LBCC Faculty Member - Lisa Hoogesteger, Advising Center - joins me to discuss tips and strategies for supporting students who experience stress and distress during the academic term. We explore the needs of diverse learners and identify barriers that may arise. Lisa talks about how the advising center can provide services and support for both faculty and students. We examine various scenarios and offer techniques to address real classroom situations. Faculty tips include building in flexibility, effective communication, setting boundaries (with compassion), clarifying expectations, and holding students accountable.
