Keeping track of possibly hundreds of students can be overwhelming, not to mention limiting when it comes to providing help to the students who need it most. You are on the front lines when it comes to offering support, and you need the tools and information to do your job effectively, efficiently, and personally.
Starfish is here to help you prioritize which students need your help first, based on your personal configuration. The system also helps you keep track of your efforts to intervene and close the loop with instructors.
The system also provides you one-click access to a student's full profile and performance history, including flags, admission data, grades (including tests and quizzes as recorded in the learning management system), notes, and referrals. You can also monitor a student's progress through mutually agreed-upon milestones that are maintained within the student folder.
You have a lot on your plate. Starfish is here to help you accomplish your goal of helping students achieve their goals. See other benefits of using Starfish as an advisor.
Calling Advisors:
Share Your Starfish Story!At Starfish, we believe in the power of your work as an academic advisor. To celebrate your successes, we are creating an online forum for you to share a story about a student that stands out in your mind. We call this your "Starfish Story" and we want to hear it. Your story will help inspire your fellow advisors and remind us what it's all about. The forum will be posted in early October. We hope you'll join us.
