I learned that you have to model the behavior you would like to see in your students. If you want your students to puch themselves, you have to push yourself. I can't expect anything from them that I am not willing to give or do. I also must try different techniques of motivation, find out the best way for them to recieve the information that I am giving. I am planning a new student orientation course. It touches on learning styles, and offers tools to students to help them navigate course work, life, and their emotions. I have to contiually follow up with the students, as well, so that they are aware that someone cares if they stick around and complete the program. *Attention=Retention*
