The interviewer wants to better understand your level of engagement with the students on your academic roster. They want to see if you are more hands-off and wait for the student to come to you or if you take a proactive approach and make a note to connect with your students regularly. Discuss how you ensure your level of engagement with your students is high to provide the best possible academic outcome for them.

"I understand that most educational facilities recommend that students connect with their admissions counselor at least once a semester. That's great for the students who are excelling; however, I prefer to have a better pulse on the students who are struggling a bit. This year I started using engagement software with the students on my roster. This software, called 15Five, elevates the engagement of my students by asking questions and starting the right conversations on a bi-weekly basis. The student logs on, rates how they feel from 1 to 5, and then answers a brief question that I have pre-loaded into the form. If a student is feeling a 2 out of 5, this is an indicator that I need to check in more frequently."
