Student retention is a must for not only the success of students but also for the success of institutions. The more students feel a part of the learning process the more they will be engaged in learning and higher the retention rate will be. This group is for educators who aspire to discuss and master the competencies necessary for exemplary performance and top customer service in a dynamic, rapidly changing education landscape. Group members share best practices, ideas, thoughts, reflections, and resources to help colleagues across the globe improve performance.
In this module, I have gained the understanding of not only being aware of your students but speaking with them to either being a ear to listen or to help guide them with their next steps.
The importance of motivation your students and showing your dedication to them
It is important to keep students interested in coming to class. It is also important to provide a variety of educational learning opportunities
The importance of providing positive feedback, small rewards, and enthusiasm over even the smallest accomplishment.
Taking the time to understand what the student needs in order to succeed and the importance of their perspective
Definitely students will perform better if we can help them be passionate about the subject material. Knowing them and how to tie material to their lives can help with that
Definitely having a variety of learning methods whether video, mnemonics for memorization, group activities, etc is important to keep students from getting bored
In a lot of ways we are entertainers as much as educators. Adult learners can benefit from lighthearted moments and multiple media methods for learning in order to have more approachable course work.
Definitely being sensitive to individual students' needs is something I'm working to improve in my class
Expertise, empathy, enthusiasm and clarity are the four major pillars. great session
