RT101 - Improving Retention through Timely Intervention

How many times have we said “if we’d only known” as a student walks out the door? No one starts classes planning to fail, but unfortunately problems do arise that present barriers to success. Students are good at identifying these problems blocking their path to success, but they frequently don’t have adequate problem solving and communication skills needed to overcome these problems. This course looks at the effect of stress on attrition, the use of tools to identify and help students at risk, and how to develop an institutional culture that shares responsibility for student success across the entire organization.

In this course, you will learn a practical, hands-on method for looking at crises. The course will show you how to develop a crises audit to avoid and prepare for crises, how to manage an actual crisis, and how to learn from past events.
