Guided support series for revising or developing program learning assessment plans
In the fall 2022 semester and the spring 2023 semester, CTAL will host a 3-part series of workshops to support UD faculty who are revising or developing program learning assessment plans. They are based on programs that have been and are run by CTAL staff. Although these sessions will support teams of faculty, they will be attended by one or two representatives of each team who will then work with their teammates (a “train-the-trainer” model).
Self-guided modules are also available for faculty who cannot attend these events or prefer to work on their own pace.
Similar support – guided programs in each semester and self-guided modules – is also available for faculty engaged in revising or creating program educational goals.

Fall 2022 guided support series
This is a series of 3 one-hour meetings spaced about 4 weeks apart. Participants are expected to commit to:
1. Form a team of faculty members committed to completing this work this semester. These teams are typically 3-5 members. This may be a new team or it may work well to work with an existing group such as a curriculum committee. Diversity of experience, knowledge, and viewpoint are critical elements in a successful team.
2. Engage in meaningful work during the three weeks between each one-hour session.
3. Send one or two representatives from the team to each of the one-hour sessions. In these sessions, we will provide materials, collegial advice, feedback, and opportunities to practice to prepare them for the work that should occur after that particular meeting.
The three one-hour meetings are scheduled for:
- Friday, September 23, at 3:00
- Friday, October 21, at 3:00
- Friday, November 18, at 3:00
We are open to meeting in-person or online and we will decide based on responses to the application.
We will notify applicants in the first week of the semester if your application has been accepted. (The selection process is not competitive; we are only unsure how many programs will apply and want to ensure that we have the resources to fully support all of the participants.)
2023 Winter Institute on Learning
The 2023 Winter Institute on Learning will be separate institutes offered online and in-person. Additionally, each institute is divided into two parts with the first part focusing on program educational goals and the second part focusing on program learning assessment. You and your colleagues are welcome to apply to one or both parts of either the online or in-person institute.
The first part of the online institute will be held on Tuesday, January 17, and Wednesday, January 18. The second part of the online institute will be held on Tuesday, January 24, and Wednesday, January 25. Each day of the online institute will require a 1.5 – 3 hour time commitment on Zoom working with CTAL colleagues in the morning and several hours in the afternoon working with faculty teammates.
The first part of the in-person institute will be held on Thursday, January 26. The second part of the in-person institute will be held on Friday, January 27. Each day of the in-person institute will begin at 9:00 or 10:00 and last until 3:00 or 4:00.
Applications for any part of the institute must come from small teams of faculty who teach in a specific degree-granting program (undergraduate or graduate). These teams are typically 3-5 members. This may be a new team or it may work well to work with an existing group such as a curriculum committee. Diversity of experience, knowledge, and viewpoint are critical elements in a successful team.
We will notify applicants in the first two weeks of December if your application has been accepted. (The selection process is not competitive; we are only unsure how many programs will apply and want to ensure that we have the resources to fully support all of the participants.)
More information about the institute is also available on the institute website.
