Session Description
Do you perceive an opportunity to incorporate the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy across a new or updated General Education curriculum? Whether your institution is in the process of revisiting or overhauling its General Education program and regardless of where you are in the process, join our presenters for a discussion of Framework integration during General Education revision. Our presenters will describe the steps that they took with campus stakeholders to: 1. Map the Framework's threshold concepts to the learning outcomes of two first year experience courses; 2. Pilot with faculty; 3. Pass a formal proposal through the Committee on General Education; 4. Participate in faculty professional development; 5. Co-develop a student self-assessment tool for use in all first year seminar courses; and 6. Teach selected threshold concepts from the Framework in first year seminar courses during the Fall 2022 semester. As key takeaways, attendees will be presented with a relatable plan for integrating the Framework during curricular revision and will be asked to consider actionable steps that might be taken at their own institutions.
Our presenters care deeply about students and are committed to institutional change, including curricular revision, that supports an inclusive, diverse, and equitable College community. They work together at a public regional college serving approximately 5,700 undergraduate and graduate students as of Fall 2022. Over 85% of undergraduate students reside in state and nearly half are first generation and Pell eligible. Students identifying as BIPOC comprise about 45% of the student body. Hispanic and LatinX students are the largest and fastest growing demographic representing more than 25% of total students. The College recently received federal recognition as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
