AT first day I have the students tell me what their weakness is . We can all say what we are great at but everyone has trouble saying their weakness. This way, you can identify everything all at once.

One thing that I have noticed that I do regularly is to ask students for their input on different places to visit. By doing this volunteering and such my students feel a part of the community. However, I feel that keeping students has a lot to do with keeping instructors as well and I find that those that care deeply are the most hurt.

I intervene by having the students fill out questionairs each month for classes

This committee involves our directors of education, a placement officer, an extern coordinator, myself, and a few students. No past graduates are on this committee but that gave me the idea to get in contact with one if I can. We decided where to hold the graduation and are now deciding how to raise funds. We are also discussing how the ceremony will be run etc.

We have emplamented a graduation committee in our school. I have great pride in taking to my students that I am trying to get them to this point and that I care about their success. If they know we are working for them, they are proud as well.
