Students
I will be utilizing the information provided for retention for my students. this has really helped me alot.
Great to hear you enjoy the challenge of being a top notch instructor, John. Unfortunately, many people don't appreciate the role that effective instructors play in shaping their students' future.
We are certainly on the front lines. I never knew until i bacame an instuctor the key role we play and the challenges that go along with the job. I enjoy the challenge and try to improve on my skills of early intervention.
While some problems might be handled by school officials in a better way, most, if not nearly all, are far outside the control of people at school in any capacity. For instance, when a parent simply refuses to provide any more transportation, the student was forced to withdraw because the student resided in a rural setting. The parent saw no need for any higher education. what are we to do with situations such as that? And others like it. I believe that most students are helped by those at the school if that is at all possible.
I feel it is sometimes out of the instructors hand in the sense that some students have outside issues that are out of our control.
I feel retention helps me to stay focus as to what my job is as a instructor. Retention plays a big role in my job more then I realise.
I love the idea of retention because I feel it goes hand in hand with how much we as instructors care for our students success.
I did not know how much retention played a role to the instructor
