our business is changing lives one at a time.
I take each student one add a time to try and so them how thing will be in real life explain to them all the ups and downs show them how to manage any situation that can come thier way and solve it.
Thank you, James.
Students like to learn from teachers who have been where they want to go.
I try to insure that I reflect the job I was doing in the real world and relate it to the lesson and topic I am teaching. This way the student can try to relate the new information to the future tasks they will face.
One at a time is the best approach you can take. If you treat the group as one functional culture, you will fail to meet the needs of some of the individuals.
Well said, Miguel.
There is always a temptation to think about numbers instead of about individual students. No matter what else is happening on campus, the attention and support we give to the studen in front of us has to be centered on what is best for that person.
I am new to the education sector; however, I have many years of experience in workforce development which includes education, economic development and employment as pillars of the workforce system. As assistant director, I am the primary contact for all student concerns. The practice at the school was to drop students without hesitation. My strategy is to identify the reasons why the student in this predicament and explore which option is best for the student. Retention numbers do not play a part in my decision making process. The student is the priority.
Thanks, Roy. The "real life" experiences we share with our students is one of the things that makes career colleges compelling places to learn.
