Destination Success is an academic recovery textbook written for the student that is on academic probation or perhaps has been readmitted after a dismissal or poor academic performance. Either way, they have some work to do to understand how they got to their current situation and to develop the skills they need to become academically successful. Beginning with guiding students to critically self-reflect on the choices and circumstances that led them to their current situation, Destination Success then pushes students to assess their locus of control and how they will maintain their motivation and set goals while creating a better path forward.
Chapters focus on:
- time management.
- reading and critical thinking.
- learning strategies.
- test taking skills.
- The text is rounded out with two chapters on major and career decision-making and health and wellness.
Destination Success features:
- perforated pages with numerous activities and assessments to check for understanding.
- checkpoints for active reflection while reading.
- a quiz at the end of each chapter for students to self-assess their understanding of key concepts.
