Artfully Retaining Students

Retention is an issue not for administrators alone. Teachers play a vital role in retaining students. Inside their classrooms and offices, they help to establish a climate that often profoundly influences students’ decisions to persist or not to persist in their studies. Join a conversation about the ways in which teachers can encourage student persistence. Please access the article provided on the link below before the conversation.  Additional handouts will be provided while you’re there.
