Educational Programs

WSCUC’s educational programs are developed by recognized experts and are offered as a service to WSCUC member institutions and others who wish to learn about good practices and emerging ideas in higher education. All programming is entirely optional; we hope member institutions will find them useful. WSCUC staff will be present to answer questions related specifically to accreditation expectations.

ARC2021 Featured Session

The Emerging Landscape of Learning for Equity

This session explored what five years of nationwide data tell us about three essential learning outcomes – written communication, critical thinking and quantitative literacy – and the implications for our work moving forward through an in-depth look at the current landscape of learning, focusing upon the quality of learning within the undergraduate curriculum and the equity of learning outcomes across various student characteristics. The data revealed practical actions that faculty and institutions can take to address longstanding patterns of inequity across various characteristics of students and assignments. Featuring Kate McConnell, Vice President, Office of Quality, Curriculum and Assessment, Association of American Colleges and Universities, and Terrel L Rhodes, Distinguished Fellow, Association of American Colleges and Universities.
