Here are a few of the projects we are currently working on:
Rubrics Census 2011
As part of our ongoing inquiry into how we use rubrics and how they affect student learning, 2 faculty developers have launched Rubrics Census 2011. This spring, they gathered many different rubrics in current use from around the Academy, and are currently analyzing them for structure and language. There will be follow-up research in the fall with both faculty and students to learn more about their perceptions and applications of rubrics. If you haven’t participated yet and would like to join in the study or share a rubric, contact us. For more information on rubrics, go here.
Freshmen Faculty Mentor Program
The Freshman Faculty Mentor Program is developing a team of teachers specializing in improving the academic success of freshman students. A Freshman Faculty Mentor from each department is pairing with a Faculty Developer to build and support a team of instructors specially trained in working with freshmen. Together they will adapt teaching techniques to meet the diverse needs of new students and organize and run productive team meetings covering current issues.
