In this 60-minute session, we will divide into breakout rooms in Zoom to discuss and examine what these thought leaders have to say and how their message(s) relate the work we are doing (or need to do) on our own campuses. What are the challenges in conducting research and doing assessment work within each theme/area? What are the challenges in practice and in implementation? Are there opportunities? What might you explore or examine on your own campus related to one or more of these areas? We will also reflect on the shared themes from last week's discussions.
As homework after this session, you will write an elevator pitch of your proposal and begin to identify potential collaborators.
As a reminder, proposals centered around the four themes are encouraged:
Online/Hybrid Delivery
Delivery and assessment of high-impact practices in online or hybrid modalities (curricular and co-curricular)
Social and Racial Justice
Intentional efforts to make HIPs more equitable through social and racial justice, including developing HIPs that take up social and racial justice issues as well as high impact instructional approaches that increase learning, retention, and post-graduation success for underrepresented student populations
Scaling
Institutional scaling of high-impact experiences, including the tracking and assessment of student learning and success
Faculty/Professional Development
Designing high-impact courses and experiences that are aligned to the central features of high-impact practices and experiences, with a focus on professional development, inclusiveness, and universal design
