Spring 2025: Teaching in the New Common Curriculum Series

    NEXT: Reflective Structured Dialogue in the CC Classroom (3/24/25 and 3/25/25, 2:30-3:30PM, online)

    Interested in new ways of bringing a formal dialogue practice to your classroom? Join us on one day (or both) to participate in a Reflective Structured Dialogue on teaching practices and challenges, followed by a debrief with a group of supportive colleagues.

    Career Readiness in the Common Curriculum (4/21/25 and 4/22/25, 2:30-3:30PM, online)

    The eight career competencies identified by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) are not just abstract ideals but practical skills that significantly enhance students' employability and career success. By embedding career competencies into courses, and specifically the Common curriculum, institutions like UConn will bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, preparing students for successful transitions into the workforce.  Faculty are already implementing activities and assignments that help students to develop these skills, but students are not necessarily aware.  This workshop will cover the what, why, and how of integrating NACE career competencies into curricula.  This workshop is relevant for instructors of any courses, not just Common Curriculum.
