Motivation

I agree that student motivation is a major role in retention, when i see the ah-haa moment in my students, it reminds me why i love being a teacher!

I had a girl reach her mid-year slump and lost sight of why she was in school.  A 5 minute conversation about working as a ultrasound tech after graduation revitalized her.  I think keeping sight on long term goals is key to motivating students.

Oh yes they muct be motivated internally but external factors like family and monetary desires can also be a motivator.
