The focus of this student success text is academic adjustment. Social-emotional learning and personal development issues are emphasized as students focus on developing habits of mind, ‘claiming an education’ and taking responsibility for one’s own education.   The Habits of Mind for College Success addresses the attitudinal variables, behavioral skill sets, and personality traits that affect college achievement like locus of control, how one conceives of intelligence, active learning, and intellectual curiosity in relation to specific academic-related behaviors such as executive functioning skills, behavior management, text annotation, and active reading and listening. At its core, this text is based on the psychology of adjustment. Students are pushed to consider how each mindset, perception, and attitude connects with their skill sets, and how one influences the other. The text encourages students to use this insight to make the necessary adjustments to their new role as college students. It offers an acute awareness of first-year student needs, an intellectual approach, and a tight framework. It is primarily focused on the development of college adjustment issues and metacognitive strategies as they naturally unfold during the first year. This text is written in a challenging yet accessible way for a wide variety of learners. This revision covers emerging technologies, broadens its audience, & more. Laurie L.
