How to recognize the working learner
Share the document below (pages 2 and 3 only) with your working learners to understand how, when, and by whom your working learners like to be recognized and shown appreciation. Recognizing working learners on a college campus is crucial as it validates their dedication to academic and professional pursuits. It fosters a supportive environment, acknowledging their multifaceted commitments and inspiring a sense of achievement. This recognition not only boosts morale but also reinforces the integral role of working learners in the campus community, promoting a culture that values their contributions and strives for their holistic success.
Have your working learners fill out the following worksheet at your convenience (your working learners could fill this out when they are first hired on but can update it throughout the academic year - such as at the end of the semester, after completing a project, or upon reaching a significant milestone). It’s ideal to align the recognition with specific accomplishments to ensure the recognition is timely and meaningful.
