Alternative Route Teacher Certification Program is Ready to Launch!
The Higher Learning Commission approved the Schoolcraft College Alternative
Route Teacher Certification (ARC) program, which will launch in May.
Schoolcraft is the first and only community college in the state to offer an
ARC program.
ARC allows candidates holding a minimum of a bachelor’s degree
and at least a 3.0 post-secondary GPA to pursue an accelerated
path to teaching certification at either the elementary or secondary level. Prospective
students must also take and pass the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification Basic Skills
test, as well as a subject-area test for the grade level and content area they wish to
teach. In addition, those admitted to the ARC program will be recommended
for their Interim Teaching Certificate, allowing them to be employed in a
secondary or elementary classroom while completing the program at

would make excellent PALs, Tutors, or Writing Fellows,
please refer them to the LAC. It’s a great way for students to
deepen their knowledge base regarding course content, while earning
money and helping others to succeed. It enhances their transferability
to universities. Many universities hire our Writing Fellows, tutors, and
PALs (hybrid of Supplemental Instruction) because they are all CRLA (College
Reading and Learning Association) certified. This means that they have received
rigorous training. However, the LAC won’t hire students for these positions without your
recommendations.

QUESTION?
What has eight syllables and supports
student success? See answer below.
by Charlotte O’Connor
Though the title may sound complicated, the
job function is easy to understand:
A faculty facilitator works with students to
improve learning.
As a faculty facilitator, I assist students
with any learning difficulties that could impede academic success. If the eight-syllable
title is too much to remember, just think of
me as a Learning Specialist—that’s only
five syllables!
Specific areas in which I provide help
include:
• time management
• textbook reading
• study strategies
• note taking
• test preparation and test taking
• strategies to minimize test anxiety
In addition, I work extensively with students preparing for
entrance exams such as TEAS (for nursing school) and MTTC
Professional Readiness (for education school).
When you encounter students who are struggling academically – or even those who want to take their academic game
up a notch – please encourage them to contact the LAC for an
appointment with me. If you’d like me to visit your classroom
to discuss my services, please contact me at extension 5297 or
[email protected].
Let’s all work together to make Winter 2015 an academic
success!

Mentoring
Program
by Charlotte O’Connor
The First-Year Student Mentoring Program (FYMP) is

first-year students with staff
or faculty mentors. Research

engaged and to experience a

smooth transition from high
school to college. (Levine and
Nidiffer 1996).
Schoolcraft’s faculty/staff
response to this program has
been very positive. However,
we have met with challenges
in student response to our
invitations to participate. We
are open to your suggestions
as to strategies to encourage
students to recognize the
many benefits of the mentor/
mentee experience.
Looking ahead, we are
planning to offer a scholar-

the Student Athlete Support
System (SASS) Coordinator.
In the past, Ryan has

This experience

him in a

As the SASS Coordinator,
Ryan will assist student-athletes by providing strategies
for academic success, including time management, study
skills, and ways to balance
the demands in the classroom with those on the court
or playing field. He will work
closely with both faculty
and students to ensure that
SASS continues to improve

and athletic eligibility.

participants in the next
academic year. Details are
still being worked out, but we
hope the opportunity to win
a scholarship will encourage
greater student participation
in FYMP.
Please direct any students who you think may
be good candidates for the
FYMP to stop by my office
(Room 131) in the Bradner
Library or to contact me at

for more information.

sources by introducing them
to books, e-books, library

Be Our Guest!
by Sherrye Bailey & Marcia Hess
Every semester the Radcliff
Learning Assistance Center works to ensure that the
students of Schoolcraft College
receive a good academic foundation and start towards new or
additional careers in learning.
This semester our theme is
“Be our Guest.”
Our staff and
tutors are incorporating the
Disney philosophy of working
with the public
to integrate additional customer
service into our interactions
with students and instructors.
The Radcliff Learning Assistance Center focus is assisting
students and faculty in achieving student success. One of our
greatest resources is our tutors.
Tutors work with a variety of
students to complement their instructor’s curriculum, providing
support for both the student and
the teacher. They provide experience and knowledge-based
information about the subjects
they tutor, while also acting as
a sounding board for students
who are either struggling or simply need reassurance that they
are indeed on the right track.
The Radcliff LAC provides
walk-in tutoring and/or tutoring
by appointment. Our current
subjects include: Biology,
COMA, CIS, EMT, English,
HIT, Psychology, Math to 119,
and several others.
Returning tutors include
Alexander Williams, Rebecca
Black, Marion Goff, Anthony
Cerroni and Eric Schrenk. We
welcome one new tutor, Elijah
Grimm.
The Radcliff
LAC provides
testing services.
These services
are available
to instructors
and students.
Instructors may leave test(s)
in the faculty room RC 160, in
the RC LAC test box, or drop
them off in our office at their
convenience. Should a student
miss a test, they must contact
their instructor. If an instructor
leaves a test in our office, the
student is then welcome to
come during our open hours to
complete their test, which will
then be returned or held for the
instructor, according to test card
instructions.
We are currently doing our
class visitations. The RC-LAC
would be happy to assist any
other instructors in beginning
a cooperative arrangement with
his/her class.
We look forward to assisting
you. Contact the RC–LAC at
734-462-4400 ext. 6021.

Winter JumpStart Math Workshops!
One hundred nine students attended one
or more 2-hour workshops, covering the math
study and topic skills that students need to
know going in to their math class. 100% of students attending JumpStart rated it as valuable or
very valuable AND all of them said they would
recommend JumpStart to other math students!
Note: Since implementing student emails,
JumpStart attendance has been cut in half.
My question: What can the LAC do to get
JumpStart information out to students more
effectively?
CRLA—International Tutor Program Certification
In addition to the 7-hour tutor training/orien-
tation held January 9, new tutors were invited to
enhance their training and attend the JumpStart
1500, 2000 & 4000 workshops! To date, 44 LAC
tutors have earned Tutor Certification, including the following tutors earning their CRLA-International Tutor Program Certification in fall

Math Support Services
My job, as the LAC’s Math Learning Support
Specialist, is to help math students succeed and
to support Schoolcraft faculty and staff in their
efforts. I meet with students regarding math
study skills, math and test anxiety, and students
needing coaching, motivation, or just a little
extra help. Students can stop by my office (in the
LAC) or call to make an appointment. I’m here
to help: M-TH 9a-3p.

The Mathematics of
Finance and the Fallacy of
“Normality”
Presenter: Richard A. Consul,
Chartered Financial Analyst and
Senior Portfolio Manager
The assumption that returns
from financial markets obey a
bell-shaped normal distribution
underlies many financial analyses.
But over the past five decades,
market outcomes have often
been far more fat-tailed than
most models assume. This
presentation will discuss the
assumption of normality in
financial modeling and how
market practitioners modify their
models to account for statistically
improbable outcomes.
