Academic Excellence Framework (AEF)

City Colleges Academic Affairs is proud to offer Instructional Fundamentals: Student Learning & Success, a self-paced, asynchronous short course intended to support faculty instructional development in line with Pillar 1 of the Academic Excellence Framework (ccc.edu/aef). Instructional Fundamentals: Student Learning & Success helps faculty reframe teaching as learning, leverage students’ prior knowledge, and preparing for the start of the term.

Objectives:

  1. Understand the shift from teaching focus to student learning focus
  2. Prepare to help students connect prior knowledge
  3. Identify formative feedback opportunities in your course

Examples of reflections & artifacts you’ll work on:

  • Application of student-focused learning
  • Tool to determine students’ prior knowledge
  • Modifications to syllabus

Schedule:
The short course is self paced and will be available throughout the Fall 2025 semester. Participants should plan to dedicate 4-6 hours total to take part in the short course.
