Draft SLOs & Requirements for Mission Markers & Interdisciplinary Concentrations

Posted on by

During the Fall of 2016 over 80 faculty and key staff worked in Requirement Development Committees (RDCs) to propose Student Learning Outcomes and other requirements for each of the elements of the new general education curriculum.  GERC is currently in the process of seeking feedback on a second set of curriculum elements that needed more development.  They are the following:

  • Mission Markers (formerly Integrations), which include
    • Writing-Rich Courses
    • Experiential Learning for Social Justice
    • Social Identities
  • Interdisciplinary Concentrations (formerly Pathways)

GERC will follow the same process used to seek feedback and input on the other curriculum elements.  Schools will have the opportunity to weigh in with questions and concerns.  Additionally, all faculty and key staff will receive individual feedback surveys.  GERC will share feedback from the SEU community with the appropriate RDC groups and, when appropriate, ask for revisions.  The revised SLOs and other requirements will then go to Curriculum Committee and Academic Council in early Fall 2017.

DRAFTS of the requirements for each curriculum element are available here: DRAFT Mission Markers and Interdisciplinary Concentrations

If you haven’t gotten a chance to hear about the proposed curricular framework for our revised general education curriculum, please join the General Education Renewal Committee (GERC) for a presentation on Friday, February 5, 3-4 pm in the North Reading Room of the Library.  This presentation is open to all interested faculty and staff.

During the Fall 2015 the Curriculum Models Group reviewed the feedback from the August 2015 General Faculty Meeting as well as the other feedback gathered from St. Edward’s University students, alumni, faculty and staff during the renewal process.  Specifically, committee members considered feedback on the 3 sample models and used it to shape a single Proposed Curriculum Model.

This curriculum framework is being presented to SEU faculty in school meetings during the month of January.  It will also be presented to the Student Senate on Thursday, February 4 at 7 pm.  Following these presentations, all SEU faculty and key staff members will be able to submit feedback in a February straw poll.  GERC will consider this feedback and address major concerns, then present a curriculum model for formal Senate vote in approximately March 2016.
