How to you keep a student from always reporting to class late?

I have found that when my students feel that I really do care about their success, they work harder so that they do not disappoint me. I have never said the word disappoint, but they have expressed it to me." We don't want to let you down"

What the best way to get all students involved?

I do see that there is a very well diversified group in each of the courses that I have taught. I do see many concerns in each class, and also I do see that now, the classes are getting more international (meaning, my students are not just from the US). Culture is a main concern as well as experiences. Respect is high however when it comes to learning about cultures and posts on how hospitality, for instance is in other parts of the world. The adult learner has had experience, yet you will find some have not had experience yet, maybe in a similar or completely different firm, so this may lead to an interesting conversation, and how we may learn from each other. The younger generation has had entry level or perhaps no experience, yet they are shy and may not post the best, yet I think that collectively we all learn, as I do as well from my students. What do we think of all of this?

Like many schools, we struggle at time with motivating students in general, as it pertains to their educational goals, and attendance. At had been my experience that a strict attendance policy is a must! If students are not in class, they cannot be educated. Students are motivated to attend classes as it is directly tied to attendance.

We strive daily to focus on student learning first! This is achieved in several steps. As an administrator our educational institution pays the instructors extra hours above and beyond their class’s instruction to create the environment that promotes one-on-one with student and teacher outside the regular leaning environment. If a school administrator expects a teacher to stay over for “no-charge,” that extra one-on-one tutoring time or counseling time, in most cases will not happen.

We have developed an entire program just dealing with student retention utilizing Department Heads and the Campus Director as the key people to deal one-on-one with retention issues. This is a daily process, and is on-going.

With the ranges of age in our classes, I find it a bit chalenging to reach all students needs right away. I would like imput on how to address this right away with out lossing their interest.

Enthusiastic, compassionate, fair, and caring. Supportive, diligent, and passionate. Finally, they all stressed that they help students believe in themselves.
