Student Success Plans as a Proactive, Collaborative Gatekeeping Strategy

Abstract

Translate Article

This chapter will describe a proactive, collaborative student success plan that can be used as a trauma-informed gatekeeping strategy with counseling students. Its purpose is to guide students onto a path to success during their program, to avoid unanticipated interference with success as they progress through the program, and to informally address student issues prior to formal remediation procedures. The student success plan builds upon student strengths and identifies support resources prior to a student issue becoming a problem that could lead to formal remediation or program dismissal.
