About me

SUMMARY

As a former Campus Director, I am now the president and founder of Retention Specialist Today, LLC. The hallmark of my career was reaching an annual retention rate of 97% in the state of Nevada. In over 35 years in the field of education spent the last 15 years in postsecondary education. I have held the positions of Campus Director, Director of Education, Student Services, and Director of Career Services as well as a Corporate Education Coordinator assisting with compliance. These positions covered California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Utah. I opened up three career college campuses in the states of Arizona and Nevada. This experience has allowed me to work in accordance with the four major accreditation agencies: ACICS, ACCET, ACCSC, and ABHES.

Retention Specialist Today offers workshops on retention techniques for the classroom and the vocational school campus. The website www.retetntionspecialisttoday.info offers more details on the workshops that are offered.

Kirk, Absolutely, you understand that students learn from each other. You could also expand your assignments with some reality of their outside world. Teaching students to assimilate in their new community. Try incorporating manners, ordering food at a restaurant/fast food and inter acting with everyday life encounters. You could see their confidence improve. Arlene Muller
