Departmental Discussions

Professional Development Day, October 8, 2007

 

During their afternoon departmental meetings, faculty discussed these questions, which echo those discussed during morning roundtables (the notes of which have been posted to the relevant ThinkTank).  Follow the links below to view the notes of the departmental discussions.

 

How do we as departments respond to the AtD priority commitments? 

 

(Priorities are derived from AtD’s Implementation Strategy Overview.)

 

Priority One: Improving student outcomes through strengthened student support systems

Comprehensive Orientation

Early Alert/Intervention System

 

Priority Two: Improving student outcomes by increasing use of effective educational practices

Faculty Professional Development

Math Initiative

 

Follow-up Questions:

1.      What can we do as a department to improve student performance in those top 20 classes [mm1] (even if we do not teach any of these courses)?

 

2.      Can we commit as a department to include Achieving the Dream priorities on each department meeting agenda?
