The challenges of virtual learning are aplenty.
Disparities in access to technology, uneven engagement, and inconsistent attendance affect classes broadly, but these barriers can also exacerbate a student’s learning disability and further widen the gap to proficiency.
Virtual learning became the norm for much of 2020, and for some k-12 schools, fully virtual or hybrid classrooms have continued. And while aspects like internet connectivity have improved, the inherent challenges of both teaching and learning virtually remain.
Stillman College students are learning firsthand the challenges k-12 teachers and students face in a virtual learning environment. Through the Greene County Peer Tutoring Program, Stillman students provide virtual after-school tutoring to students each week.

Faculty, staff encouraged to participate in Stillman's Stop Out program, iGrad |
|
"Stop Out" refers to students who were previously enrolled but, for one reason or another, withdrew from the college and never returned. Stillman College is eager to reconnect with those students to get them re-enrolled.
Faculty and staff can aid in this process. If you know of anyone who has stopped out, engage them and ask if they’re willing to speak with someone on campus about re-enrolling. With our increased amount of online courses available, it’s possible for students to complete degrees remotely. And, we can accommodate anyone by providing courses at affordable prices.
Our Stop Out program is supported by the U.S. Department of Education's Project Success program, which provides assistance to Stillman in contacting students via email and phone calls, as well as marketing materials. The College is keen for its faculty an staff to support these efforts and help improve our retention rate.
For more questions about Stillman's Stop Out program, email Claudette Smith, Stillman bursar.
