A NEUROSCIENCE FRAMEWORK FOR MEASURABLE RETENTION
The Retention Crisis in Education: Why Do Students Forget Everything, and What Does Great Instructional Design Actually Look Like?
If your students are checking out, falling behind, or failing to retain what you have taught, the problem is not them. It is the delivery.
Educators invest enormous time and expertise creating curriculum, yet research consistently shows that students forget 70% of instructional content within 48 hours. This is not a student engagement problem. It is a design problem. And design can be fixed.
In this course, Dr. Dorine Rivers shares a neuroscience-based framework for designing instruction that creates real, lasting learning. Drawing on a patented methodology proven to achieve 72% retention rates, you will walk away with practical, research-validated tools you can apply immediately, whether you are building curriculum, designing instructional video, or rethinking how your institution approaches learning outcomes.
