Equity and Human-Centered Design for Single-Mother Learner Engagement
September 12 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Equity and Human-Centered Design for Single-Mother Learner Engagement
Approximately 1.7 million undergraduate students, nearly 10% of all U.S. college students and roughly 30% of community college students, are single-mother learners. Yet, they are rarely the focus of campus programming. While more campuses are turning their focus on supporting single mothers toward completion, single-mother learners—89% of whom are low-income—need comprehensive, end-to-end solutions that can lead to long-term, family-sustaining careers. This session discusses how campuses can apply human-centered design to develop learner-centric programs and partnerships that address the specific needs and motivations of single mothers and other student parents. Drawing from the experience of the Single Moms Success Design Challenge, this session shares new models that seek to dramatically boost education outcomes for single-mother learners and connect them to academic and career pathways to improve their families’ economic mobility and well-being.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify human-centered design tools that can be used to create student success programs
- Name the components of the Learner Engagement Framework
- Identify the four Institutional Capacity Design Criteria
