Transform Your Classroom Culture for Improved Student Experience, Persistence, and Outcomes

Higher education institutions across the nation are recognizing the critical role of student experience on persistence and degree completion rates. One strategy that has shown demonstrated results with continued impact is creating growth mindset cultures in the classroom. In a national study, instructors using evidence-based, growth-minded practices saw a 10.5% increase in students reporting positive learning experiences, which in turn was associated with a nearly 20% reduction in drop, fail, and withdrawal (DFW) rates (Boucher et al., 2021; SEP, 2022).

Despite the statistics, many educators lack the time and training to source and implement these strategies effectively. This course bridges that gap offering succinct modules packed with research, strategies, and activities designed to help educators and administrators create environments where students feel empowered and motivated, which is proven to improve student persistence and performance outcomes.

“[The course is] really great and polished. I think it's unique in its comprehensiveness. I can find videos and short workshops of some of the practices here and there, but the framework of Cultures of Growth interwoven across this wide range of strategies is novel and what would make me recommend it to others above other professional development out there.”

James T. Carter, PhD Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior, Cornell University

"I have pages of notes! The idea of a mindset culture was new to me, and thinking critically about my course practices and policies—and how I interact with students—is generative and helpful. It helps me see how my actions are impacting student learning for better and worse, and ways to better support students."

Michelle Friend, PhD Associate Professor of Teacher Education, University of Nebraska-Omaha
