Thank you. I do believe we have a great school system and many highly dedicated staff members and instructors. Although I would love to share all, I don't want to cross any proprietary information lines. having said that, there are several principles we try to deal with from orientation through "day 1" and beyond. Students drop out in much higher percentages very early. Fear of success and/or failure, family history, poor fundamental academic training, never before finishing any project, lack of support from family and peers and the whole Gen Y thing make it imperative that we engage them from the start and "reprogram" them to believe in themselves. I believe most schools, as we, give them some kind of strategies for success course in their first term. I visit that class three times to help build their self-confidence and self-worth, recall major accomplishments and create a bridge to my department. The methods used were designed to be fun, fast and often "furious". When successful the students better know each other and themselves. Each session lasts no more than an hour, and the 4th - 10th are optional on a monthly basis after that, culminating in hard skills and interviewing skills. All management, faculty and staff signed a statement committing 100% to the system. That was easy, because it is completely in each student's best interest. That's about all I can say, but I think every school can benefit from the concept and design their own "winning system" tailored to their own students needs, committed to by all.
