What Can I Do to Increase Student Retention?
It’s never a good feeling to learn that a student has left your class … or worse, left school altogether.
Especially because it so often comes as a complete surprise; before you even realize they have a problem, they’re gone.
We provide some powerful tools and techniques you can use to prevent these “unhappy endings,” in this fast, focused presentation.
This Magna 20 Minute Mentor is led by two veteran educators: Rob Jenkins, M.A., professor of English and “Two-Year Track” columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Debi Moon, J.D., recipient of a National Teaching Excellence Award and an administration and faculty member at Georgia Perimeter College.
Together, they share strategies for keeping your students connected to you, their classmates, and the course material.
During this seminar on CD you’ll learn:
- How to promote a sense of community and collaboration.
- How to help students discover their learning styles (and adjust your teaching accordingly).
- How you guard against students falling behind and getting “lost.”
- How to promote active learning and critical thinking.
- How to build student confidence and competence through participation in shared-teaching exercises.
You’ll get ideas you can implement right away in your classroom to give every student a better chance for success.
