Faculty Roles in High-Impact Practices -
Proposals due September 8
March 25-27, 2010
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
AAC&U's Network for Academic Renewal invites proposals that
explore the faculty’s use of high-impact practices (such as
learning communities, writing-intensive courses, and capstone
projects) to foster student learning of essential outcomes. The
conference seeks proposals highlighting models of these
high-impact practices and those that address issues of faculty
rewards, promotion and tenure, cost-effectiveness, and more.
This conference will highlight the new and expanding roles that
faculty are playing in developing and using high-impact
practices—in courses, majors, general education, and in
partnership with student affairs—along with discussion of their
impact on both faculty and students. For more info:

A Webinar: Helping Students Learn From Ethical Failures
Featured Higher Education Presenter:
Tricia Bertram Gallant, Ph.D.
Location: Miller Nichols
Library, Room 121 (next door to FaCET)
Students cheat. Even before leaving
high school, more than half have cheated on tests, and more than a third have
plagiarized. (And those are the ones who admit it.) These days, it's
almost too easy to cheat. Stiff competition for admissions and the imperative of
high grades give students powerful motive; the Internet provides ubiquitous
opportunity. We're never going to eliminate cheating. But we can create
programs that educate students about honesty and character, reduce the incidence
of cheating and turn ethical lapses into opportunities for growth and learning.
That's the focus of a brand-new online seminar coming December 9. If
you're concerned about academic integrity, and committed to championing it on
your campus, you'll want to circle the date.
In Helping Students Learn from Ethical Failures, Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant will
explain how to move institutional attitudes about
cheating past despair and paralysis to enthusiastic support for change. During
this 90-minute audio seminar, you'll learn about:
The student mindset that cheating is "necessary." How cheating is
spreading and democratizing. How to conduct a self-assessment of ethical
learning opportunities on your campus.
How to analyze your institution's approach to student cheating.
How to overcome resistance to providing values/ethics education.
How to lead a campus-wide integrity movement.
How to build a coalition of stakeholders with an interest in enhancing academic
integrity.
How to leverage cheating incidents to stimulate prioritization of ethics and
integrity.
And much more.
A noted author and speaker, Dr. Bertram Gallant is Academic Integrity
Coordinator at the University of California San Diego, and Chair of the Center
for Academic Integrity Advisory Council. She has extensive experience developing
integrity policies and procedures.
Dr. Bertram Gallant's latest books include Academic Integrity in the
Twenty-First Century: A Teaching and Learning Imperative (Jossey-Bass) and her
co-authored Cheating in School: What We Know and What We Can Do
(Wiley-Blackwell).
Please RSVP to Bob Schubert, schubertr@umkc.edu,
by 4:00 p.m. on the business day prior to this seminar, so we know how many are
attending.

Assessment for Learning III: Formative Assessment to Improve and Document
Learning*
Michael Strait
Location: Health Sciences Campus, HSB Room 4307
With program level learning objectives identified and mapped in the
curriculum, formative assessment methods and instruments can be selected or
developed that can improve and document student learning of core objectives. The
purpose of this workshop is to learn about the qualities of assessment that make
a difference in student learning and apply that knowledge to the selection
and/or design of formative methods and assessments that target program level
learning objectives in your degree program.
