SUMMARY:2026 Institute on the Curricular Approach™

This learning experience is dynamic and valuable. Participants will be able to explore how to lead\, design\, and implement a curricular approach. ICA Faculty will offer learning opportunities including large group keynotes\, smaller sequenced sessions\, faculty consultations\, institutional showcases\, and more. Wherever you are in your journey individually and organizationally toward a departmental or divisional curricular approach\, this institute is a straight-forward way to obtain clear direction from higher education and student affairs professionals experienced with a curricular approach. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Through participation in ICA\, you will have the opportunity to:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nApply the 10 Essential Elements of a Curricular Approach\nDesign\, implement\, and assess a Curricular Approach\nLearn from other institutions implementing a Curricular Approach through Showcase presentations\nGet feedback from Institute faculty about your Curricular Approach through Faculty Consults\n\nA Curricular Approach is a paradigm shift from traditional educational approaches to an intentional\, developmentally sequenced one\, defined by institutional mission and purpose. Staff members using a Curricular Approach first identify clear learning goals and outcomes grounded in the history\, culture\, mission\, and purpose of each institution. Then staff members identify student engagement strategies that can provide opportunities for students to achieve these learning goals and outcomes. Goals are sequenced\, pedagogy rooted in scholarship of teaching and learning\, and campus partners incorporated from throughout the institution. A Curricular Approach uses assessment to inform a process of continuous improvement. \nShifting to using a Curricular Approach is not superficial nor is it simply utilizing learning outcomes to guide programming. A curricular approach utilizes the 10 Essential Elements to think about student learning and a refined leadership mindset. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Institute Features\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				This learning experience is an institute and not a conference. Sessions are organized and sequenced to meet the needs of professionals and organizations at different places in their journey. Each session is also sequenced with learning outcomes to create an integrated\, developmentally sequenced\, experience for the participants. Showcases are also offered from a variety of institutional sizes and types to give concrete examples of how a Curricular Approach can be implemented consistently across campuses but also tailored for each unique campus context. \nWhether it is your first Institute or your twelfth\, you will leave inspired with new insights\, new collegial connections\, new examples and innovations\, and new energy. We have representatives from all sizes and types of institutions who have benefited from the Institute experience.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				REgistration information\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Team Registration\nConsistently\, some of the best feedback we receive from participants is from those who attended as members of an institutional team. While individual attendance is perfectly fine\, if you can register as a team\, we encourage it so you can learn together in real time and build or advance your Curricular Approach together. \nDemographics of institute participants (based on 2023 Institute evaluation data): \n\n\n\nTeam Attendance\nYears Attending ICA\n\n\n\n\nAttended without a team: 6%\nFirst-time attendee: 71%\n\n\nAttended with two to five colleagues: 46%\nReturning attendee: 29%\n\n\nAttended with more than six colleagues: 46%\n \n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					TeamACPA MemberStudent MemberNon-MemberStudent NonInternational\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nRegistrant 1: $659 /$859*                                    • Registrant 6: $559\nRegistrant 2:$659 /$859*                                    • Registrant 7: $459\nRegistrant 3: $559                                                 • Registrant 8: $459\nRegistrant 4: $559                                                • Registrant 9: $459\nRegistrant 5: $559                                                • Registrant 10: FREE\n\n*Rate after 21 August 2026 \nWhen registering a team\, please select “TEAM RATE: ACPA Member Institute Registration – Registrant 1-2 (Same institution)” for your first two registrants\, then “TEAM RATE: ACPA Member Institute Registration – Registrant 3-6 (Same institution)” for up to your next four registrants\, and continue with additional team rate options until your entire team is registered. \nPlease Note: All individuals registered using Team Rates must have an active ACPA individual membership through 21 October 2026.
