Each year millions of academically capable students drop out of college for non-financial reasons. It is a troubling problem that highlights the need for students to be more resilient, prepared, and effective at reaching their goals. How can students position themselves to succeed in this increasingly demanding, changing, and competitive world? One way is to understand and practice the basic behaviors necessary to achieve goals. The second edition of "Self-Management: Understanding, Communicating, and Assessing, Behavioral Competency" offers an innovative approach to student success, which focuses on improving student behavior. Behaviors communicate a great deal. Because certain behaviors lead to better academic performance than others, it is essential that students learn about the relationship between behavior and academic performance. The main purpose of this book is to help students achieve their goals by clarifying the behaviors that they alone are responsible for, and showing how these behaviors lead to success. This book introduces a comprehensive self-management model to help students understand and assess their own behavioral decision-making. With this model, the author shows how behavior can affect not only academic success, but also life after graduation. The book provides a practical framework, “how to” exercises, a new behavioral observation measurement system, self-tests, and a proven behavioral change methodology for individuals, families, and schools seeking to establish, assess, and improve behavioral performance. College faculty and advisors that teach student development, management, and student success courses should not be without this invaluable training resource. Instructor’s resources include PowerPoint presentations, and test banks for every unit. Professor Roma can be reached at romag@sunybroome.edu.
