OVERVIEW OF ON-CAMPUS OFFERINGS You can host an On Course Professional Development Program for educators at your college or university. These in-service programs range in length from one to three days, and the goal of each is to provide educators with effective learner-centered strategies for empowering students to become active, responsible learners. The result is greater student academic success and retention across the curriculum (click HERE to see supporting data). These highly interactive workshops offer your participants a powerful experience of learner-centered education and, as such, are valuable for all educators: faculty, counselors, and administrators. All of our workshops are designed for up to 50 participants.
THREE-DAY ON COURSE I WORKSHOP Bring the highly acclaimed On Course I Workshop directly to your faculty, student services staff, and administrators. This is the same event as the public On Course I Workshops held at conference centers throughout the U.S., and is our most requested event. A glance at the testimonials will quickly reveal the profound impact this workshop has had on past participants. You can offer this workshop exclusively for your educators....or build bridges to nearby colleges or high schools by inviting their faculty and staff to attend as well. Sharing expenses with other institutions offers a cost-effective way to provide a major professional development opportunity for both campuses. Consider hosting the On Course I Workshop at an off-campus site or retreat center so your participants can step off the daily treadmill to focus exclusively on their profession and themselves. The 3-Day On Course I Workshop schedule provides an immersion in learning-centered education and, thus, brings about significant changes in the way participants interact with students. They will leave with literally dozens of proven strategies that they can implement immediately. Another very positive outcome of the interactive nature of the workshop is the creation of community that lasts long after the event has ended. Expect participants in the workshop to return to their positions informed, inspired, and rejuvenated!
Attendees who participate in the entire workshop are eligible to enroll in ED 582: Strategies for Empowering Students to Become Active, Responsible Learners, a follow-up graduate course. This 3-credit course is conducted on-line and offered by Goucher College, a fully accredited 120-year-old liberal arts college in Baltimore, Maryland.
ONE- OR TWO-DAY WORKSHOPS Like the 3-day On Course I Workshop, our 1- or 2-day workshops provide learner-centered strategies that empower students to become active, responsible partners in their own education. Participants will leave with practical and proven strategies they can implement immediately. Though their organizing principles are the same as the 3-day On Course I Workshop, these shorter workshops present different learner-centered strategies. Thus, an educator can attend an On Course I Workshop and a one- or two-day On Course event and not encounter the same strategy twice.
