Safety is key for students to grow

We must support our students

Important to listen to your students

Several factors impact students retention and decision to stay in school. It is important that the school provides a culture of understanding of the needs of the students on and off campus, such as carpooling, bus passes counseling etc...It takes a village to create an environment of success.

It is important to connect with students, listen to them and provide resources outside of the classroom setting. This creates trust and understanding that they and their feelings matter and are relevant. Thereby helping with retention.

Attrition begins with the instructor and involves the chain of command within the school to reassure/reinforce the students importance and future in their education. 

The responsibility of student retention is all employees' duty n responsibility. The student's future and education are first and foremost, however their tuition pays the bills.

I learned that its all about numbers. And, we all have to do are part at our level to encourage students to complete their commitment to success. We need to inspire them in the classroom and hold their hand in financial aid and student services.
