Faculty Expertise

• Since its inception, the Core Competencies Initiative has leveraged faculty expertise across all Core4 competency areas.
• Faculty and educators from across the community have contributed to all phases of our work via initial committee work, development of teaching and learning resources, and participation in assessment activities.
• If you are teaching a core competency in your course or program, use to catalog it.

Holistic Experience

• We know that the Core4 skills are learned and practiced in many different educational experiences and learning activities.
• Our model accounts for the holistic student experience including coursework, academic support, residential living, advising/mentoring, student organization involvement, student employment and more.
• Our Learning Activity Dashboard for Students is a resource that helps students explore which learning activities on campus help them to build their Core4 skills.

Technology

• Strategic design and technology integration helps the Core Competencies team to scale our efforts across undergraduate, master’s and doctoral student populations.
• Key resources that support our approach include Canvas, OLI, Tableau, and many others. Visit our Core4 Resources for Educators to learn more.

Have a resource or tool that helps build core competency skills that you'd like to share with educators? Use to tell us about it.

Assessment

Just as our students are learning and progressing in their knowledge acquisition and skill development, the university is as well. We are committed to:

• Analyzing student data to better understand Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë’s educational environments and improve our teaching and learning practices; 
• Prioritizing data privacy and clearly communicating with students about the nature and extent of information describing them that is held in trust by Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë; and  
• Engaging in continuous consideration of how our educational environments equitably enable humane learning and academic progress.
