CBL, Your Partner in Student Engagement, Retention, and Learning!
Adult Learning and Test Preparation Supported by Expertise, Evidence-based Methods, and Frameworks
Do You Want To Increase Your Program Performance By Equipping Your Teaching Team With Skills To Maximize Student Learning And Success?
We work with adult education and Career Technical Education (CTE) programs to offer day-long webinars, workshops, and presentations to train instructors and administrators on how to engage learners, improve retention, and boost learning to reinforce test preparation.
We can help your program design and develop instructional systems, including course curricula, teacher orientation, material selection, educational technology implementation, and professional development. These systems help administrators and instructors select and use appropriate teaching materials and approaches to design safe, productive learning experiences that motivate learners to engage in learning— and persist in adult education.

Webinars and Workshops
We train dedicated instructors and administrators to engage learners, develop their knowledge and skills, and overprepare them—for test day and beyond. Our sessions aim to help programs enrich students’ learning experiences and simplify instructors’ jobs.
We plan and run our sessions using evidence-based frameworks (Bloom Taxonomy, Brain-Based Learning, Systems Thinking), cognitive science principles, and adult learning theories (Transformational Learning, Andragogy, Theory of Margin, and Self-Directed learning).
Our most popular sessions include:
- The Laws of Student Retention and Persistence
- High-Impact Teaching Practices that Foster Learning
