rt101
I learned a lot from taking RT101 and will utilize the stratergies to improve overall retention in my class.
I really got into some of it, helped me realize my influence with students. Mentoring, Tutoring & being a good role model for the student!
Thanks for the kind words. Retention starts with people who are committed to their students.
I also learned alot from RT101. Even though the class I teach is an elective that students pay for and really want to be there at the start. These stratagies apply to all classes.
I agree, If there is anything we all need to do is recognize why a student is at risk for retention. Understanding the possible thought processes and motivations is a very useful tool in helping out both the student and the school.
I'm glad to read that this module was useful, Abigail. How do you plan to divert students from a rash decision about withdrawing?
Rodney, I agree the 3rd module brought so much clarity to my position I was blown away. I had some idea that a student with issues comes to the conclusion of dropping at a radical speed. I was not clear on how to successfully divert them from this. I was not aware of the thought process that revolves around personal/professional problems.
