One of the biggest walkaways from this segment is ownership of our behaviors, actions, and attitudes. When both the faculty and staff work together to improve the overall quality of education for the students it makes a major impact. It is much easier to be effective by embracing our differences as opposed to working against them. We can all learn from one another which provides an EduPreneurial advantage in the long run.
It is up to us to want it more than some students do, until they decide to want it more for themselves.
I really love HABE's and how it can help students create a proper approach for success in the educational journey. HABE's allows educators to connect with students by not only setting goals, but sharing our personal journey so that students can relate and connect on a different level. Educators should always understand that students are our customers, and we should always communicate clearly with a positive vision in mind.
I look at it from a sport aspect. For example, the by product of any team is to win not the goal. We need to reach our goals of how we work and meeting those expectations, if we meet those expectations, we will be able to have a buy product of winning.
Creating a vision with the student will encourage them and give them hope for what's to come in the future.
learning the students why will help you guide them.
You need to show students that you genuinely care
Students can be a reflection of their instructor.
Relating to students by discussing goals, experiences, etc. can encourage struggling students to gain perspective
Creating a vision and encouraging them to look at options and help either academic, financial, etc, can help students achieve
"A customer-oriented philosophy and Attitude must be embraced by the entire administration, staff and faculty."
Edupreneurial was a new term for me but I love that. It is easy to forget this. The more we treat the customer with care and compassion while holding them accountable, the more successful the student will be. Better retention = profit to company.
Schools are like businesses, and everyone working there should be part teacher, part business-minded. Treating students well, similar to customers, leads to success. Students need clear goals, and everyone in the school should assist them. Our habits, attitudes, beliefs, and expectations affect success, so it's crucial to understand and change them. Blind spots, things we may not see, can limit us, so it's important to identify and address them for ourselves, coworkers, and students.
Students come into education already having their own HABES and it is important in keeping this in mind when assessing their barriers and helping them find solutions.
Comment on Sandra Byrnes's post:
Helping the students envision their future and showing them the exciting possibilities is a rewarding part of being an educator!
With my knowledge after the training. My goals is to put some auditing mechanisms and new methodologists systems in place that will help students understanding the importance of the college catalogs.
It's very important to help students to create a vison because this can keep them motivated which is why it's important to know about their background, you can use that as a reminder every time they feel like giving up.
I have learned that having an EduPreneurial Spirit means I believe I am part educator and part entrepreneur at the same time. Therefore we all work together for the organization but also for the student at the same time. Not only do we want our students to succeed and earn their degree but over time our business will continue to prosper in ways that go beyond the basics of our individual role. If a student feels they are mentored and cared for they are more likely to graduate. This will increase graduation rates for the business and ensure that the school does not fall below minimum levels and suffer from adverse effects such as the loss of accreditation. Additionally, students who have a positive learning experience will bring in more students ("customers") to the University through word of mouth and sharing of their experiences. I plan to consider my role in Student Success as both a an effort to help students succeed in their studies and journey but also as having an end goal of increasing graduation rates and potentially having a positive impact on enrollment numbers over time.
Its important to teach how you learn...understanding is so important.
