START THE YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH THE COLLABORATION’S TRAVELING WORKSHOPS
What’s the best way to ensure a great faculty or staff development workshop experience with guest facilitators on your campus, other than researching and auditioning presenters yourself? Tap into The Collaboration’s talented pool of workshop facilitators! We recruit our presenters, work with them to design workshop outlines and materials, match our talent to your needs, and monitor workshop results, including session evaluations. With help from our staff to find the perfect fit for your needs, you can choose a single workshop, a workshop series, or several workshops together to create a conference with concurrent sessions and multiple learning opportunities. We can customize the program to serve your needs, even combining it with our program consulting and evaluation services. Call us for help creating a plan to meet your needs for the coming academic year, but check out our online catalog first. There’s also a handy online inquiry form!
Whether you need one workshop on inclusive teaching for an annual campus event or departmental retreat, an article on developing a campus diversity plan to help guide your own planning, or a comprehensive approach to internationalizing the curriculum, The Collaboration can help you put together a program package to meet your unique campus needs. Choose from Traveling Workshops on a variety of topics; review articles for discussion in learning communities; or invite a team of external evaluators to assess a campus diversity initiative.

ASSESSMENT À LA CARTE
Is your institution eager to improve its efforts to assess student learning? Are you trying to find ways to create a "culture of assessment" among faculty, staff, and students or "close the loop" between assessment and the improvement of teaching? The Collaboration has a long history of programming in this area, including four major conferences and Summer Institutes, and we've worked to embed assessment into all the programs we do. Whether you need one Traveling Workshop, such as "Exploring the New Assessments," expert consultation for your leadership team, access to a professional network focused on assessment, or a combination of services on assessing general education, we can help you put together a customized package to strengthen your assessment efforts.
