Workshop Goals

• To provide an opportunity to meet with Lane faculty from your own discipline and other disciplines to learn about and discuss pedagogies and practices proven to help improve student retention and success in your classes
  
• To build and share faculty expertise about what it takes for students to be more successful in all their courses
  
• To create curricular infusions and explicit instruction in student success practices and principles
  
• To develop and share assignments, readings, activities and strategies for adaptation by faculty across campus

We welcome faculty from all disciplines to join us, although we especially encourage Writing, Math and ALS faculty to participate because of their role in first year students’ academic progress.  Faculty will be paid for hours attended plus 4 hours for reading and preparation. We will use a team approach to curriculum design, so if you know of members of your department with whom you’d like to work on this project, encourage them to register!
