Proactively Supporting Students To and Through College | Lindsay Page | TEDxWilmingtonED

On the pathway to and through college, too many students aren’t succeeding. Each year, large numbers of students who intended to start college stumble in the transition to college, failing to make it even to their first day. Students can also struggle once enrolled. For example, for students from low-income backgrounds who attend college after high school, the most common outcome is participating in some higher education, likely taking on debt, but not earning any degree or credential. In this talk, Lindsay C. Page shares her research on how proactive outreach and support for students can improve their chances of accessing college and succeeding once there.
Lindsay C. Page is an assistant professor of research methodology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education and a research scientist at Pitt’s Learning Research and Development Center. Her work focuses on quantitative methods and their application to questions regarding the effectiveness of educational policies and programs across the pre-school to post-secondary spectrum. Much of her recent work has involved the implementation of large-scale randomized trials to investigate innovative strategies for improving students’ transition to and through college. She holds a doctorate in quantitative policy analysis and master's degrees in statistics and in education policy from Harvard University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
