic communication - a function of the technology portion of the Hobsons Student Retention Solution. In more extreme cases, at-risk students may require one-on-one coaching or specific instructions in targeted areas such as access to academic resources, time management, organization and more.
Hobsons Achievement Coaches are assigned to only students who are most at-risk and require the high-touch approach. Hobsons will help these students identify their own personal strengths and weakness and determine both short and long-term goals. Additionally, the Achievement Coaches will check in weekly (or more often if necessary) to check progress and continue to work with the student until they reach their achievement goals.
