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

Abstract:
Reading a good poem draws us in and opens us up. Discussing poems in adult education classrooms elicits critical thinking and comprehension skills – crucial for passing high school equivalency tests. Reading and writing poems encourages social and emotional learning, heightening connection with others and increasing self-awareness — crucial for a good life. During this webinar, we will discuss and demonstrate strategies, resources, and lesson plans for teaching poetry in face-to-face and remote classrooms.
