One of the most important facets in developing a retention program is to hire faculty who are driven to student success.Faculty who are excited to be teaching and working with students who re-enforce how the curricula the students are learning will apply on the job. I also would have a school newsletter written by students. The students will fill out an instructor performance survey and a curriculium relevance survey so we can see if we are meeting the students' needs. To accommondate student success I would use the following: Seminars for study skills, time management, test taking, dealing with anxiety; Appreciation Events; Awards Assemblies; Clubs; activities where faculty and students interact.
