Feedback from taking this class on retention

This class is a reminder that as instructors we have a great deal of responsibility to our students. Positive attitudes and consistent fedback are vitally important to our students, especially those that are having difficulties. Continued involvement and encouragement as well as learning new approaches (learning from our mistakes), will help each of us to have better retention rates. Thank you for the insight during this course.

Team Approach

The anticipation and excitement on day one should be approached by every staff member, all departments. Credibility is important but continued involvement is equally important.

First Class Day

I believe that setting the tone and identifying expectations on day one is vitally important. Just as important, I allow time to ask each student to share their expectations, from both myself as well as their fellow studebts. This I believe helps to keep everyone on the same page as well as giving the instructor information to individualise their actions for the term.

Questions in classrooms

I think questions during class are as important for the instructor as they are for the student. They are a great form of communication as well as validation of the material being covered.It also is a reminder to be cognizant of the differing learning styles present in each classroom.

Developing student rapport.

The more open minded the instructor, the more opportunities the instructor has to establish a better rapport with each student.
