| |
Workshop 1: (Moving Forward in Institutional Effectiveness)
Focuses on governance, faculty and programs. You will draft some goals for conducting assessment in these areas, brainstorm about assessment tools that can either be designed or purchased in these areas, and develop ways to link the information to strategic planning and budget planning.
Workshop 2: (Getting Started in Learning Assessment)
Will focus on the assessment of learning. Sometimes, even though we set-up a foundation for institutional effectiveness at our schools and begin to conduct some basic assessment activities, we need a jump-start in finding strategies to help us assess the learning outcomes of the students. How can we show that they really have learned what we say they have learned?
Cost: $500 per workshop - $800 for the entire event. Additional participants from the school will pay a $400 per workshop fee or $600 for the entire event. Each workshop is two days in length. Minimum enrollment is 5. Maximum is 20. Registration fees include a workbook, lunches and breaks. |

Title: **TRACS Seminar on Private Support & Development
Date & Location: July 21-23 - The Kirkley Hotel, Lynchburg, VA
Presenter: Mickey Beckham, Clinton Junior College |
"Must Attend" Event! This session is back by popular demand! |
All TRACS institutions should plan on being involved in this summer seminar to discuss improving and accelerating fund raising. This is an area that many are doing a superb job, but all institutions need to improve and accelerate the amount of funding to annual funds, capital campaigns, planned giving, major gifts and adding endowment. In many ways this is one of the weakest areas of TRACS institutions, but the promise is great in adding private dollars for a Christian institution.
Cost: $400 for the first representative from your institution, $350 for each additional. Meals and lodging not included. |
