Personal Experiences can help with retention and give students hope when they feel hopeless.Mny may feel that because an instructor is working and or accomplished that they cannot sympathize.But students can find reason to keep working hard and finish school.

I feel that using different teaching styles helps you to gain and maintain student focus.I feel that giving students exposur to various ways of learning keeps them challenged yet excited.

Whenever I have a student who is often late or upset and disorganized I usually pull them aside and offer assistance including tutoring and remind them of other social resources our college offers.

I try to engag students and elp them to develop an overall educational purpose by having them o write a brief essay on why they came to the school.In addition I ask them develop a 5 year plan.

it is important to understand the difference between GED holders and high school graduates because it is possible to have a separate knowledge base.

student often feel more comfortable asking questions when a entire discussion is taking place.

identifying learning styles of student can also assist in educational accomodation for impaired students.
