Adult Learner Motivation

Madelyn, This is a nice idea, but I am not sure how well these types of "bring em back" programs really work. We have found that making sure school is interesting and fun throughout the term is the most effective way to ensure students come back. We still do these types of things, but more as a thank you than for retention. Jeffrey Schillinger
