The FYLI Toolkit is a collection of resources, strategies, ideas and helpful tips that you can use in your courses to address the key FYLI outcomes. The Toolkit material comes from the contributions and experiences of all of us at NAU.

Tools in this area are geared toward helping incoming students bridge the gap between high school or their previous lives and their new lives as college students.

Click on each of the following questions to find tools which will help provide answers:

• To what degree does your course explicitly address critical practices such as time management and study skills? In what ways does your course offer a realistic understanding of the commitment (time, effort) that is needed to succeed?

• Does your course address how to access class materials, class linked academic support, and other academic support programs?

• Challenging and rigorous work: In what ways does your course require that students invest effort from the start? How does your course maximize student time on task?

• In what ways does your course intentionally scaffold students up from a novice to an experienced learner?
