I learned how orientation can be a key tool for student success and retention. By making students aware of the various resources available to them right from the start of a program, they can utilize these early on and have the greatest chance at success.
Mentoring plays a big role in helping students be sucessful. if they have one they can come to you to help them talk about issues or successes they have had. It helps them feel more connected to the school
Mentoring is a key aspect of student retention. Mentoring is a great way of creating a support system for a student when he or she is experiencing a problem or is in need of more attention. Being a warm and approachable person can help students look for your guidance and increase student retention.
Mentoring is a very important aspect to the students success. I plan to be approachable and bring my experience to the student. Also, being the student's "go-to" person whenever they are struggling and thinking of dropping out. An effective mentor is the key to the students development throughout the program.
Mentoring and orientation go hand and hand. Having a strong orientation with plenty of resources available will help lead to a higher success rate in students if they know they have the tools and resources to fall back on if they are in need of help. By offering a mentoring program, it will put the student more at ease by talking with a peer essentially instead of an instructor since usually the mentor has been in their shoes not too long before.
I intend to apply this by offering the mentoring program during orientation, that way new students are introduced to the mentors early and know that they are there to help that way if they do need the help down the line they know who they can go to.
I learned tha mentoring is important to the success of the student. And that there are a variety of ways to mentor students. I plan to ask for volunteers and assign them to do mentoring.
