Please join us for the Teaching and Learning Center's "Basically HIP (High-Impact Practices) Certificate Program," presented by John Draeger, professor of philosophy and director of the TLC, on Monday, October 18, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Butler Library 318.

High-impact practices are experiences that have been shown to significantly improve student retention and academic outcomes for the students who engage in them. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has identified a number of high-impact learning practices (HIPs), for example, undergraduate research, collaborative assignments, learning communities, service learning, study abroad, and freshman seminars. HIPs involve a significant investment of student effort over time with multiple interactions among faculty, students, or relevant community partners about substantive matters as well as frequent, constructive feedback from faculty and regular, structured processes for reflection and integration.

This certificate program falls into three parts: First, participants will watch short videos (about 10 minutes each) and complete worksheets before the face-to-face workshop. Second, participants will attend the face-to-face workshop. Finally, participants will submit revised course materials based on the Basically HIP program.

Anyone interested in the program should complete this online form.
