Student retention is key to private sector education institutions, and student engagement is a critical component of student retention.
What are the challenges associated with student retention and engagement and what best practices can be employed to mitigate those challenges?
In this age of Gainful Employment and enhanced government and regulatory scrutiny, academics will become more important than ever as career schools and colleges focus on improved outcomes as a means to demonstrate their worth and viability as critical providers of trained workers for the American economy. It will be necessary for academic deans to assume key leadership positions in their institutions to lead quality initiatives to improve student persistence, graduation and subsequent placement.
Faculty are critical to the success of students. Therefore, creating processes that ensure effective faculty selection, retention and development is critical.
To effectively maximize faculty performance, both programs and processes need to be in place to ensure that instructors are gaining, applying and, in effect, transferring the knowledge and skills acquired from their developmental activities to the student learning environment. Can institutions utilize performance-based activities and measurements as a basis for faculty development?

Outcomes assessment is one of the ways in which we evaluate quality of education. Specifically we assess performance relative to a goal or an objective.
