Higher Education Faculty Development

For colleges looking to dramatically increase college persistence and graduation rates through targeted faculty pedagogical support.

High failure rates for first-year college students are strongly attributed to a lack of sense of belonging, motivation, and ability to seek help. College faculty and instructors do not typically receive the pedagogical classroom training to meet the needs of their youngest students.  These gaps can be directly linked to high withdrawal rates and low retention rates in colleges across the country.  

CPC’s model explicitly addresses the gaps in the structural handoff between K-12 and higher education head on.  Building a bridge between high schools, colleges, and workforce programs creates a better understanding of curriculum, data, and pedagogical models yields a more cohesive pathway to students’ postsecondary success.  

CPC’s intensive professional learning model provides college professors with the tools to build relationships with young adults and encourage student motivation, belonging, and help-seeking skills in the classroom. CPC supports include on-site professional development, virtual trainings, and individualized self-guided training modules.
