First-Generation Students and Advising – Friday 10/2 8:30-9:30am in Wilson Center
For first-generation students, going to college is uncharted territory. Many first-generation college students turn to their academic advisors for the support needed to succeed in college. In this session, we will share foundational information about first-generation students and an overview of common challenges facing these students. In addition, we will develop strategies and tools that can be used in your advising work with first-generation students.

Center for Faculty Enrichment
The September 25, 2015 Center for Faculty Enrichment program was a GIFT session (Great Ideas For Teaching) focused on the theme of fostering Signature Work (SW). As defined by the AAC&U, "Signature Work" represents a culminating production by students that reflects each student's personal interests, builds on a student's unique experiences, integrates multiple components of a student's educational journey, and projects toward each student's personal goals. Presenters will share teaching strategies that can help prepare novice students to produce a future piece of SW or that can help experienced students identify a meaningful SW project and integrate prior …

Signature Work and the Core Curriculum - Thursday 9/10 4:30-5:30pm in the Wilson Center
What is the goal of a Liberal Arts education? The college's Mission is to prepare students for meaningful lives of service and leadership in a diverse and changing world, and the notion of "Vocation" asks students to seek the intersection of their skills, their interests, and the needs of their communities during and after college. On the national stage, the AAC&U is advocating for ALL students to have access to "Signature Work", in which they pose and explore problems important to themselves and the world. …
Leaping Into Signature Work
Center for Faculty Enrichment
Augustana College was one of eight highly selective higher education institutions invited by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) to participate in the LEAP Challenge. The LEAP Challenge calls on colleges and universities to provide opportunities for all students to produce a meaningful piece of "Signature Work."
This session focused on the meaning of "Signature Work," the goals of the LEAP Challenge, the degree to which Augustana's efforts already align to the goals of the LEAP Challenge, and steps that we might take as a campus in moving even closer to fulling realizing the vision of "Signature Work …

Gendered Pronouns In The Classroom (August 24, 2015)
Center for Faculty Enrichment
Gendered Pronouns in the Classroom- Monday 8/24 4-5pm in Gävle Room 1
Last spring, the college community asserted that it will be inclusive of people of all genders. Since this affirmation, members of the campus community have requested professional development about the basic ideas in this discussion ("What is the difference between sex and gender?") as well as techniques for being inclusive ("How can I avoid misgendering a student or respond when others do?"). In this session, we will share foundational vocabulary, develop strategies for inclusion around gendered pronouns, and hold a Q&A with a couple of students about …

Education: Student Scholarship & Creative Works
The Augustana/Longfellow Number Sense Project (NSP) is a collaborative action research project that was created to provide purposeful, individualized instruction for Longfellow’s kindergarteners and enhance the teacher education program at Augustana. During this program, we work with Kindergarten students on mathematical concepts and skills. Our lessons incorporate both hands-on materials and educational software into our lessons. As we became familiar with this software, we began to suggest ways we could improve the software as well as ideas for new applications designed to help meet needs the students encountered in the classroom. Because the students interacted with a variety of teaching …

Eddie Mabry Diversity Award
Education is a spoken word poem that explores many aspects of the African American struggle within (self-knowledge). It starts with an African American college student who is disappointed with the lack of courses about her culture. Most curricula in the United States tend to be from a Eurocentric perspective, leaving out a multitude of information about people of color. All groups of people of color have unique experiences, however, African Americans have the most known (or perhaps I should say, unknown) history. The standard explanation of their existence is often limited to the start of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, when …
