Academic Excellence Framework (AEF)

City Colleges Academic Affairs is proud to offer Instructional Fundamentals: Reflective Practice, a two-week, asynchronous short course intended to support faculty instructional development in line with Pillar 2 of the Academic Excellence Framework. Instructional Fundamentals: Reflective Practice challenges faculty to examine how they practice continuous improvement and equips them with ways to evaluate student learning and their own teaching.

Examples of reflections & artifacts you’ll work on:

  • Practice and share new tools for evaluating student work
  • Review and revise instructions for an assignment
  • Establish reflective practices for yourself

Schedule:
The short course will run from Wednesday, February 12 to Wednesday, February 26. Participants should plan to dedicate 2-3 hours each week (4-6 hours total) to take part in the short course.

To sign up for the short course, please complete the interest form by Thursday, February 6.

Short Course Outcomes
  •  Participants will use multiple sources of feedback to plan for improvements to their instruction 
  • Participants will set goals to stay current and grow in their fields, especially in relation to content expertise and instructional methods  
  • Participants will collaborate to review each other’s approaches and lay groundwork for sustaining reflection and continuous improvement 

The Academic Excellence Framework (AEF) clearly prioritizes the skills, activities, initiatives, roles, and goals that directly support consistently strong teaching and learning at City Colleges of Chicago.
