This course was very helpful in regards to student retention. This has been an area of concern in my school recently. We have been losing more students lately. After doing this course, I was made re-aware of some of the things I need to make sure I implement in my classoom. I have been teaching at my current school for three years and it is easy to fall into a routine. When this happens, though, you may seem less enthusiastic about the content of what you're teaching. I need to really focus on staying upbeat and positive, and make the students excited to be here and learn new things.
