QuestionHow can we increase student attendance and participation?

¿Cómo podemos aumentar a asistencia y participación de nuestros estudiantes?

NMUSD Adult Education Student Ideas: Reasons Students Stop

Attending Limited space in day care Transportation problems Parents w/children in class make it difficult

to concentrate Concerns about teacher(s):

Favoritism – Teacher favors some students more than other students.

Teacher does not motivate students and/or provide a dynamic learning experience.

NMUSD Adult Education Student Ideas: How can we increase

attendance/participation? Add a pronunciation class to class offerings. Put an anonymous suggestions/concerns box in

the office so students feel comfortable sharing their concerns about teachers.

Use students as school leaders – students motivating students.

Give students flyers to distribute to friends, community members, and local businesses.

Create learning activities in the infant/toddler room so parents don’t feel they’re “wasting time ” when it’s slow.

NMUSD Adult Education Student Ideas: How can we increase

attendance/participation? Permit more babies in the day care. Do phone calls to absent students – office

personnel. Do phone calls to absent students – students. Offer a Spanish GED class at the BESST

Center . Try it out during the summer?

Continue and expand technology offerings. Continue and expand motivation strategies.

Funny money Reopen the Saturday class.

We took a group picture. We asked permission to use the picture for District purposes, and all student council members agreed. I forgot to ask permission to post it on the blog. Once I get permission, you’ll see it in this PowerPoint.
