As I mentioned at the beginning of this semester, I was initially pretty nervous about beginning work with students on academic probation. I then wrote about how I was becoming more comfortable and confident with the program I facilitate with my probation students. This week, however, has been my best yet for probation meetings. I am actually very excited about how this week has gone!
A handful of students on probation came in this week for their second PASS probation program meeting with me (most of them still have to come, but I was impressed with the number of students who have been in this week). We had a few breakthroughs this week as several of my students talked about (and demonstrated) the progress they've made and the initiative they've taken. I was (am) very excited about their effort and changed attitudes, and I really hope that they keep working with the program to move to good standing.
On the other hand, there are still a few students who have not yet met with me despite the multiple emails explaining the consequences if they don't come discuss the terms of probation with me. Only time will tell at this point whether they will come to do the paperwork, but for now I am thrilled with the students who have been following the program and finding it helpful.
