That students who come to secondary schools can often be the first of their family. They do not have any role models and while they are struggling outside of school it may be hard for them to seek help from their family. Student retention is a job for everyone at the school. Reaching out to students when they are seen struggling is the first step. When students decide to withdraw it is often difficult for them to do to admit that they cannot make it at that time.
Retention is not the responsibility of a single department—it's a campus-wide effort. Understanding the underlying reasons students withdraw from school, and using appropriate formulas and diverse practices to analyze these factors, greatly aids in improving retention.

It is essential for all support staff to actively observe students for early warning signs of disengagement or difficulties. By collaborating effectively, they can establish a comprehensive support system that addresses these issues. Implementing timely interventions is crucial, as it empowers students and enhances their chances of success in their educational journeys.
Retention is more than just about retaining a certain number of students. There are many dynamics that go into the success of a program and the success of maintaining students. It is important to track academic cohorts to be able to identify trends and to help you to identify different problem areas. Once these problem areas have been identified, you can develop a strong plan of action.
To improve retention rate, a comprehensive assessment of everything that impact the student's academic performance must be performed and targeted interventions must be initiated to ensure the student completes the term successfully.
Retention has been, and always will be, everyone's responsibility. However, depending on the institution you are in, that may not always be the case. Retention is often more front-loaded than back-loaded. The institution doesn't only need to have the right people in the right place at the right time—it also needs to ensure that its systems are being upgraded to meet current demands. If the systems are outdated, students will notice. As stated, students are more astute shoppers and have higher expectations.
In addition, the institution must regularly review its workflows, policies, and procedures to ensure students are receiving accurate information and getting what they need.
Retention is the by product of doing the right thing in the right way for students. It's an important initiative for everyone on campus because many students who are not retained, could have been retained with the correct efforts and outreach.
What stood out to me was retention is the student experience from the first interaction with the school to the last. Every person who interacts with the student, has an impact on the student's decision to continue with the program or to leave.
I liked the statement of retention being a by-product of doing things the right way: having the right people in the right place at the right time. Since attrition is something that can be predicted and prevented (according to the ACT facts), we can identify who the right people are to interact with the students, and when it would be most valuable.
im willing to help with students attendance the best I can.
Comment on Daniela Guerra's post: I agree it all is up to the student
To administrator improved retention means more tuition dollars to spend for salaries, operating expenses, capital equipment, and a better bottom line. To the student services department, it means increased and improved support services while trying to develop student loyalty to the institution. To admissions, it means recruiting students who are well suited to the institution and who have a high probability of succeeding while also meeting the start goal. improved retention starts with student expectations and student satisfaction.
I appreciated the fact vs. myth breakdown.
Retention is the responsibility of everyone.
Retention is the responsibility of everyone at any Institution. It must be a part of the culture to strive for student success and instilled into each member of the institution. "Retention is the by-product of doing the right things the right way, of having the right people in the right place at the right time"
The 3 facts from ACT stood out for me, especially the statement that attrition can be predicted and prevented. In my classes, there is a pattern of the time in the semester when some students seem to give up. Something that I can do is to be more mindful of this period and help students find resources that can assist them.
Retention and attrition for every institution is determined by the culture, commitment and accountability of all departments and personnel within the institution as a whole. As an employee of any school, that person is accountable for allowing and promoting a healthy learning environment.
