I loved learning more about the impact of strong working alliances with students and the reference to the work of Carl Rogers in helping to build rapport, trust, and providing unconditional positive regard to students. I also appreciate the research on how we can help students feel more connected to the institution through regular, quality interactions with us as instructors.
Diverisfy your course content, test knowledge with quizzes, practice with real life scenarios
Digital communication must not replace personal engagement
Hi everyone, in this module I've learned how to increase the effectiveness of cultural responsiveness within the classroom space. The statistics were most helpful and painted a real picture of online vs. in-person learning. I believe in-line with the material that we should emphasize and empower the individual student with equity rather than equality across the board. I will work on applying this in my own classroom by tending to individuals on a face-to-face rather than the class as a whole. An example would be changing coursework depending on each student's weaknesses rather than curriculum.
Comment on Tim Pope's post: Hi Tim, I absolutely agree with you. We are in a new generation of adaptive teaching and learning. It demands that we be culturally responsive.

I could not agree more to your comment! The lack of self motivation in so many of our students is difficult at times. Sometimes I feel thaat we want it more for the student than the student themselves. I have found that many times this perception is due to extranious issues that I am unaware of in the students life. Helping to motivate and encourage these students to achieve their goals can be so rewarding!
Open communciation is the best way to retain students, but also make them feel part of the process.
Reply to Robert Whyte's post: I agree.
Building relationships with students requires many skills as the different genarations of learners have different expectations when it comes to being engaged, feeling that they belong at the university and how they learn, so also considering the culture of the organization weighs heavy on the retention process. Retention is a 360 degree process involving all in the educational setting :-)
The strength of the working alliance positively correlates to adherence to an action plan, increasing the likelihood of positive student outcomes.
I remember being a student and noticing how some instructors didn't seem to care and others who were genuinely interested in your success. Today's students seem to be pulled in all different directions and don't seem to be as focused.
It's all about the relationship you have with the students. Some are more engaged than others, but there should be some way of finding out what makes each student tick.
Despite the many positives of technology in education, we can not forget to teach the students the importance of interpersonal relationships
From my perspective Retention without humanization is dead, it is necessary to create spaces for our students, but that they feel more cared for and less like a number or a registration to pay or that they feel that we need them only for that...!
En este módulo he aprendido de manera concreta como lograr una comunicación real con el estudiante así como la empatía que debemos tener ante ciertas circunstancias como facilitadores, ya que no debemos limitarnos únicamente a trasmitir conocimientos, debiendo fomentar la alinaza que es tan necesaria para lograr los objetivos propuestos
Today I learned that education has been changing, today it is an education mediated by technology. The student, who generally loves contact by electronic means, hopes that his learning will be the best, without the need to physically move to his university, today he works with a good internet connection
Considereo el clima laboral es fundamental para que la transmisión del conocmientos sea eficiente y agradable. Los estudaintes perciben este ambiente atrarvés de la forma de comunicarse de sus maestros. Estas relaciones hace mas eficiente la comunicaicón entre maestros y alumnos, a los cuales hay que involucrarlos en todo las actividades que se realizan dentro de la universidad, y de esta forma construir alianzas que generen una relaciones duradera entre la isntitución y el alumno.
He aprendido la importancis de generar ambientes agradables para que los estudiantes sientan el deseo de ser parte de la institución, que la institución está a su servicio, por lo que se enfoca que brindarle toda la ayuda necesaria para su éxito profesional.
Totalmente de acuerdo conel Dr. Vivas, en muchas organizaciones academicas se tiende confundir el concepto de el servicio al cliente, pero tal como lo estudiamos es brindar un acomoañameinto en todo el proceso de la clases, hasta lograr el objetivo de que se tenga un aprendizaje significativop

Hola Luz, en la parte inicial de su comentario dice "Creo que los estudiantes necesitan sentirse parte de una comunidad". Comparto su comentario porque cualquier persona que no se sienta cómoda en un lugar, lo que hace es irse de allí. Aunque esto todos los sabemos creo que a veces se "nos olvida" esa tarea que todos los instructores estamos llamados a hacer. Este curso nos ha recordado nuestro papel fundamental en la retención de los estudiantes cuando se sienten bien atendidos en nuestra instución educativa.
