Teaching for Retention

Strategies to Ignite Student Success in Higher Education

About this book

This book provides actionable insights and strategies to help address the student retention problem that has plagued higher education.

Designed for faculty, this book reframes the common question, "Why do students leave and how can we fix it?" to "What if we made sure that every student had a compelling reason to stay?" Drawing upon the Gallup-Purdue "Big Six," – six key experiences in undergraduate education that influence graduates' well-being – Teaching for Retention outlines incremental action steps and strategies that every faculty member can implement on their own, without seeking administrative approval or waiting for institutional initiatives.

This exciting book is designed for any faculty member who wants to increase students' engagement in learning and motivation, and ultimately support students in completing their degree programs successfully.

Support material includes workshop facilitator notes, lesson plans, presentation slides, and participant workbook. These materials are available at www.routledge.com/9781032811833
