A new Adult Learner Persistence website is now up at www.nelrc.org/persist.
The site shares the resources collected for and generated by the New England
Learner Persistence (NELP) Project. For each of six program areas (Program
Design and Management, Intake and Orientation, Instruction, Counseling and
Support, Student Involvement, and Seeing Progress), the site offers an
inventory of promising practices that link to related research, program
models, and tools. You can find, for example, research on the impact of
shifting from open to managed enrollment, examples of how programs have
built support networks to foster new students' sense of belonging, or tools
for helping adults recognize and document their learning progress. 

 

The site also highlights six Drivers of Persistence identified in the NELP
Project, links to program self-assessment tools, and invites the field to
contribute new examples of strategies that have impacted adult learner
persistence. 

 

Please take a look and share your discoveries!
