Student Success Curriculum

Ready to be easily integrated at your school.

The Student Success Curriculum was developed by ABMP to make it easy for schools to incorporate a preparatory workshop for students. Massage schools are recognizing that some students lack the basic skills they need to reach their academic and professional goals. Like colleges across the country, many massage schools are requiring students to take a pre-massage school workshop on study skills, goal setting, time-management, understanding diversity, practicing sensitivity and tolerance for classmates, learning styles, and test-taking skills. Schools offer these topics in stand-alone workshops or as part of orientation. Such programs have been shown at the first year college level to decrease student attrition and improve overall grade point average.

The Student Success Curriculum is designed to work in an integrated manner with online ABMP student membership materials such as the Student Guides.

Each topic link below includes a Teacher Guide, Student Guide, PowerPoint presentation and correlating worksheets. The Student Success Curriculum Introduction offers suggestions for its use. These unique tools can be used to decrease attrition and improve student grades at your school.

If you need support implementing a student success workshop or using these tools in your orientation, contact your school liaison for one-on-one support.
