At our school, we believe that retention is driven in the classroom. Our faculty is "on board" with the idea that students must see the relevance in their education and the validity of the outcomes to their success. Adult learners are a very different being than secondary school students. Respect is a premium. Faculty can be trained to perceive the difference between treating an adult the way they deserve, and "coddling" a student. With a concentration on alternative methodologies and an understanding of multiple inmtelligences, faculty can design and impliment an engaging lesson on a daily basis. We want our students to feel like they can't wait to get into class, not that they can't wait to get out.
