This is a very important subject. I am excited to have a better understanding of retention, I didnt have such a clear understanding and now I do. I am anxious to attend our weekly meeting.

I felt the way the module introduced Retention, I felt we had to make the numbers. I now have a better understanding of how retention works and how to utilize our facility's tools. I am excited to go to our weekly retention meeting and and discuss some of the issues addressed in this module/training.

How important is it for late enrollments to get orientation information?

Students really care how qualified Faculty are.

Did we follow those steps during our orientation day talking about our History , size , Accreditation , Uniqueness and Results?

Students most of the time expect that their Instructors will be qualified and knowledgeable in their content area. We understand that, some time the instructor can be qualified but what will happen if they do not prepare the class.? As a faculty member how you can handle that case.

the student service need to mentor student as many times needed

every one need to be involved on our students activities to help have a better retention

Can all students be in the same orientation even if they are enrolling for different programs.

THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME FOT A PROSPECT IS AT THEIR ADMISSIONS APPT

I used to work for retail and we had to score 85% or above on the mystery shop. If you fail a mystery shop three times in a row, you will get fired. I thought you guys might be interested so I just wanted to share this.

Internal customers are the backbone of an organization. Without a good and effective internal supports an organization will not succeed. There has to be a link that connects all departments in an organization together. Members of different departments need to communicate to each other to have an understanding of what is happening in each department. This is why knowing your co-workers is very important.

Working for an institution, getting to know your students is the most important thing. If you get to know your students, they will feel more comfortable talking to you about everything. I usually call my students or shoot them an email asking how they doing in classes and if they need help with anything.

Many employees usually go above and beyond to help out a customer and some of them get recognized for their customer service and get reward. Does rewarding an employee puts pressure on other employees to make them feel like they are inferior to that particular employee?

We've made a considerable effort at our school to change the focus of retention efforts from reactive to proactive. If a student drops out in the 3rd class, it's likely not due to the 3rd class, but to what happened long before. We seek to have our students so incredibly engaged in their program that they can't possibly imagine not persisting to the next class. Our faculty play a huge part in that effort. By positioning our best, most engaging faculty in the early classes, we create a culture of excitement and belonging that assists with retention efforts. I view our best instructors as those who can "edutain" meaning both educate and entertain to the point of making the hard work of learning fun as well as informative.

People usually don't focus on retention until the student has already been acclimated and a issue arises. The importance of having retention-related activities during orientation is crucial. Our orientation incorporates bonding activities like bingo (getting to know each other), guess the number of candies in a jar (with your group)and social time when we serve small snacks. However, we lack the continuation of getting students oriented. We need to get out of the mind-set that orientation is just a one day event/program.

At times providing a positive model and coaching a student toward improving results may overlap an "enabling" mentality. Consistency of delivery throughout a curriculum should build trust and fairness into the structure. Do you believe it is necessary at times to address patterns in behavior? What is the best method if doing so?

Can you discuss methods of affecting student outcomes for students that may have high expectations of curriculum and short-term career advancement while delivering inconsistent results?

Besides surrounding each negative people with positive ones, what else can we do? Is there a visual way that we can get students to develop a positive attitude?

Why is it so important to instill a positive attitude in your class? A recent study showed that happiness allows for better learing outcomes. Do you agree?
