Improving Student Retention in Adult Education Programs

Component 5: InterActive Time

Now that Components 1 through 4 are completed, everything learned will be tied together into an interactive experience. This capstone or final project should synthesize all previous learning, and will be posted on a Region 3 Web Bulletin Board to be shared. 

Good luck and enjoy sharing what you have learned!

The capstone project consists of the following four parts:
 

Part 1 Conduct a retention study of the class. Develop a summary of your results.  Be as specific as possible so others may benefit from the results. Where was that example?

Part 2 Describe three Strategies for Success to implement in the class.  Make sure to target specific populations.  Consider strategies that would overcome barriers/obstacles, learning and cultural differences and various learning styles.

Part 3 Share a retention success story about a student or class.  Describe the initial problem, the techniques and strategies used to overcome the problem.

Part 4 When the capstone project is completed, post the results to the Bulletin Board.
