Awesome session by Trenia Napier on “Incorporating Essential Skill 10 into Teaching & Learning.” Got to identify information literacy components in our assignments, choose anchor indicators, update our rubric language, & prepare for implementing the @CPENews Graduate Profile.

CPE’s Faculty Leadership Academy builds more than professional skills: It strengthens research and writing to deepen understanding of higher ed data and trends. Their current team project: develop a consensus topic and co-author an article for the Journal of Faculty Development.
