Here is a brief explanation of what each day entails:

MONDAY: Theme Day!

All sessions will be connected to the theme Building the Bridge: Cultivating Relations to Promote Improved Student Outcomes. Only proposals connected to the theme will be chosen for the first day.

TUESDAY: Assessment Tuesday!

In addition to the usual morning presentations about what’s new and next in assessment at the College, Tuesday afternoon is for presentations from you related to the five Middle States Guiding Principles. The categories are broad, which allows for many ways to approach assessment under these Guiding Principles:

Mission-Centric (i.e., Mission of the College)
Centrality of the Student Experience
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Data-Based Decision-Making
Innovation

WEDNESDAY: Meeting Day!

The day will begin with the Academic and Student Success Division meeting followed by departmental meetings. Union meetings, program meetings and others will take place throughout the rest of the day.

THURSDAY: Mix n Match Day!

Sessions will consist of varying formats: 1-hour presentations to share data-informed ideas ready for implementation; 30-minute presentations where you can share an innovative idea; 10-minute slam for a quick update or a message that you wish to share. Proposals can be for any of the mentioned formats.

July 29 is the deadline to submit proposals.

Proposal Ideas:

The theme for the Fall 2024 PD Week is: Building the Bridge: Cultivating Relationships to Promote Improved Student Outcomes.
