There is much pressure to retain students, but instructors are uncertain as to how to best do that. This workshop offers five easy ways to retain your students. These ideas come from the work of retention guru, Vincent Tinto (2005). They are important for all students, but especially first-year students.
- Set high expectations.
- Advise effectively.
- Provide academic, social and personal support.
- Engage in frequent and high quality contact with students.
- Involve students with their learning.
