Stephanie Foote, director of the Master of Science in First-Year Studies and Faculty Fellow for High-Impact Practices in the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), presented the workshop “Creating High-Impact Curricular and Co-Curricular Learning Experiences” on Jan. 19.  Co-sponsored by CETL and Keisha Hoerrner, dean of University College, the workshop was attended by sixteen University College faculty and staff.

 

The workshop included an introduction to high-impact practices (HIPs), outcomes associated with participation in these practices, strategies to incorporate HIPs into academic and co-curricular programs, and methods of assessment. Participants worked together to identify ways to incorporate HIPs into their initiatives.

 

On Feb. 11, Stephanie Foote and Tom Pusateri, associate director of CETL, presented a special University College learning opportunity, “Getting Started with SoTL.”  This workshop provided an introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), described the SoTL research process, and offered guidance to help participants conceptualize their own SoTL research. A follow-up SoTL workshop, featuring Rick Mosholder, associate professor of psychology, Chuck Wynn, assistant professor of history education and history, and Hillary Steiner, associate director of Learning Communities, will be offered for UC faculty and staff on March 11, 2016, at 12:30 p.m. in the Dean’s Conference Room (UC 214).
