Powered by Ascension Academy, our professional development platform delivers practitioner-designed training that doesn't just inform—it transforms practice. This is the "Learn" in our Learn-Act-Prove framework.
"When your team is equipped with evidence-based strategies, retention doesn't happen by accident—it happens by design"
Every course, module, and learning path comes from real-world application—strategies Dr. Robinson used to achieve zero retention declines throughout his career. You get frameworks that work in practice, not just in theory.
Our content is grounded in the Unified Student Success Model (USSM)—a comprehensive framework synthesizing decades of retention research with modern insights into student success.
Ascension Academy isn't a standalone LMS. It's the "Learn" in our Learn-Act-Prove framework. When your professional development connects to your analytics and accreditation systems, learning translates directly into improved retention.
We don't offer "sit and get" courses. Our courses include: practical implementation tools and templates, case studies from real institutions, action planning frameworks, and opportunities for cohort-based learning and peer support.
Your team won't just learn—they'll do.
Every course completion is automatically documented and mapped to accreditation standards (SACSCOC, HLC, MSCHE). When accreditation time comes, you have clear evidence of institutional investment in faculty & staff development—without the scramble.
