Admissions Performance Group

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Your Most Challenging Obstacles

I often find it hard to overcome the work and school schedules that conflict or those students that are at a distance and have to plan to visit. I try to sympathize and end up letting them give me a call back to schedule.

Evaluation

I too agree that evaluation is a big part of helping improve the school. We use evaluations from students and faculty. Also we evaluate all of our marketing strategies in order to see which one had the best outcome and to see which one needs to revised or removed. We are currently in the mode of making this school prosper with low enrollment. As long as we continue evaluating our efforts I know that our school will begin to prosper in the right direction.
