ADVENTISTPHENOMENON
Although church membership is growing, school enrollment is dropping across the
North American Division (NAD).
CognitiveGenesis will collect data that may help us better understand this
phenomenon.

![Page 7: The Impact of Adventist Education on Academic Performance In partnership with North American Division, Office of Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2e5503460f94c4809b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MENTALCOMPONENT
Local efforts by conferences in the past have looked at some of the academic
performance variables BUT . . .
Speculation and uncertainty still exists in the minds of parents

successfully promotes students’ intellectual development.

TwoPOSSIBLEOUTCOMES
Validate the success of Adventist Education in terms of students’ measurable
academic performance
and/or
show areas that need improvement.

COGNITIVEGENESISBenefits of
• Provide information to evaluate Adventist Education’s
strengths and weaknesses
• Reliable data showing how Adventist Education (AE)
compares to other private and public education
• Correlation with Journey to Excellence (J2E)
![Page 12: The Impact of Adventist Education on Academic Performance In partnership with North American Division, Office of Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2e5503460f94c4809b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
COGNITIVEGENESISBenefits of
• Target instructional areas needing improvement
• Correlation and integration with Valuegenesis
• Improved ability to market the positives of AE based on empirical data
![Page 13: The Impact of Adventist Education on Academic Performance In partnership with North American Division, Office of Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2e5503460f94c4809b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Journey to Excellence”
• Goal of J2E is school improvement
• J2E is the filter through which NAD evaluates everything in education
• 10 Preferred Practices (PP)
• One PP is student assessment
![Page 14: The Impact of Adventist Education on Academic Performance In partnership with North American Division, Office of Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f2e5503460f94c4809b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
By assessing academic performance, CognitiveGenesis supports one of the 10 PP
of J2E - student assessment.
COGNITIVEGENESISSupports J2E
