When I was a kid, my favorite kind of candy was anything that was a “two-fer”. You know the kind I mean – two pieces for the price of one, like the little bitty tootsie rolls or the tiny bottles of Kool-Aid in wax bottles. My favorite place to go for “two-fer” candy was the dime store across the street from my elementary school because they carried 5-cent caramels. This allowed me to maximize my nickel.
Similarly, you will be able to maximize your time at the upcoming Regional Community College Assessment Conference because several breakouts will feature experiences and ideas that cover multiple facets of assessment. For instance, Adam Borth from Seward County Community College will be sharing how the college has incorporated assessment activities in the classroom to embrace broad institutional goals.
Adam’s session promises to be very hands-on and he encourages participants to bring their current institutional learning outcomes to the session. If you are looking to get more out of your existing assessment strategies, this will be a can’t-miss breakout session for you. “Incorporating Institutional Learning Outcomes into Course Curriculum” is offered from 10:00-10:50 am on Friday, April 22.
You are likely to find other compelling and layered sessions throughout the program. Keep checking the blog; we hope to have our online conference schedule up soon!
