It is so important to have staff that care for the students to succeed and to reach their career goals. Staff needs to be trained to better provide the services the school needs to implement. There are so many resources that can be used to learn on how to better serve students such as surveys, work shops, exit interviews.
Having the right people for each job is the first step in providing exemplary student service. Hire enthusiastic, caring people who have the student's as their main objective. No matter how sophisticated an institution's systems may be, it is the people who make them work.
I think the most important point emphasized in this lesson is that you can attempt to implement whatever kind of improvements/services you want, but if you do not follow through with these initiatives they will not serve the institution in the long run.
it is important to carry over the principles of retention to faculty and staff
I am really proud of our faculty that share the joy of our career on a daily basis.
Creating a strong school culture is vital in a retention program. That culture must include the staff as well as the students. Well trained, attentive, and well-informed staff will make all the difference. If the staff are well trained in the communication tools, evaluation tools, student programs, and student success programs at their school they will be able to better apply them to helping the students they work with.
The institution must have a clear plan to follow and with those responsible , so that the student can resort to it when necessary or the person who detects any alert can direct the student to seek this help.
It’s important to provide as much resources as possible to keep students on right track.
We must support our students. Students need to be engaged . The staff and faculty needs to be the wind at there back, pushing them towards success.
Student success is the key and it is the duty of each and every department. The school must provide all the learning resources the student need to ensure their success. The success of the institution is measured by the number of students who're passing the classes.
I like the idea of providing seminars. I think it would be an interesting way to engage outlying students.
retention and care are directly linked, as much as the feeling of belonging.
This module made me wonder how commuter students fit into the role of student engagement.
Allowing students to communicate and voice their concerns to staff can help push the students to success in their program.
Keeping students engaged is great for retention. we must do our best to keep them engaged.
Students who decide to attend a career college often miss out on the tradtional college experience. Career college should look for ways to include student life activitiesto give them that experience. The sense of school pride will help rentention efforts.
It's important to know the main factors that lead to students dropping out. These stressors can be worked on (by clubs/systems) and improved to help retention
A multifaceted approach needs to be used to engage and support students
Everyone in the institution must understand that student success is the primary measure of institutional success.
