Describes how Learning Relationship Management Systems (LRMs) help schools to drive retention from acceptance to graduation.

2. Students don’t show up already knowing calculus
You have to teach it to them

3. They don’t show up knowing how to succeed in
school, life and career either, so if you want them to
graduate and achieve the promise of their
education, you have to teach that too

4. But most retention and
student success initiatives
aren’t actually focused on
teaching students to
succeed but focus
exclusively on preventing
outright failure

5. In designing LRM, we flipped the script, and instead
of focusing on why some students fail, we instead
examined why some students are extraordinarily
successful

6. And we built the DNA of their success into the structure
of the software so that it can be scaled for all students

7. The key insight is that for students to succeed beyond the
expectations of their circumstance, they need an
important Purpose, a clear Pathway to it, and support
from a network of People who share it
Purpose | Pathway | People

8. The 3Ps of Real Success
™ is supported by
research, but it’s also such
common sense that we
haven’t found anyone who
disagrees with the concept

9. But the problem is in
operationalizing the insight;
schools simply don’t have line
of sight into which students
have the 3Ps and which do
not

10. As a result, educators are forced to watch with limited
influence as students flame out; unmotivated
unsupported, wandering aimlessly, sampling courses,
racking up debt and feeling alone

11. The promise of LRM is in the unwritten happy endings for
the students you’ve lost over the years, not just in the
numbers and the statistics, but in the people and their
potential

12. It’s in that moment right
after admission, when
they were introduced to
the advisor, who helped
them articulate their
purpose for the very first
time

13. It’s in the learning plan
that got formed and
changed then reformed
and rechanged, but
ultimately, got them
ready

14. It’s in the friendships
they formed in learning
communities that kept
them from giving up
when the going got
tough

15. It’s in the sense of
confidence they built as
a result of mentoring
relationships formed with
a faculty member, an
older student, and
alumnus…

16. The promise of LRM is in the remedial learning app
that they got just in time to set them up for success
in a challenging course

17. Helping you rewrite these stories, so that every
student possible becomes a success is why we
built LRM

18. If you can imagine every single one of your
students with a driving purpose for their education,
a clear pathway toward it, and a support network of
people to get them there…
LRM can help you make it happen
