Student Stress

When a student is stressed, we can help. We can start the dialog with a student, by simply saying to them, you don't seem like yourself today, is there something bothering you that I can help you with?

Retention

Get to know your students, so you can tell when something is bothering them. That way you can offer your assistance, by asking them what is it that you can do to help them get through the course.
