Request for Proposals: Gen Ed: Making it Work and Making it Matter
Baruch's General Education Committee devised our theme to be broad enough to include all aspects of General Education. We are particularly interested in areas such as best practices and assessment (Does our teaching work? How do we know?) and student engagement (Do students care? What might encourage them to care?). We’re very interested in innovative approaches such as learning communities, e-portfolios, and service learning---how we use them and how we know whether they work. Proposals on these and other topics will be gratefully received.
Proposals are due March 14, by email; visit the conference website for more information:
