Instructor's Guide

Complementing the text is a comprehensive Instructor's Guide for Self-management for College Students that can be ordered on-line. We urge anyone who contemplates using the text in an academic setting to purchase the Instructor's Guide . It contains a wealth of information including:

• Key concepts covered in each chapter of the text
• Tips for teaching these concepts
• Classroom activities to help students learn and practice self-management

In addition, course goals and objectives , written in outcomes language, are presented and can be adapted to fit the needs of most instructors. Particularly useful is a teacher's schedule that outlines the material to be presented class by class over a 15-week semester. It can be modified for classes with fewer contact hours.

A full set of transparency masters are available for download. Each captures an idea that may be useful in orchestrating a presentation.

Instructors are welcome to use these materials, many of which are also in the Instructor's Guide , at no charge. Our intention is to continually update the list of transparency masters, expanding it in response to specific user suggestions and requests.

To aid in assessing student learning, the Instructor's Guide contains:

• Sample answers to exercises
• Suggested quiz questions and essays
• Sample analyses of the case studies in each chapter

Professional development workshops tailored to instructors' interests are also offered at reduced rates for those adopting the text for classes. Contact Partridge Hill Publishers for details.

Assessment Tools

At Marist College where the authors of the text teach, a pre-post assessment method is used to measure learning outcomes for a student success self-management course. The self-management scale that was developed assesses the extent to which students have achieved self-management skills in several areas such as personal responsiblity, motivation, time management, study habits, self-esteem, and assertiveness.

Anyone adopting the book for a course may use this scale to assess learning outcomes. For more information, contact Partridge Hill Publishers.
