Do you believe there is a connection here??? I am not sure? We should ask for attendees to share some of their ideas with the entire group. 2019 ASCCC Curriculum Institute

Small Group: Sharing and Learning Groups of four to six individuals What are some of the highlights of your college’s CWEE plan? What lessons has your college learned throughout the development and implementation of your colleges’ CWEE plan? What academic disciplines have participated in the development of your plan and how can we encourage other disciplines to explore opportunities in CWEE? Can we come up with at least 5 questions for the small groups to discuss? Can we get a sample CWEE plan just incase attendees are not familiar wit hits design? 2019 ASCCC Curriculum Institute

2019 ASCCC Curriculum Institute Share Out What we Learned? Ideas to take back to your campus. Potential new partners Is it possible for us to have each group write their responses on large poster paper and post them in the room? Or is this something we want to stay away from..lol After we have concluded sharing responses, should we open up the session for general questions? Dianna, as Raul and I have little experience with CWEE this would only occur if you are comfortable with such a general question period. 2019 ASCCC Curriculum Institute
