Helping Students Stay: Retention in the Classroom

Abstract: Retention is a constant challenge in adult education! Students face barriers to retention that are outside of our control, so this session addresses issues teachers can influence, from the moment they receive rosters to the last day of class. We will explore recent research on student persistence, introduce practical strategies to improve retention, and prompt teachers to consider their own classroom retention data. Enjoy collaboration and sharing with others while tackling this perennial challenge! Original webinar date: July 31, 2023 Webinar recording link: https://youtu.be/XuSf1Q6pCQY
