Comment on Sandra Byrnes's post: That is a great statement and I found it to be impactful even in my short tenure teaching.
I like the 3 month follow up strategy via email. I think I will try this with my next cohort.
I liked the buddy idea, holds them accountable to someone other than the instructor and typically learners react better that way and will do the assignment or project as to not become on bad terms with their peers.
I learned various teaching strategies that will help me make a big impact in my students lives.
I currently follow up with students after they graduate, and I will continue that.
As teachers, we need to adjust the methods of instruction to reach all students. Students learn differently and knowing that early can help the student's progress.
