Improving your admissions processes...

Alissa, I have learned to give Admissions the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, a student comes because they truly want to and learn quickly it is not what they expected or are not ready for the work. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Thomas, Also include group activities. Pairs, trios, or up to 5 in a group helps. Students assist each other and complement learning styles. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Improving your placement programs...

Huseina, Is your school regionally accredited? If nationally accredited the school would be measured by their placement. Students taking a job need to be made aware that they still have loans to pay and will need that diploma later. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Improving your orientation programs...

Huseina, This is good. Orientation is a process and should not be considered a single day event. Students need time to become familiar with the educational environment and all the resources available. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
