SUMMARY:2027 Institute on the Curricular Approach™
DESCRIPTION:Institute on the Curricular Approach27-29 September 2027 • new orleans\, la\nAttendees should plan to arrive on 26 September \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				Join student affairs and higher education colleagues on a journey equipping you to lead organizations toward a curricular approach to learning for all on your campus at the Institute on the Curricular Approach (ICA)! 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 \nRegistration information coming soon!

Tracks help guide attendees session selections at the Institute based on their focus area or role with assessment. \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				\n				Programmer and Emerging Assessment Practitioner Track\nSessions will be focused on building assessment knowledge\, confidence\, and skills. Specifically\, this track focuses on the following aspects of the assessment cycle: (a) writing goals\, outcomes\, and objectives\, (b) designing theory- and evidence-based strategies\, (c) implementing those strategies alongside a measurement plan\, and (d) interpreting and using results for improvement plans. This track will also cover quick measurements that student affairs educators can implement to inform improvement of the current student experience. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who should choose this track?\n				You work directly with students\, programs\, and the day-to-day work of student affairs\, and you know assessment could be making that work stronger. This track is built for coordinators\, program directors\, and student affairs educators who are ready to build foundational assessment skills and put them to work immediately. If you are newer to assessment or looking to develop greater confidence and consistency in your practice\, this is your track. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Experienced Assessment Practitioner Track\nSessions will be focused on expanding existing assessment knowledge\, confidence\, and skills for current or aspiring student affairs assessment specialists. Specifically\, this track focuses on the methodological process: (a) designing a data strategy and measurement plan\, (b) collaborating with student affairs educators to implement that measurement plan alongside strategies\, and (c) analyzing data and reporting results. This track will focus on measurements that departments and divisions can leverage to improve student experiences and share impact stories. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who Should Choose this Track?\n				You have been doing assessment work long enough to know the foundations\, and you are ready to go deeper. This track is designed for assessment specialists\, institutional researchers\, and student affairs professionals who lead or support assessment across departments and divisions. If your work centers on measurement strategy\, data analysis\, and translating findings into action\, this track will sharpen your edge. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Department and Divisional Leader Track\nThe act of assessment is more than measurement – it requires leaders to take an active role. Therefore\, these sessions will focus on leading the assessment process from a big-picture perspective for department and divisional leaders. Specifically\, this track will advance knowledge\, confidence\, and skills related to: (a) strategic planning\, (b) identifying opportunities for data-collection collaboration\, (c) data-informed reflection and decision-making\, and (d) storytelling. This track will focus on assessment as a leadership process for quality improvement efforts and impact storytelling. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who Should Choose This Track?\n				Assessment does not happen without leaders who understand its value and actively create the conditions for it to thrive. This track is for seasoned assessment department directors\, AVPs\, chiefs of staff\, and VPSAs who shape strategy\, culture\, and decision-making at the department or division level. If your role is less about running assessments and more about building the environment in which good assessment can flourish\, this track was designed with you in mind. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration Information COMING SOON!
