Nearly one-quarter (22.3%) of full-time first-year students drop out within 12 months of starting, and for part-time first-year students, more than half (54.9%) fail to complete their first year — all while enrollment numbers and federal funding levels are declining. What’s more, the need for additional learning support is growing, especially as the number of non-traditional students — such as parents, people working full time and English-language learners — is increasing. These “New Majority Learners” face unique learning challenges that often require additional support if they are to succeed.
The traditional approach of intervening after students begin to struggle or only when a diagnosis is in place won’t work. Instead, a growing body of evidence suggests that proactive, preventative strategies provide a more effective path to student success.
Join us to:
- Recognise The New Majority Learner and the challenges they face
- Understand concepts of learning science missing from how we approach current strategies of support and EdTech design
- Explore what a proactive vs reactive approach looks like for supporting New Majority Learners
This session aims to open a dialogue on how shifting student demographics signal a necessary rethink of support, including technology, to have the greatest impact on learning.
All registrants will receive exclusive access to Genio’s New Majority Learner Report, a comprehensive report where we delve into the data, exploring the challenges and motivations of these New Majority Learners, and what it all means for institutions.
