Thomas, Helping the student make the connection between their LIFE and their education does make a big difference. In the end, it is what matters, "What's in it for me". Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Improving your school involvement activities...

Megan , Tie activities into the learning some how. I've come to believe that there are students that will participate in almost anything and there are the introverted that find it difficult to participate. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.

Rick, A great post and so right on regarding putting active learning into use. I have to differ with you on the students. Only a few are not vested or take longer to become vested. Students want to know how their education is going to help them attain their goals or their goals are not well defined. Active learning does help in addressing this because it engages the student.

Jeannette, Most schools have program directors in to reinforce curriculum related topics and expectations. Barring that, a faculty member from the program should be addressing expectations. Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
