students don't care to learn from teachers who don't care about them. you need to show them you actually care
How important it is to listen to students concerns. Make them feel respected regardless of their background. Offer them a safe space to learn.
I enjoyed learning about the applied empathy approach while dealing with students by seeing yourself in their shoes.
I've learned that engagement and communication are crucial to create a supportive and connected enviornment for both students and staff.
What's been covered thus far is a great reminder that we are our students and our students are us...in terms of life factors that happen which can throw us a curve ball. Being empathetic to student situations paired with continuous connection will aid in the learner's overall success.
Making connections and establishing availability can be key to the students progress.
I think it is important to have a comfortable Campus Climate for all learning types and I enjoyed the lesson and description of what that entails.
Communication is a huge part of retention and student success.
I learned how important communication, engagement, and strong relationships are to student success. I plan to apply this by creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking help.
I learned that strong relationships, empathy, and a positive classroom environment are key to student success and retention. I will apply this by creating a welcoming classroom, communicating openly, showing empathy, and responding to students needs in a timely manner.
When looking at student retention, it is very important to know that we as an institution play a very big role in those numbers. Maintaining a positive campus climate and developing working alliances with our students will make them feel more welcomed, boost their confidence and allow them to become more acclimated with the institution itself.
The institution's culture is a instrumental why the students stay in school and complete the program.
I have learned so much form this module. The most important part that stood out for me was showing empathy and providing students with encouragement, also having open communication with your students is very important. If your students are going through something and we don't know about it, that student may not put their all into class. So, by providing encouragement can help them accomplish their goals and dreams.
By creating a safe space for them to come and communicate with set outlines with when you will respond so they feel seen and heard. Still treating them with empathy and respect while still being able to have that teacher student boundary
It's important to build professional instructor- student relationships
It's important to build a relationship with the students.
How the whole institution as a whole makes a big difference why the students stay in school. This is based on how the student feel they are welcome and belong to the institution.
Maintaining an approachable and upbeat environment can reduce student anxiety, encourage engagement, and promote open communication. Overall, this positive campus climate benefits students by supporting their learning and success while also fostering strong teamwork, collaboration, and morale among institutional personnel.
I have learned from this module being open and available as a point of contact especially in online training is imperative to student retention. And making ourselves available to answer questions in a 24- 48 hours window allows students to stay engaged in their learning process.
