Attention Equals Retention

Thanks, Shane. It is important that these contacts be set in a positive atmosphere. We are contacting them to help them solve problems and to make sure that stay caught up in class. Sometimes these calls turn into a "Why weren't you here" inquisition. We definitely don't want that.

Attention Equals Retention

Thanks randy. These little things can help to set a positive mood for students. More important though, is the attention students get in the classrooms and labs. Are there specific things you do to show students they matter while they are in your class?

Developing a High EQ

Dave, I am sure you would agree that EQ is more than just a "what's in it for me?" attitude. What are some of the other attitudes you try to develop in your students?

Prioritizing!

How do you prioritize your goals and tasks?

Time-Wasters

Please provide an example of a personal "time-waster." How have you in the past (or might you in the future) minimize(d) personal time-wasters?

HABE's of Successful Students

Thanks, Renee. These are indeed habits that can lead to success in school. Unfortunately, many students do not have these habits developed when they come to us. What are some of the things you do to help students grow and develop the HABEs that will makew them successful?

Developing a High EQ

Thank you, Miguel. Students often focus on the "rocks in the road" instead of on their goals. The trick is to help them see themselves as successful, capable members of their chosen profession, even if they are not there yet. Usually students can figure out a way to be successful if we ask them the right questions and provide some guidance.
