Roadmap

Promote Teaching and Learning Strategies that Increase Course Completion

A growing body of research shows how changes to the classroom experience can measurably improve student learning, retention, graduation rates, and post-graduation outcomes. Large required courses with failure rates as high as 30-60% can create retention and time-to-degree issues for hundreds or even thousands of students at a single institution. Unfortunately, highly effective, engaging pedagogy remains the outlier in many programs, and faculty often lack the knowledge of student-centered course redesign.
