We have the following workshop series coming soon to our world-class facilities. To see when the next series or workshop starts, check our calendar.

Successful Curriculum Alignment Workshop Series
Having a concise continuum for curriculum is an ultimate goal for mapping the taught curriculum. In this workshop series we will examine vertical and horizontal integration of curriculum and how department or discipline specific heads and chairs can propel their articulation.

Uncovering Multi-Disciplinary Skills
There are underlying commonalities within the taught curriculum for all departments and disciplines. Step back to review what skills are being taught in all departments and examine its impact on the connected curriculum. Your discoveries will:

  • Explore how student centric skills like critical thinking and reading, can be reinforced and covered in all disciplines.
  • Examine different strategies for integrating skills.
  • Scaffold non-discipline specific skills into a continuum.

Discipline Analysis for Alignment
A key component throughout Rubicon's Methodology is curricular review and alignment. Come prepared to address the top five issues facing your department and discover new strategies and ideas from other Atlas peers.

  • Conduct a thorough analysis of your discipline.
  • Create a series of reports and protocols to facilitate conversation and review
  • Explore innovative teaching practices within your discipline and how to embed them into the taught curriculum.

Build Tools and Resources*
Continue to expand tools and resources you need by creating an interactive podcast for your team or brainstorming with colleagues from around the world on key items.

Participants will select one focused activity by creating a podcast or tool that reflects one of the following:

  • Explore new strategies to document multi-disciplinary skills.
  • Engage your discipline in using Atlas to explore key questions.

Refine and Reflect
Prerequisite: Attend Build Tools and Resources

Take time to present and gain feedback on tools and resources developed in previous sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to work individually or with their team to make revisions, finish the development of their tool or spend one on one time with an Atlas consultant.

  • Practice protocols to giving and receiving constructive feedback on work.
  • Seize the opportunity to return with completed products necessary to support your process.
  • Celebrate the successes achieved.
  • Spend individual time with an Atlas consultant to answer any critical questions.
     

* As a prerequisite for the Build Tools and Resources workshop, participants must have attended a prior AEC workshop session, during either the same or a different visit.  Additionally, these workshops begin at 8:00 am.
