Once we know who is at Assessment Day, we will break people up into different groups. We’ll ensure that there’s representation of different campuses and type (full-time, adjunct) in each group.
Instead of “Team 1” etc., name them by the topic/unit they’ll be focusing on? What are the topics, units, etc. that they’ll be focusing on? Self-Awareness: Emotional Intelligence, SQ

18. Finding ELEMENT Interpersonal communication in our curriculum
Group activity:
Finding ELEMENT Interpersonal communication in our curriculum
In your designated group, record the ways:
In your designated group, record the ways:
How you are already teaching interpersonal communication?
How you’ve incorporated interpersonal communication into your classroom?
How you’ve incorporated interpersonal communication into assessments?
Are there any consistencies with how you facilitate?
You believe you can easily add interpersonal communication into:
Current course lessons
Current lectures
Current assignments
Future lessons, lectures, assignments
What ideas or topics did multiple people in your group think of?

19. Interpersonal Communication
Talk about infusing it into Co-Curricular “There’s a lot of ways we’re already doing it…. But for artifact usage: Personal Connection” – after they discuss their group work.
Interpersonal Communication

20. Next Steps
Interpersonal communication component needs to be Embedded throughout the course:
Co-Curricular/GoBe Reflection prompts for 2 Personal Connection sessions need to be revised
Final Story Project Rubric needs to be adjusted
Blackboard space/shell needs to be updated to reflect changes
Adjust Into to NSE Training
Key opportunities to align Interpersonal Communication component with current curriculum need to be identified
Team Needed: At least one person from assessment, one person from curricular, and one person from co-curricular
Communication to all NSE Faculty regarding changes to the Interpersonal Communication component of the course
