This pair of new Student-Centered Learning publications presents findings from interviews with Rhode Island higher education and business leaders. The interviews were designed to assess how student-centered learning -- learning that is personalized, competency-based, can happen anytime and anywhere, and allows students to take ownership over their own learning -- is helping (or could help) prepare students for success in college and careers.

The Rhode Island Alliance for College and Career Readiness hosted a special event: Promoting a Better Future for All Students on October 22, 2018. Dr. Jason Meriwether, Vice President for Student Success at Rhode Island College, delivered keynote remarks. Attendees included students, parents, teachers, policymakers, community, higher education, and business leaders. Participants discussed how we can work together to help all Rhode Island students gain the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in college and careers and how we can ensure that all students have the support and financial resources they need to reach their dreams.
