Development
As of August Writing & Math have completed 3 competency based modules each. The LTs are continuing to undergo faculty review in order to ensure accuracy and consistency of both content and pedagogy. Development of this first set of LTs is expected to continue into the fall in order to have a spring of 2015 launch. A closed beta is scheduled to start in October.
Faculty Training
Coinciding with the development of the Toolkits will be the creation of faculty training. In partnership with Center for Excellence for Teaching and Learning (CETL) through The College Experience Institute, a faculty-to-faculty training model will be developed to deliver training around new learning strategies and Toolkits.
The training will be created, with the assistance from the Title III professional development specialist, by faculty and delivered by faculty “Master Trainers” who have experience in the primary subject area. A blended delivery model will accommodate both current full-time and adjunct faculty. As new faculty members are hired, this training will be incorporated into the “on-boarding” process.
If you are interested in becoming a Master trainer in the Spring of 2015 please email: TitleIII@spcollege.edu with the Subject: Master Trainer
Branding
In order for students to easily identify these new learning resources a new logo and color scheme was developed by Marketing and Public Information. The bold orange color stands out from the majority of college resources and materials ensuring the Tookits are easy identifiable by faculty and students.
