PUL 5, Understanding Society and Culture, has the following learning outcomes for students:

•     compare and contrast the range of diversity and universality in human history, societies, and ways of life;

•     analyze and understand the interconnectedness of global and local communities; and

•     operate with civility in a complex world.

PUL 6, Value and Ethics, has the following learning outcomes for students:

•     make informed and principled choices and to foresee consequences of these choices;

•     explore, understand, and cultivate an appreciation for beauty and art;

•     understand ethical principles within diverse cultural, social, environmental and personal settings.

 

These learning outcomes appear vast and complex.  How can these be implemented into your classroom?  What teaching methods will support these kind of learning outcomes?  How will we know our students are learning these outcomes?  These questions and more will be explored in this workshop, including concrete examples from faculty successfully integrating these PUL’s into their curriculum.

Why are first year students "at-risk"?  Some first year students may be at-risk because of the lack of academic self-awareness and other attitudes related to self-efficacy. This Innovative Educators webinar will discuss proven strategies utilized in the retention efforts of first year at-risk college students.  These strategies are effective interventions for academic success, as proven by a three year study.  Participants will learn how to help first year at-risk students succeed at their institutions.  Strategies discussed will include, but are not limited to, academic monitoring, self-assessment (including a reality check), developing a relationship with professors, utilization of journals, and tutoring.  

This event is cosponsored by the Gateway to Graduation Program and the Center for Teaching and Learning.
