It is everyone's responsibility to ensure that the student remains in an institution. Channeling their needs ranges from the administration to the academy.
I think my greatest takeaway from this section is understanding that everyone is responsible for academic retention of our students. We all work together to help the students be successful. In order to keep our program and our organization successful, we must have successful completion of the program by students with few retention issues. We must mentor our students and help them gain the necessary knowledge to continue in the program and not give up.
There are many programs that support student retention. Offering support programs increases student success. Students need to be made aware of the resources in Orientation, but since so much information is given during Orientation, the information students need should be repeated.
Engagement *mic drop*. Keeping the students interested in their future and helping them plan for it. Having resources readily available at all times and a directory that will point them in the right direction. Invest in employees that want to see students succeed.
You must have the right people in the right positions
It's important to hire caring faculty. When they start teaching, the curriculum should allow for active learning including group work.
I have learned that there are many ways to keep students engaged in the learning process.
Faculty and Staff development is also important with the student growth as well. It will be great to see how it may grow and how they go foward.
Communication with our students is an important step in retention. Maintain a open door policy.
believe in student success.
Connecting with students is very important in making them feel welcomed and being able to be open with the staff is a good sign for open communication and retention.
Very infomative information
use all kinds of thing for student to interact
I have learned that there are many resources available for students to be successful and students may not be aware of those resources so an instructor if a student needs any help an instructor can guide them to an appropriate resource.
Creating opportunities for students to develop a connection to other students and staff will be important. Reminding students often to their end goal and why they chose our school in the first place, leads to student persistence/perseverance and increase student retention.
Staying connected and communicating with the students is important. Using the tools on a consistent basis and sharing those tools with other depatments will build the team at the school. Knowing the resources that you have available and using them to help the students and show that you care.
Using as many resources as you can to help students is the key. Showing that you apprecitate them and understand their struggles. Being a good mentor also helps them feel heard. Good clear communication also allows them to feel trust with the whole school
I learned that there are several resources (mentorship, tutoring, exit interviews etc.) that can be use to gather insight on the student's experience. These services can improve retention as well as introduce ways the school can improve their services.
Showing appreciation, being relatable, keeping focused, mentoring, clear communication, and informing students regular and being responsive are all key indicators of assisting students to stay on task.
