In 2024 Â鶹ӰÊÓ Teach transitioned just over 60% of its courses from a 16-week to 8-week format. This transition is aimed at increasing student success and helping to achieve timely completion getting them to well-paying jobs sooner.
The goal of February 2025 professional development activities is to share experiences with the eight-week courses to help inform decisions related to it. Through the inclusion of many perspectives, it is hoped that a clearer understanding of the rollout will emerge.
Below is a brief list of activities scheduled for the month of February. For more details on these activities, view the Center for Learning Excellence Calendar.
