Individuals, department committees, and other working groups are welcome to attend for consultations, including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Revising degree audits and flowcharts to make the most of Essential Ed requirements
- Tips for Building an Essential Ed Minor
- How to Build an Essential Education Experience Course
- What are in Essential Ed Seminar Modules
- How is Essential Education Assessed
- How have Wellbeing and Success Courses changed
- What is Folio Thinking, and how do ePortfolios support Folio Thinking
The first two Essential Ed Office Hours will be in Library Conference Room 103 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm on Wednesday, September 4, and Thursday, September 12.
