Questions to consider:

1) How can college professors get faculty training that is specifically geared to helping the at-risk entering college student?

2) How can college professors get coaching skills to skillfully question, engage and inspire the apathetic or unprepared learner?

3) How can colleges collaborate more effectively with their feeder high schools to
set standards and measurements to turn this situation around?
