Three-Day and Weeklong Seminars

JUNE 2013 WORKSHOP

JUNE 10-14, 2013

For more than 30 years, Alverno College has been a leader in ability-based curriculum design and the assessment-as-learning approach to education. Alverno's curriculum requires all students to master, within the disciplines, what the faculty has developed as eight core abilities critical to the worlds of work, family and civic community. Those abilities include communication, analysis, problem solving, valuing in decision-making, social interaction, developing a global perspective, effective citizenship and aesthetic engagement.

Every year, hundreds of educators throughout the United States and the world visit Alverno to learn about its teaching methods. Attend one of these educator workshops to learn more about Alverno's principles and practices and how this approach can be adapted to your curriculum.

All workshops offer participants the experience of a dynamic, innovative, and hospitable institutional learning culture. Participants also interact and collaborate with educators from around the world.

The weeklong conference features sessions designed according to the learning principles that guide the Alverno curriculum. Educators will have the opportunity to learn how Alverno's widely respected ability-based curriculum and assessment methods are integral to teaching.

  • Participate in hands-on work sessions and receive one-on-one assistance with their projects from experienced Alverno faculty and staff
  • Gain insight from professionals with extensive experience designing and implementing assessment methods
