When is it time to just create a new team?

Ha! Ruth makes a good point! "If we don't have students, then we won't have a job" This is true and I agree that it is a team effort, but I believe that the majority of the responsibility rests  on the instructors. After all we pass or fail these students. Your thoughts?

Luis I believe you hit the nail on the head when you said "We attribute that success to the fact that the instructors and I keep constant contact with all the students in the program. During the initial orientation I place great emphasis in the relationship between attendance and academic success. We also point out the need of staying in contact with the instructors at all times." I can't emphasize this enough. We (as instructors) must interact and get to know our students. This is the key for retention in my opinion. Your thoughts?
