How often do you monitor the progress of the students on your academic roster?

"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."

"I believe in very regular progress monitoring with all students. It's important to me that they know I care about their progress and achievements."

"All the time! Maybe they get tired of me always checking in on them, but so far, my active involvement in their lives has shown positive results."
