Redesign for Results: Leveraging Shortened Terms for Student Success
Join our transformative workshop as we take a deep dive into the benefits of shortened academic terms.
Explore compelling evidence and success stories of institutions that have worked collaboratively and transformed their courses from a traditional semester design to shortened terms, leading to improved student engagement and achievement.
Learn from experts how to apply evidence-based practices to your courses and advising sessions to set students up for success.
Through hands-on activities and expert-led discussions, you’ll engage in meaningful dialogue with peers, exchange best practices, and work together to tackle common challenges.
Designed for faculty members, department chairs, academic advisors, and curriculum planners who are passionate about enhancing student success through innovative teaching strategies, this workshop will reveal how applying high-impact practices (HIP), in and out of the classroom, can revolutionize the student experience by creating engaging, effective, and inclusive learning environments.
