Call for Proposals - General Education and Assessment: Maintaining Momentum, Achieving New Priorities February 18-20, 2010 AAC&U's Network for Academic Renewal invites proposals that highlight fresh thinking and new approaches to help faculty, staff, and administrators maintain momentum in general education and assessment and reaffirm a commitment to educational quality amid mounting economic pressures and budget cuts. Administrators, student affairs educators, and faculty, especially now, must work together to ensure that general education is more than an accumulated set of credits and that assessment practices both demonstrate accomplishment and deepen achievement. At a time when many campuses are scaling back to focus on "essentials," the essential role of general education and assessment cannot be overlooked. This conference reaffirms a commitment to engaged liberal education as the guiding principle for campus action. The conference will draw on AAC&U's long-standing projects and publications on general education reform including work to bring diversity, global, and civic learning into general education and models for advancing scientific and quantitative literacy through real-world curricula and problem-based pedagogies. Submit your proposal online by filling in each field of the submission form as directed. For more information, please call 202.387.3760 or write to network@aacu.org. We look forward to reading your proposals. |
