Assessing learner readiness is a critical component in proactively supporting students in their educational journey. Traditionally, schools measure cognitive skills to create a learner profile to best advise them of their potential career path. However, according to research and employer studies, it's the soft skills that make students more employable and potentially more successful. What are schools doing to ensure their students are prepared to learn in an alternative learning environment? While traditional face-to-face classrooms still exist, more schools are recognizing the need for expanded offerings such as elearning and competency based education programs. The importance of non-cognitive attributes and how they impact an individual's success in the workforce has been well documented and become an aspect of orientation programs. Institutions take completion and retention very seriously and are taking an active role in supporting students to lead them on their chosen educational path. Join our session to determine how to measure learner readiness for elearning, competency based education, and other non-traditional learning environments. We will discuss best practices of select schools across the country that are making great improvements in retention rates, completion rates, student satisfaction, and overall student success.
