I have learned about the importance of alliances for retention. Students need to feel a sense of belonging both inside and outside of the classroom. I was surprised by the degree to which belonging factored into retention rates. I intend to work on getting better at responding to emails. Since this is one of my three jobs, I find that I often neglect my emails
I have learned that alliances with personnel are important because we can learn from our peers as well. It’s important for students to see personnel engaging and working as a team. Encouraging students to achieve their goals, mentoring, and leading by example is the key to success.
Retention and engagement are greatly impacted by campus culture and having true meaningful alliances.
This content was very relatable, and I like how it was a blueprint and gave examples of how I could achieve having a better relationship with my students
There are many factors in which may affect the student retention. Whether it's from individual, external, and or institutional factors. It is also important to create an encouraging and supportive environment for students.
It is important for students to have favorable contact with instructors, administration and other students to feel welcome and engaged.
The best way to hold students accountable is to be willing to communicate honestly with them. The students should look to us for guidance in rights and wrongs as we learn together to help foster the beauty in our community of diversity.
I can create a trusting mutual respectful relationship with the student to help them feel confident and supported.
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.
