The more we engage learners the more they will be able to understand the material delivered. So is important to assess our learners to be able to find specific tasks to utilize for students. If we can motivate them enough students will surpass the learning curve.

Listening to students and effectivelly communicating with them is essential to find out the needs of the students. By understanding their needs develop goals and plan of actions to ensure students success. Therefore, Advising students and ensuring good communication at the same time will esure increase in students retention.

It's important as educators to understand both academic and non-academic barries to students retention. Increasing students retention is  the goal of our organization. The more we assist the students in a collaborative fashion the more the student will feel cared for and will always want to stay in the organization were they feel individuals care for them.
