More than 40% of U.S. students will never finish their degree. The most common trigger for dropout in the first two years of college is what students learn about their academic performance. We call this the dropout cycle: as academic obstacles persist, performance declines, leading to lower self-confidence, poorer engagement, and soaring stress. Working with more than 1,200 learners, we set out to answer the question, what if we can break the dropout cycle?
