It is up to us to want it more than some students do, until they decide to want it more for themselves.
One of the biggest walkaways from this segment is ownership of our behaviors, actions, and attitudes. When both the faculty and staff work together to improve the overall quality of education for the students it makes a major impact. It is much easier to be effective by embracing our differences as opposed to working against them. We can all learn from one another which provides an EduPreneurial advantage in the long run.
Students are customers and should be treated with respect. Having said that, they are students, and we can motivate students to achieve their goals and work through or around any negative HABEs they may have. We can also demonstrate role model professionalism that our students may adopt as their own.
I’ve learned the importance of embracing the "EduPreneurial Spirit," where we see ourselves not only as educators but also as part of a larger business working together for our students' success. Understanding that our school has both an educational and business side helps me see how every role, whether it’s our receptionist, admissions department, financial aid, or instructors, contributes to student success and retention.
I apply this by keeping in mind that every interaction with a student is a chance to make a positive impact, both educationally and in their overall experience with our school. Whether it’s mentoring them to help clarify their vision or ensuring I provide well-prepared lessons, I focus on the bigger picture: helping students succeed in their goals while contributing to the success of our school.
its just business mindfulness. keeping a positive experience in all facets of the institution translates to what the customer sees and experiences.
Customer Service goes a long way.
Students always need to know that they matter and their dreams can come true - to understand that life will always throw obstacles but it is in how we handle them that will help them succeed
