It seems that the students in the hallways, classroom or any where else on campus are influenced by my performance, my attitude, and professionalism. I seem to go through life thinking about my own daily issues and sometimes forget about the needs of the students. They are under alot of stress trying to learn the material we have to deliver and sustain their family and personal needs as well. It makes me feel good to be a sounding board for them and sometimes guide their thinking prosses to show value in what they are dooing. Teaching and mentoring go beyond the job. Our mission statement of changing one life at a time now means a lot more to me now.

look for changes in the student the once active student turning into the detached student is a sign that something is going on. Be attentive to the student and be willing to halp

listen and help if you can... if you cant help find out who can

sometimes stress of the education can get to a student who is feelinf over whelmed. take the time to listen to the student just talking things out with someone helps

everyone in the organization has a resoncible part in student retention. seeing the warning signs of a possible student wanting to stop thier education can be difficult

HOW DO I MAKE SURE I NEVER CROSS THE LINE BETWEEN UNDERSTANDING AND ENABLING?

WHAT IS THE BEST CORSE OF ACTION IF WE HAVE A STUDENT WHO HAS LOST THERE MOTIVATION DUE TO PERSONAL ISSUES.

HOW BEST DO WE BALANCE RELAXED ENVIRONMENT WITH STILL A FEELING OF STRUCTURE

HOW DO WE MOTIVATE THE STUDENT TO STAY IF THEY FEEL AS IF THEY WERE SOLD A DIFFERENT PROGRAM THAN WHAT IT TRUELY IS.EXAMPLE= LESS PAY

I have seen that students who have perfect attendance do not drop out. Those students that miss time and get behind the rest of the class tend to drop out more often.

remember we were nervous the first week, make them feel at home

school's success is not always determined by the instructors themselve or the methods they use but often how the students interact and deliver what they've learned. the same way retention success is not always determined by the instructor and his practices but by how well the students really understand the consequences of noncompliance. in short communication should be your best tool

How can an admissions rep, program director's attitude change a student's vision and goals?

I try to make the learning environment stress free. All work by students gets done, but we listen to the radio, and enjoy our work. Sharing humerous stories I have seen in the industry help keep lectures interesting. Scott H.

Why is education consider a way of changing lives? How can we present this to students to make them understand the importance of education?

How can you change an attitude, habit and beliefs of a student who comes from a broken family, none of the members went to college stay on track?

What do you do and how can you make a student who originally is the only one in the family to go to college, about to graduate and drops out saying "it's not for me"?

Just talk to them when they seem distant or preoccupied

it take along time to be good enough to work with students to find out what is causing their problem(s),and come with a solution. always seek help if cannot solve the problem, others may have a solution.
