2024 Institute on General Education, Pedagogy, and Assessment
Who Should Attend
The Institute on General Education, Pedagogy, and Assessment is designed for any campus, system, or consortium engaged in redesigning general education curricula and/or institutional assessment efforts. Attendees can be at any stage in the process of rethinking general education and assessment approaches and issues emerging from their respective needs and circumstances. Teams should include a diverse set of colleagues, including a senior academic officer and faculty and other educators working on general education committees or teaching general education courses. Team members can include student affairs professionals and assessment and curriculum specialists with active roles in advancing student learning on campus.
I had the opportunity to attend two Institutes on General Education and Assessment with two different teams from the same institution. Each time we returned with renewed focus and a clear plan to move our project forward. The ability to have concentrated time with my campus team to focus and learn was invaluable; and having access to world class experts to guide us and provide feedback enhanced our experience more than I could ever express.
