How can faculty collaborate to build programs that scaffold student learning, align learning opportunities, and measure and improve that learning? Curriculum mapping offers a visual tool to collectively analyze and address these challenges. Join us for a kinesthetic, hands-on mapping experience to create a shared vision for student learning across courses and programs. 

In this session, we’ll return to Challenge 1, where we use deliberative dialogue to map outcomes across core courses, electives, and upper-level courses and collaborate to identify gaps, overlaps, and potential improvements.

Lunch will be provided to all registered participants, please click “Going” at the FDC link provided to reserve your seat for this session.

Leadership & Teaching Series 
UMBC’s Faculty Development Center continues the Leadership & Teaching Series launched in March 2018!

Sessions in this series are designed to help you to reflect on challenges in teaching facing higher education and how you, in your role as a formal or informal leader at UMBC, can contribute to innovative solutions. Faculty and staff colleagues will address specific challenges in interactive presentations designed to help you explore key questions, for example,
  • How can you use research to improve teaching, learning, and curriculum design? 
  • How can you connect to other teaching leaders to identify common challenges and devise shared solutions?
  • How can you contribute to a collaborative culture of evidence-based teaching to improve student learning?
  • How can you identify policies, processes, and technologies that make it easier to gather and use evidence of student learning?
Who should attend?
  • Chairs, deans, graduate program directors, and others in formal leadership roles
  • Faculty and staff with informal leadership roles or who aspire to be campus leaders
