Student engagement

Attendance = Retention

Remember the goal… 100%

Simple equation to keeping students engaged from day 1:

Strong bond with:

1 Administrator + 1 Instructor + 1 Student = Engagement

“Social integration of students increases the probability of

academic and social success in the institution. If students are

engaged, they are more likely to feel a part of … the college

or university” (Spady, 1970).

Special Topic: The Pacific Institute (TPI)

Introduction to and Integration of

The Pacific Institute (“TPI”)

concepts and strategies

Attendance They want to be here!

Retention They want to stay here!

Engagement They enjoy it here!

Founded by Lou and Diane Tice in 1971, TPI has

developed a reputation for offering the most practical

and enlightening programs ever to come out of the

fields of cognitive and self-image psychology and

high-achiever research.

Guiding principles of TPI –

All individuals have an unlimited capacity for growth, change and creativity

Can adapt easily to change

Can become responsible for their own actions

Can regulate their behavior through a structured process that includes goal-setting, self-

reflection and self-evaluation

Can develop their potential by changing their habits, attitudes, beliefs and expectations

Results of TPI –

Individuals in an organizational setting achieve higher levels of growth and productivity

Shifting collective behavior from positive to negative and from poor performance to strong

performance

Leads to more constructive organizational cultures, and healthier, higher performing

workplaces, classrooms, colleges, etc.
