Faculty Collaborations
In our goal to align secondary & postsecondary academic curriculum, we developed a project to bring together high school and college faculty to collaboratively create academic & assessment strategies centered around their content areas to promote students' academic success in their classroom, and to share these effective strategies with their colleagues. Each participating faculty member receives a $700 stipend for their involvement.
Our goals are to:
- Identify shared expectations for students' success
- Increase students' academic performance
- Promote collaborative efforts between secondary and postsecondary educational levels
- Identify effective and meaningful strategies for learning assessment
- Help meet faculty development needs
- Develop teaching strategies centered around specific course content that will help increase students' critical thinking skills and academic performance
- Share best practices with colleagues in a variety of ways.
