As instructors we need to reinforce retention in our students by showing the value of their education. A good way to do this is to point out how this information and practice will affect them when they leave the learning environment and start working in the field. Questions like, “What will you do when “X” happens?,” “Are you ready to do this without help or practice?,” “Will the customer want to pay you for the level of work you provide?,” place them in the theoretical situation and make them think about what happens after all this, am I ready, will this help, etc and places a stronger value on the work they are doing.
