WEBINAR:
Empowering STEM Students - Improving Placement and Retention

There are reasons why STEM students are failing and there are solutions to help them succeed.

Partner in Publishing and Stemify invite you to join us for a conversation with University of Connecticut professor, Dr. Amit Savkar, who took on some of the biggest challenges in STEM education. You’ll hear Dr. Savkar’s findings on the causes of student failure in the STEM major and how UConn’s DFW rates dropped from 35% to 10% through his interventions.

In this webinar, you’ll learn

  • The specific weaknesses in foundational math for incoming students
  • The value of identifying individual learning gaps through placement assessment
  • The necessity of targeted corequisite adaptive instruction
  • The relevance of foundational math knowledge across disciplines

All students, especially the most vulnerable ones, deserve this same kind of increased STEM access. UConn’s success story can be yours too.
