Improvement

great learning experience, and it will help me improve.

Retention

I learned how important it is to make your students feel like they have everything they need to succeed and to make sure they know we are here to help them .

action plans

This session was very informative and I plan on sharing what I've learned with my team, as well as implement new strategies to have every team member connect more with our students.

Best practice

When I come to the school every day, I make sure to greet everyone personally and touch bases with students that I know where having difficulties.  I find it does make a difference and it opens the line of communication for students to feel more comfortable in asking for advice.

Seeing Students as Customers

There were many good points brought out but if I had to pick one it would be seeing students as customers.  Frequently organizations become about the organization and lose sight of the student. Seeing the students as customers and keeping them at the center of decisions will help focus the entire organization on serving and meeting the needs of the student and it is hard to go wrong doing that.

The Course Reenforced What I Have Observed

From "marketing" to prospective students, to the registration process, to the classroom and ultimately to graduation I have observed gaps where the student is uniformed and left to navigate through the education process by themselves, which often leads to student drops. This module presented many key points to help students reach their goal that I will follow.

My Best Practices

My experience and success with teaching meant that I had to be a mentor, a facilitator, a cheerleader, a holder of high standards, and sometimes even a friend. It was always about building a learning bond between the instructor and the learner so that the I can help them learn.

Knowledge is useless until we use the knowledge

I will be more proactive in reaching out to current and especily new students to make them feel relax and comfortable enough to share their problems so I am able to solve them earlier. This course is very helpful for my job requierments. Thank you very much..
