It is understadable that not every student will complete their course or field of study but if you can tell the diffrence between the 2 attrition that happen we can combate the issues early to ensure that we retain more students in the future. The way I would apply this is to catch any issue early and head on and come up with the proper game plan to retain the students.
I have learned that our students have evolved and their expectations are greater. We now need to pay attention to them and their needs. Most of all retention is a must for anyone of us to benefit, either student or employee.
I think every encounter with each student truly does impact retention.
I appreciate the definition: "Retention is the by-product of doing the right things the right way, of having the right people in the right place at the right time".
Just like safety, retention is everyone's responsibility. Getting students is easy, keeping them is the hard part. Unless everyone at all levels in the school do their part, the school will probably fail, and we can't blame admissions for that.
Retention really is a campus effort. It's best to understand the student, the orientation, the expectations, and goals. Being proactive can help
Everyone in the organization need to put the Grain of sand.
Retention is the by-product of doing the right things the right way, of having the right people in the right place at the right time.
Although often retention efforts are "housed" in one particular place, retention is the the job of all. Of course this means it is quick to fall through the cracks. Creating a culture is different than assigning tasks to be fulfilled. Too often lists are created to "check off" without listening to the needs that are present.
I have learned to not think of retention as a goal but to make every interaction count and by doing the right things the right way every day and having the right people in the right place at the right time is where the focus should be while providing high-level customer service to everyone.
I've learned keeping in touch with students especially the high risk students by weekly check ins. Also putting myself out there on campus and engaging with students while passing constantly reminding them I'm here to help.
Retention is the responsibility of everyone and must be a part of the culture
Retention is everyone's responsibility.
Retention is effort that has to be made by every one on campus. It must be made my all faculty and staff to help students continue their education.
Retention of students doesn't have to be accepted as a "natural process"?
Retention has often been overlooked. Being able to retain students is vital tyo the success of any program.
Retention is just not one departments responsibility its all staff, faculty and adminsitration
Retention and Attrition are a group effort. There are multiple factors that impact the rate of retention and some of which are out of the control of the teacher or the facility.
Retention is everyone's job. Rather than putting all focus on new students, find out why current students are withdrawing from the institution.
I am the Director of General Education. On a weekly basis, I contact the students who have had a bad week of grades. My instructors do as well. We are always asking what we can do to help. We have been more flexible because of covid, but as online classes, we try to work on the skills they need to succeed.
