This year’s General Education Professional Learning Community will focus on active learning—designing outcome-based learning activities for general education classes. Hosted by the General Education Subcommittee on Assessment and sponsored by the Faculty Development Center, this semester-long learning community will foster the creation and revision of measurable, relevant, and effective learning activities to ensure accurate understanding and assessment of student learning outcomes in four major areas: Social Sciences (GEKS), Humanity (GEKH), Arts (GEKA), and Writing Intensive (GEEC-WRGT). We encourage tenure-track, non-tenure-track, graduate instructors, part-time and full-time lecturers to participate. The community will meet twice a month from early October to early December. Participants who complete all community meetings and assignments will receive an $300 honorarium, a certificate, and a set of new/revised learning activities and strategies to improve their pedagogies and ultimately students' learning outcomes.
