WHAT we are attempting • 6 General Education Outcomes • Discipline-Specific Knowing • Problem Solving • Communication • Social and Cultural Awareness • Professionalism • Information Literacy
WHAT we are attempting • Identifying a “Disciplinary Expert” • Curriculum mapping • Faculty development through “intrusive advising”
HOW we are going about our work • Collecting official course outlines • Collecting each and every syllabus, or trying to • Following up with coordinators and chairs
HOW we are going about our work • Syllabus questions: • Are faculty members covering information literacy? • If so, how do they talk about and assess it? • Is it working? • If not, how could it fit into their courses? • Coordinator questions: • How are you assessing gen ed outcomes across your program/discipline? • Is it working?
WHY we are doing it this way • Re-accreditation • Benefits to the library • What we’ll do with a curriculum map
WHY we are doing it this way • Understanding of “practice” • What “faculty-led” really means, or should mean
our QUESTIONS for you • Ever tried this? • How would this go over where you are? • What should we avoid as we move forward?
