Interaction with students
Finding common ground is key.
Interaction with the students is very important. Alos building a rapport with the students allow them to trust you enough to tell you what could be hindering them from succeeding. It is very important to not only to build a relationship with the student, but also treat them with respect.
What I learned through this training and with my manager is that, if we follow protocol by going through the profile sheet, we will gather ALOT of information from the students. This information will allow us to gaiin some insight into there lives and then not only has fact finding questions, but questions about how all of these things are making them feel or think. From there, not only can we gain common ground, but gain "buy-in" because we have taken the time to get to know them....and see we care.
hard work will pay off in the end
Listening to the student needs is vital to the student and the institution success. It’s important to discovery what’s needed to provide assistance.
We ask them to write "why they chose our school" during orientation on a notecard. If the student starts debating to stop school, we then remind them of the response they wrote at orientation. This helps them focus on their original goal.
I think that using our core values as our compass we will always build good repore with our students. We are always complimented when a student refers a friend or family member to attend school here with us. We know that we have made a great connection with a student when they trust us to not only help them but friends as well. I know our campus strives to have positive interactions with people everyday.
I agree Hannah! It makes the work place more enjoyable for staff and students.
I agree, understanding the student is key. Like what was said earlier, bringing up their personal lives and making them feel genuinely cared about is a plus.
You make a very good point! A student needs to feel they are important and not just an enrollment. If they feel that they can be honest it will absolutely help them to succeed. We can be part of their support system in a superficial sense.
I agree. The students look to us for guidance & often for some security in making their decision.
Finding common ground is key because it allows the institution knowledge of the students wants and/or needs.
I agree, hard work will always pay off at the end
It is very important to not only to build a relationship with the student, something so little can mean the world to a student. At the we are here for then and to help them get through their aducation.
I think that is so true that when you find common ground with the student they dont feel as scared in this new journey that they are going in to.
Finding a common ground with a student is very important. Communication is key, but you must also be a good listener. Sometime students just want to be heard.
Well said Abel, the students should know we care about them and are here for them and are 100% vested in their future.
Absolutely agree with you Kathy! Short-term sacrifices now create a pay-off at the end if the students really gives 100%.
I firmly agree with Marilou with being honest from the start.
Establishing a relationship with the student is crucial to the overall success of the program
